The first medallists of the World Indoor Athletics Championships have been determined

On 1 March, the World Indoor Athletics Championships kicked off in Glasgow, Scotland.

Christensen does not want to leave Barcelona

Barcelona defender Andreas Christensen has recently been strongly linked with leaving the Blaugrana, as the club are planning to reset the squad after Xavi's departure and there have been claims for the centre-back.

The first stage of the Biathlon World Cup after the World Championships has started

The Biathlon World Cup started in Holmenkollen, Norway, on 1 March. Although the first race was supposed to be held a day earlier, it was postponed to 1 March due to bad weather conditions.

In both races, which were men's and women's individual races, the Norwegians triumphed: Sturla Laegreid and Ingrid Tandrevold. The stage will continue on March 2 with the men's and women's mass start races.

Barcelona chose the latter between Flick and De Zerbi.

Barcelona continue their search for Xavi's successor, and there are two candidates on Joan Laporta's desk: Hans-Dieter Flick and Roberto De Zerbi. The Italian is the more acceptable option, as his tactical courage is favoured by Barcelona, while the German has little experience of working outside his homeland.
