The defeat ended a run of 40 straight victories for the 26-year-old, who admitted he had one eye on his upcoming wedding. “It was time to lose, it was a very long time (since the last time). I can’t fathom that I won 40 in a row, it’s pretty sick, but it’s also sick that I lose in Stockholm, which is the most important competition of the year for me,” Duplantis told Swedish broadcaster SVT.  “This is not the last time I will lose, but I hope it’s the last time I lose in Stockholm, I’m going to make sure of that, that it doesn’t happen again.” Jumping in front of his home crowd, the hugely popular Duplantis was aiming to beat his previous best mark of 6.31 to break the …

Trump’s Redistricting Push Suffers Setbacks in Alabama, South Carolina

May 26 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump’s push for Republican-led states to draw electoral maps more favorable to his ⁠party ⁠ahead of November’s midterm elections suffered twin setbacks on Tuesday, when ⁠efforts in South Carolina and Alabama to reshape U.S. House of Representatives districts were stymied. In a rare break with Trump by members of his own ​party, several Republican state senators in South Carolina voted with Democrats to abandon a new map aimed at dismantling the U.S. House district held by congressman James Clyburn, a Black Democrat first elected to the seat more than three ‌decades ago. Separately, a panel of three federal judges blocked Alabama ‌Republicans from installing a new map that would eliminate one of the state’s two districts with major Black populations, ruling that state lawmakers intentionally discriminated against Black voters in reconfiguring the boundaries. At Trump’s urging, Republicans in several Southern states ⁠have rushed to implement ⁠new maps following a U.S. Supreme Court decision in April that weakened protections for U.S. House districts with significant Black or ​Latino populations.

May 25 : Hawaiian Carissa Moore and Brazil’s Italo Ferreira claimed wins in top quality surf at the New Zealand Pro in Raglan on Monday, after a delay caused when an in-water photographer was injured by what was thought to be a shark or a sea lion. Hosting a full world championship tour competition for the first time, Raglan’s famously long left-handers turned up in perfect form on Monday, with glassy, overhead green walls wrapping around the boulder-strewn point. Olympic and five-times world champion Moore scored the highest two-wave total of the year, 19 out of 20, in her semi-final on Sunday. She started strongly in Monday’s final against 20-year-old Californian Sawyer Lindblad, kicking off with an 8.50 out of 10 for a series of powerful carves on her backhand. Lindblad kept in touch with a 7.67 for some speedy turns on her forehand on the wave behind and then took the lead with an even better 9 point ride on a clean, steep wall. But Moore, making a comeback after taking time off to …
