• American attempts to dart through gap in semi-final

• Hocker won surprise gold at Paris 2024

USA’s Olympic 1500m champion Cole Hocker was disqualified from his semi-final at the world championships on Monday after he barged his way through a crowd on the home straight.

Hocker was boxed in on the inside with nowhere to go – just as he had been in the Olympic final a year ago. He saw a sliver of a gap open and charged through, making contact with Germany’s Robert Farken, and then broke clear to finish second. Farken, who appeared to have his rhythm disrupted, went on to finish 10th.

To come out here and set a PB and get to the semi-finals is amazing. I put in the work though. If I get here anyone can get here.

Donald Trump on Monday threatened to again take control of Washington DC’s police department if the city did not cooperate with his plans for mass deportations of undocumented immigrants.

The president’s threat came days after the expiration of a 30-day takeover of the Washington Metropolitan police department (MPD), which Trump ordered in response to his claim that the capital was experiencing an “out of control” crime wave. He also ordered in national guard troops and federal agents, who remain present in the city.
