      The Londoner has geared up for the Budapest Worlds with a deadlift of 90kg – her heaviest ever weights – in a gym in the Canary Islands.
      And the tune Shock Da World by American rapper Rod Wave was blasting into her eardrums via her AirPods.
      Neita, who runs in 100m heats at 11.10am, posted a video of her clean lift on Instagram and she high-fived teammates when it was done.
      The 26-year-old, whose 100m PB is 10.90 seconds, said: “I’ve been attempting that weight since January.

      “We went to a recent warm-weather camp in Tenerife for 3-4 weeks.
      “I’ve attempted it a couple of times this season as well and just couldn’t lift it.
      “I put my headphones in, put my favourite song on, and I just said: ‘This is go time, I’m heading to these world champs in PB form. Let me start with PBs in this gym.’
      “I just picked up the bar, lifted it and it just flew up.

      “It just meant so much that I found the strength. I said to my coach, from that moment in the gym, I just feel so switched on now going into the worlds.
      “I’ve been in a completely different zone after lifting that. It has just given me a lot of confidence as well to know I’m actually in PB form on and off the track.
      “So, yeah, I’m heading into the championships very confident and knowing that I’m in my best ever form physically.” More

      I’m a Team GB star gunning for gold at Paris 2024 Olympics… just months after giving birth to son-turned-mascot

      by

      ARTHUR MARCHANT might only be 14 months old but already he has established an important role at British Cycling for the Paris 2024 Olympics.His mum Katy, one of Britain’s leading riders and a medal contender next summer, joked: “He’s the unofficial team mascot. Everyone here absolutely loves him.

      “Arthur came on our recent training camp and spent a lot of time at the track. When he saw the bikes go past, he started to clap.
      “I think he’s aware to some degree of what I do. Like every time he sees a bike, he now says: ‘Mama.’”
      As any parent would appreciate, Marchant faced a task to get Arthur to stay still for SunSport’s photoshoot launch to promote her inclusion in our SEINE-sational Seven Series for the next Olympics.
      She said: “It was quite hard to make a one-year-old cooperate. But I think he did alright. Everyone was jumping up and down, singing and dancing. It was entertaining.”

      Arthur was born on June 8, 2022 – less than a year after his mum, 30, had crashed out of the Covid-affected Tokyo Olympics in the Keirin quarter-finals and placed sixth in the women’s sprint.
      It was on the flight home that a regretful Marchant – an Olympic bronze medallist from the Rio 2016 Games – felt she had “real unfinished business” within the sport.
      It is why, thanks to the support of the National Lottery, she has decided to combine parenting with pedalling for one more shot at the Olympics.
      Marchant said: “I just didn’t feel ready to give up. But I also didn’t want to completely put my life hold.

      “My husband Rob and I got married in September 2021, four weeks after the Games. Then we found out I was pregnant.
      “The timing was perfect. I just thought this is the challenge that I need.
      “It was a year of carnage. We have two puppies as well. We were renovating a house. It was all systems go. But it was so worth it.”
      This weekend she will wear GB colours at major level for the first time since giving birth 14 months ago.
      Leeds-born Marchant rides the Keirin at the UCI World Cycling Championships in Glasgow and is a reserve for the women’s team sprint.
      This is the last big event before the Paris programme begins and Marchant knows she has to deliver – selectors will not pick her on sentimental grounds.

      Training-wise, her numbers in training have been as impressive as ever, particularly her first-ever 100kg power-clean lift achieved in May.
      Her old heptathlon training partner, Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill, has been around in recent months to give advice about motherhood and elite sport.
      Mum-of-two Ennis-Hill, 37, famously won the world heptathlon title in Beijing in 2015 – and then Olympic silver in 2016 – not long after the birth of son Reggie.
      Marchant said: “It was nice to have the guidance of those people who’ve done it before me.
      “I literally trained right before having Arthur. I was in the gym the week before. I was on the (static) bike the day before.
      “I’m used to being in pain. My body is used to being tired.

      “Around this time, I was like: ‘Should I be tired? Am I doing damage? Am I doing too much? How much should I push it?’
      “But Jess said to me, just listen to your body. If it feels like you can do it, then you should be doing it. And I’ve ridden that wave pretty much all the way through.
      “Ten years ago, when I first started cycling, I never for a second thought I’d have a family and continue my career.
      “You shouldn’t have to put family on hold for your career and vice versa. I’m a big believer you can do both.
      “I do hope people see my story and think actually it is possible.
      “At times I feel guilty that I’m away racing. I feel I should be at home. I’m just riding around in circles on a bike after all.

      “But I’m in a really lucky position to be able to get named in the team so soon after having Arthur.
      “I’m only here because I believe my performances can be better and good enough to get on that Paris team.”

      Della Pascoe dead at 74: Two-time Olympian and former British record holder dies after battle with Parkinson’s Disease

      by

      FORMER British Olympic sprinter Della Pascoe has died aged 74.The star competed at the Games in 1968 and 1972 and held the 100m British record, making her one of the country’s finest athletes of her era.

      According to Athletics Weekly, she passed away yesterday after suffering from Parkinson’s Disease for a few years.
      Born in Southsea in 1949, Pascoe – initially Della James – excelled at youth level winning various English schools titles.
      She went to Mexico 1968 aged just 19 and reached the 100m semi-finals.
      However, it was in the quarters that she made history by equalling Dorothy Hyman’s British record with a time of 11.3 seconds.
      READ MORE IN SPORT
      Pascoe also formed one leg of the 4x200m team that broke the world record in 1968.
      Four years later at the Munich 1972 Olympics, she was knocked out of the 200m in the quarter-finals and finished seventh in the 4x100m final.
      She won a further 12 medals at the Women’s AAA national championships.
      However, Pascoe was controversially snubbed for the 1974 Commonwealth Games – despite finishing on the podium in the 100m and 200m trials.
      Most read in Athletics
      Some suggested it was due to her marrying outspoken fellow athlete Alan Pascoe, whom she met as a teenager.
      Pascoe said in 2017: “Alan and I met at the running track in Portsmouth.
      “I had to slow down for him to catch me.”
      Following the Commonwealth heartache, Pascoe subsequently retired and spent time as an art teacher and did lots of charity work, specifically raising money through popular garden parties.
      Della and Alan had two children together, daughter Lucy and son Daniel. More

      Sir Mo Farah teases shock career change as Team GB Olympic legend reveals he was inspired after watching KSI

      by

      SIR MO FARAH revealed he wants to lace up the boxing gloves having been inspired by watching KSI fight. The long-distance runner has achieved it all on the track, winning gold at the world championship and Olympics.

      But the Team GB legend is open to trying his hand at boxing as the rise in celebrity bouts continue to grow.
      Asked by KSI’s Misfits promotion if he would step in the ring, Farah responded: “One hundred per cent.
      “Listen, it depends, I would need to do a bit of training and get confidence but I would love to challenge myself maybe one day.”
      Farah, 40, was at Wembley Arena to watch YouTube star KSI fight businessman-turned boxer Joe Fournier.

      But the bout ended in controversy when KSI, 29, knocked out Fournier, 40, in the second round.
      What looked to be a textbook KO was later revealed on replays to have been caused by an accidental but illegal elbow.
      It left four-time Olympic champion Farah calling for a rematch.
      He said: “For me, it was a good fight but then obviously stuff changed so quickly. I didn’t even know what happened, I looked over and that was it.

      “It was amazing, again as I said overall, to see so many people I know, I’ve known Joe for many years, we went to the same school.
      “KSI, good friend. I could see a rematch coming up.”
      A fuming Fournier accused KSI of cheating after the result stood and threatened legal action.

      The Professional Boxing Association – who sanctioned the bout – have since confirmed an appeal has been lodged.
      And the result of Fournier’s appeal is set to be concluded by Friday.

      British coach and ex-Corrie star BANNED for three years after admitting to fat-shaming and mocking disabled people

      by

      A BRITISH Athletics coach has been banned for three years after admitting to misconduct charges including fat-shaming and mocking disabled people.Fuzz Caan, who has appeared in Coronation Street, was originally suspended by UK Athletics in June 2021.
      Fuzz Caan has received a three-year ban for misconduct
      The British coach has admitted to the charges against him
      It came after the organisation received a letter of complaint “signed by several individuals in the high jump community”.
      The decision meant he was unable to coach his athletes – including Morgan Lake and Emily Borthwick – at the Tokyo Olympic Games.
      An investigation was then carried out by UK Athletics and 12 charges were subsequently levelled at Caan.
      They included claims he “repeatedly swore and shouted” at an athlete “for a period of several minutes”.
      READ MORE IN SPORT
      He was also said to have labelled an athlete a “f***ing idiot”, a para-athlete “fat and slow”, and a doctor a “f***wit”.
      Another startling allegation was that he “made fun of disabled people by doing an impression where he walked with a limp, held his arm bent and made noises whilst sticking his tongue out”.
      Caan, who helped Robbie Grabarz win a silver medal at the 2012 London Games, was also accused of calling his athletes by highly inappropriate names.
      They included “bad foot Gay” and “limp foot Christie”.
      Most read in Athletics
      Caan, who started working as a consultant at the Saudi Olympic Training Centre last year, was due to appear at a UK Athletics hearing into the charges this week.
      But a decision has now been reached without a hearing due to his admission of guilt.
      UK Athletics confirmed Caan’s coaching license will be suspended for three years – a period backdated from June 2021. More

      I’m Team GB’s first ever BMX medallist and I’m best mates with Reiss Nelson – I always knew Arsenal star would succeed

      The pair, both now 23, spent hours riding their bikes around South London while growing up.
      Whyte — whose silver at Tokyo 2020 was Team GB’s first-ever BMX medal — said: “Reiss used to live on a Walworth estate, I lived in Peckham. We used to ride mountain bikes together. And Reiss is pretty decent on a bike, to be fair.
      “He never did the BMX as he was doing his football at that time.
      “We became good friends and have been friends ever since.

      “We used to ride all over London. No destination. Just rode to silly places.
      “We used to ride to the South Bank and back a lot. Mainly round the streets.
      “Though back in the day, he had a couple of falls off his bike while doing a wheelie!
      “I always knew Reiss was one of the best in South London.

      “In my heart, I always wanted him to be in the Premier League and doing the things he’s doing now.”
      Nelson has had to wait for his chance with Arsenal following injury setbacks and loan spells with German outfit Hoffenheim and Holland’s Feyenoord.
      But on Saturday, he wrote his name into Arsenal folklore with his 97TH-MINUTE winner for Mikel Arteta’s men as they came back from 2-0 down to beat Bournemouth 3-2.
      Nelson is now set to start in tonight’s Europa League last-16 first-leg clash against Sporting Lisbon in Portugal.
      Whyte, who appeared in last year’s Dancing on Ice series, is full of admiration for his mate.
      And the Olympian will use him as a role model and inspiration as he targets gold at the 2024 Paris Games. Gunners fan Whyte added: “When Reiss scored in the last minute, I called his cousin and his brother. They were at the Emirates Stadium, literally crying and shouting.
      “I couldn’t believe it. Reiss is enjoying his time right now.
      “That goal could be the moment in the Premier League — the difference from Manchester City catching us.
      “What he has done for himself, the club and his family is unreal.
      “When we are out together or walk down the streets, people stop him for pictures.

      “He isn’t flashy, he looks after his family. He’s a great guy.
      “In BMX it is not the same amount of money.
      “But when I saw his house, I said to him that it has made me want to push more in my sport.
      “I want to buy my house like that and do the things he has done for his family for my own.”
      Whyte backed his pal to go even further and added: “One hundred per cent, Reiss can go to the top.
      “I feel like he needs to be a starter now. I feel like he needs to be given that chance to show what he can do and prove himself.
      “Reiss is very humble and level-headed, he makes sure he is at training on time.

      “He’s very professional and keeps his other life away from the football life. He does what needs to be done.
