Mr Friel stated that “Rab had a contagious enthusiasm in everything he did, and was a very well-liked figure within Scottish cycling.” “Rab loved to ride, but he was also an incredible coach. He could coach an elite rider, or a beginner, or even a child. “He can tune in to you, regardless of your level or discipline.

This is an emergency situation and you should immediately call 999. Death can happen in minutes. The heart’s pumping action is disrupted and it cannot send blood to the brain, lungs, or other organs. The chances of survival are reduced by every minute without CPR (cardiopulmonary rescue) and defibrillation (delivering an electric shock to get the heart beating back) It occurs when part of the heart muscle is deprived of blood supply, often due to a clot. A person who is having a heart attack could go into cardiac arrest. CPR should only be performed if the person is: unconscious and not breathingunconscious or not breathing properly It will check the heart rhythm and only give you a shock if necessary. It is impossible to shock someone accidentally.

Gervonta Davis defeats Ryan Garcia with a 7th round knockout

Gervonta drooled Ryan Garcia out in the 7th and dominated the entire contest.
Garcia’s confidence was evident from the start of the fight. ‘King Ryan,’ began brightly by popping his jab out and forcing Davis to fight on the back foot.
In the second round, Garcia was encouraged to let his hands fly and show off his blistering speed, which appeared to worry ‘Tank.’ This success was short lived, however, as Gervonta landed her signature straight left hand which sent Garcia to the floor.
Garcia didn’t seem injured, but from then on he was much more cautious about throwing combinations. Davis was able to win the next three rounds by out-landing his younger, less experienced opponent and out-boxing him.
In round six, Garcia gained confidence and was able land some flush right hand on the chin Davis, who displayed a solid chin.
Garcia’s success continued briefly in the seventh round, until he was caught again by a destructive left hand. Gervonta Davis hit Garcia with a vicious body shot. Ryan Garcia took a knee and retreated before failing to beat referees’ count.
Gervonta was the first to give Garcia a professional loss, and his record of 29 wins with 27 knockouts is now improved to 29 wins. Tank has a 93.1% strike rate and won his last three fights by stoppage or KO.
Gervonta Davies Reflects on Ryan Garcia’s Win
Gervonta remained mum at the post-fight media conference about who he might fight next. Davis, the WBA (Regular Lightweight) champion, has been compared to other world-class fighters like Devin Haney or Shakur Stevenson.
“We’ll have to go back and rethink the best course of action for my career.”
Haney is the undisputed light-weight champion and will face Vasyl Lomiakenko on the 20th of May at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Davis could therefore fight the winner of all the belts.
Davis did pay tribute to Ryan Garcia, whom he considers the toughest opponent he has faced in his career.
“I’d say he is the best fighter in my opinion. We were bouncing off each other’s energy. It was fun to talk in there. “I enjoyed every minute of it.”
‘Tank Davis’ maintains, however, that he was in total control of the fight throughout and was never hurt by any of Garcia’s punches.
“It’s boxing. He probably hit me with a good shot. Today, I didn’t get hit by any shots and I thought I was in serious trouble. I stayed calm. I felt he was more nervous than me. You want to be calm when you are dealing with someone like that because you don’t wish to make a mistake.
“He ran into a bullet when he came in. He was rushing. I knew from the start that I didn’t want to act like that. I want to remain calm, stay collective, and stay humble during the fight. “I was picking my shots.”
Gervonta is still only 28 years old. Many consider her to be one of the world’s best boxers based on pound-for -pound. After winning multiple world titles at different weight divisions, Tank has a lot of options for who he can fight next. Although he is currently competing at 135 lbs., he could easily move back down to 130 lbs or go up to 140 lbs.

Shikhar Dhawan Injury Update: Punjab Kings fielding coaches gives an update on skipper’s recovery

Punjab Kings lost the IPL 2023 match against Royal Challengers Bangalore played on Thursday. Shikhar Dhawan, the regular captain of PBKS, missed the previous two matches due to a shoulder injury he sustained against Gujarat Titans in April. The fielding coach provided an update on Dhawan’s recovery ahead of Saturday’s match. Trevor Gonsalves is the fielding coach for Punjab. He said that it would take two to three more days before regular captain Dhawan will be available.

This makes him a questionable starter for Saturday’s match against Mumbai Indians. Sam Curran will be the stand-in for Dhawan. Gonsalves commented on the match saying, “It was an excellent wicket to bat on.” They were bowled for 150 in 18 and a half overs, while chasing 175. We got them to a good score, but we lost a couple of wickets early on.

“Indian and RCB pacer Mohammed Siraj took 4/21, which did most of the damage in Punjab’s run chase. “He (Siraj), is one of best bowlers in the world right now,” said RCB bowling coach Adam Griffith. He has been bowling very well throughout the tournament and before that. We saw his bowling ability for India. Punjab Kings are currently in 7th place on the points table. They have won three out of six matches.
