MOTOR CYCLING
Valentino Rossi ended Casey Stoner's domination in Qatar as the Fiat Yamaha rider took victory in the opening round of this season's FIM MotoGP World Championship. Stoner had won every race at the Losail circuit since he joined the Marlboro Ducati team in 2007 and looked set to continue that record early on as he powered into the lead from pole position before he surprisingly crashed out. That left the stage free for reigning champion Rossi to take the 104th Grand Prix win of a remarkable career.
MODERN PENTATHLON
Great Britain's Mhairi Spence won her first Modern Pentathlon World Cup medal on Sunday by taking bronze on home soil at Medway Park. The Scot had a day to remember in Kent, winning the fencing and knocking down only one fence in the show jumping to go into the final event, the combined run and shoot, at the head of the pack.
MOTOR CYCLING
Leon Haslam stretched his lead in the FIM Superbike World Championship after a fine day's work in Valencia. Haslam won the opening race in the Spanish sun on his Alstare Suzuki before finishing fourth in a disjointed race two to extend his lead over Max Biaggi to 18 points after three rounds. Double WSB champion James Toseland made his first impression since returning to the series from MotoGP as he picked up a third in race one, while a third British rider Leon Camier was impressive in race two before crashing out from the lead.
ATHLETICS
Ethiopia's Atsede Bayisa successfully defended her Paris marathon title on Sunday in a time of two hours 22 minutes 04 seconds, the fastest time in the world this year. The 22-year-old posted a personal best and course record to finish well clear of France's Christelle Daunay, who lowered the national record to 2:24:22, with Ethiopia's Tsegaye Tirfi third in 2:24:51.
