NASSAU, BAHAMAS – It’s the most stacked field of any event at the World Athletics Champships, and Devynne Charlton was right back in the mix among the best in the world in the 100m hurdles.

Charlton finished sixth in the final at the 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, Japan with a season’s best time of 12.49 seconds.

It was a performance that continued her consistent progression not only throughout the season, but also in Tokyo.

She came in with a previous season best of 12.52 seconds set just weeks earlier in Zurich, lowered that to 12.51 seconds in the semifinal, and then again in the final.

It was the third World Championship 100m hurdles final in Charlton’s career.

In 2015, she didn’t advance out of the heats, 2017 she reached the semifinals and finished 13th overall, 2021 she broke through to her first final and placed seventh, and in 2023 in Budapest she narrowly missed the podium, finishing fourth while setting a new Bahamian national record of 12.44 seconds.

Team Bahams continues competition tomorrow with Printassia Johnson in the semifinals of the women’s 400m.

Still yet to compete – Ian Kerr in the 200m, Rhema Otabor and Keyshawn Strachan in the javelin, and Kendrick Thompson in the decathlon.

WNBA

The New York Liberty are a different team when they’re healthy – that much we know. Jonquel jones and the squad looked that way for most of last night but now they’re crossing their fingers hoping to avoid the injury bug once again.

Jones finished with seven points, a game high 12 rebounds, and three blocked shots in New York’s 76-69 overtime win over the Phoenix Mercury in game 1 of the WNBA playoffs first round.

Jones’ dominance on the boards helped the Liberty win the rebound battle 48-31.

That was the good news but what happened in overtime have to have Liberty fans thinking – “not again”

All-star forward Breanna Stewart sustained an apparent left knee injury with just over three minutes remaining in overtime when she converted on an and-one layup but landed awkwardly after contact.

Game two is set for Wednesday night back at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Basketball

Kai Jones will be back on the court pretty soon, not in the NBA, but in the Turkish Superleague.

Jones signed with Anadolu Efes SK for the upcoming season in turkey,

Last season the club finished near the top of the Turkish Superleague standings and reached the domestic playoff finals, but in the Euroleague they missed the final four after falling in the quarterfinals.

His move to efes comes after several seasons of growing pains and sporadic spots in the NBA.

Important to note – the contract does include an nba out clause that can be triggered in January.

Speaking of the NBA, Jones has played in 107 games over the course of his career combining stints with the Charlotte Hornets, Los Angeles clippers and the Dallas Mavericks.

He averaged around 3.5 points and 2.4 rebounds in 10 minutes per game.

His most successful stint was a 12 game run with the Mavs where he averaged 11.4 points and 6.6 rebounds per game.

On the international stage, Jones has also represented The Bahamas at various levels most recently at the 2023 FIBA World Cup qualifiers where he averaged about 18 points and 8 rebounds per game.
