"Foolish" Ronaldo Mocked by Everyone

Publication by EssentiallySports | October 7, 2026 | Edition #756 |
Hey Athletic Fans,
Cristiano Ronaldo's lengthy explanation for walking out on Portugal was supposed to clear the air. Instead, journalists are tearing it apart, calling it foolish and embarrassing— and accusing him of turning it into a public spectacle that's only made him look worse.
Also today, Noah Lyles' biggest rival opens up about what it actually felt like to finally win 100m gold at the World Ultimate Championships, after years of chasing that exact moment.
All that and more in today’s edition of Essentially Athletics.

Does Cristiano Ronaldo deserve the hate he's getting? |

20-year-old Jarno Widar produced his first-ever professional victory at Tre Valli Varesine, patiently sitting in before launching a long, blistering sprint to drop Tom Pidcock and Matteo Jorgenson — a statement result for the Belgian against a field featuring the reigning world champion.

On this day in 1928, Paavo Nurmi set a world record of 50:15.0 for 10 miles in Berlin, doing it as part of the same effort that also produced a world record in the one-hour run (19,210m) — two records from a single race.
The mark stood for 17 years before Finland's Viljo Heino finally broke it in 1945. It's one of 22 official world records Nurmi sets across his career.
That haul helped him retire with nine Olympic golds, a record that stood until Michael Phelps surpassed it eight decades later in Beijing.
