BEFORE Sydney McLaughlin and Femke Bol, there was Dalilah Muhammad. The 400m hurdler not just set a new record in the discipline but she was also the first woman to breach the 52.2 second barrier. At the Khalifa International in the final of the 400mH at the World Championships in 2019, Muhammad scorched her way to the tape at a time of 52.16 seconds, lowering her own world record in the process.

So You Think You are an Empath?

In this epoch of information overload, we watch a thousand crises unfold every day, where the sacred mixes with the profane at top speed, where the latest war updates are followed in quick succession by clips on how to wear a mekhela chador the proper way, how to make naan on an overturned tawa, what Ji Chang Wook said at the Gucci launch. This is popcorn for the brain, a topic I have addressed in an earlier column; we ingest everything, gulp it down, then move quickly on to the next snippet. Who really has the time to linger?
