21-05-2024 Breakfast Bites FIJI & PACIFIC SPORTS NEWS Podcast S09E45 #TeivovoSports #TeivovoDigital

Kia ora, Talofa, Ma’lelei, Bula, Aloha and Welcome to Season 09 Episode 45 of Breakfast Bites, by TEIVOVOdigital.com – a wrap of Pasifika people’s sports news, on a sunny and bright Tuesday morning 21 May 2024.
 
Coming to you with tons of hanisi from the 180th meridian, in the middle of the blue continent.
 
In combat sports: Nobody believes Tyson Fury’s wild claims that he won the fight, especially when you look at the way Usyk had him in BIG trouble in the 9th round.
 
In Rugby: China Women formerly coached by Osea Kolinisau and now coached by Rocky Ali and Uruguay Men were crowned World Rugby HSBC 7s Challenger 2024 Champions, and so qualifying for HSBC SVNS promotion-relegation competition in Madrid on 31 May-2 June against the big boys and girls.
 
Argentina, Belgium and Poland join China in the Women’s HSBC SVNS play-off, while Uruguay, Chile, Kenya and Germany qualify for the Men’s competition.

Tonga Men were thrashed 42-14 by Hong Kong in their quarterfinal, while Papua New Guinea Men disappeared somewhere.

In rugby league: BREAKING NEWS: The Parramatta Eels have sacked Head Coach Brad Arthur after their horror 16-48 loss to a depleted Storm side in Magic Round, but the call was actually made weeks ago and players didn’t even know when it became public yesterday afternoon.
 
The Eels Board attempted to sign Wayne Bennett as a replacement a few weeks ago, but failed to convince Bennett NOT to rejoin South Sydney.

In Football: Jurgen Klopp hailed Liverpool’s fans as the “superpower of world football” after his final match as Manager ended in a 2-0 win at home to Wolves on an emotional day at Anfield on Sunday.
 
The German led the Club to Champions League glory in 2019 — the sixth time they had been crowned European champions.

The following season he secured his place as a Liverpool great by winning their first Premier League title for 30 years, the 19th time they had been crowned English champions.

He also lifted the FA Cup and won two League Cups in his spell.

Liverpool won the League Cup final against Chelsea in February but crashed out of the FA Cup against Manchester United and the Europa League against Atalanta.

Their Premier League title bid also faded quickly, but by finishing third Liverpool have qualified for next season’s Champions League.

In SportsBiz: A wild and chaotic PGA Championship on and off the course, ended with a dramatic finish Sunday evening as American standout and PGA Tour loyalist Xander Schauffele birdied the final hole to beat LIV Golf star Bryson DeChambeau by one stroke.
 
Schauffele takes home US$3.3Million for his first major championship title at Valhalla Golf Club, bringing his total earnings so far in 2024 to just under US$11M.

That puts him in second place on the PGA Tour this year, behind only Masters champion Scottie Scheffler, who has made more than US$19M on the course. 

Scheffler finished tied for eighth at the PGA Championship—a solid result considering he nearly missed his second round tee time Friday morning after being arrested following an incident just outside the golf course.

In the NBA: The Minnesota Timberwolves have completed the biggest Game 7 comeback in NBA history, overcoming a 20-point deficit to stun the Denver Nuggets 90-98 and sending the defending champions packing.
 
Minnesota trailed 58-38 early in the third quarter, with Denver seemingly on track to book its place in the Western Conference Finals.

Bye bye Donic.

And that’s a wrap!
