No woman had run under 48 seconds in the 400 metres since Marita Koch ran the world record of 47.60 on 6 October 1985, 40 years ago. To have two women run under 48 seconds in the same race is absolutely unbelievable! Jarmila Kratochvílová is the only other athlete who has run sub-48 seconds...

What an incredible performance by Spaniard Marc Soler, winning solo stage 14 of the La Vuelta Ciclista a España atop the mountaintop finish of Alto de la Farrapona; the man is made of steel.
