MOSCOW, Nov 25, (RTRS): The head of Russia’s Olympic Committee on Monday called for a full overhaul in the leadership of the country’s suspended athletics federation after the sport’s global governing body halted its reinstatement process.

Russia’s athletics federation had been suspended since 2015 over a report commissioned by the World AntiDoping Agency (WADA) which found evidence of mass doping in the sport.

It has since been working towards reinstatement but World Athletics, the sport’s global governing body formerly known as the IAAF, last week halted the process and raised the possibility of the Russian federation being expelled altogether after its president and six others were provisionally suspended over breaches of anti-doping rules. given the conditions.”

They played the 18th twice in the playoff, matching pars on the first extra hole.

“I was definitely nervous, yeah,” Duncan said. “I’ve been working really hard on controlling my emotions and breathing and all that stuff and it paid off down the stretch here, especially this playoff. I was just able to keep calm and trust what I was doing.”

Simpson has four top-seven finishes in eight starts in the event.

“I felt like it was going to go my way, but that’s what great players do, they birdie the last two holes like he did,” Simpson said. “So, tough to finish that way, but all in all, a great week.” The 30-year-old Duncan regained his PGA Tour card with a 12th-place finish in the Korn Ferry Tour Finals after finishing 163rd in the FedEx Cup standings. He shot a 61 on Friday, then made 18 pars in a 70 on Saturday that left him four strokes behind third-round leader Brendon Todd.

I hit one of the best 4-irons I’ve ever hit on 17 6 feet up the hill and you guys saw the probably 30-footer I made here on 18 just to get to a playoff.” 70, a one-shot victory over hard-charging Charley Hull and a $1.5 million payoff.

“It means a lot to me just knowing that I won the biggest purse in women’s golf history,” said Kim, whose wire-towire win was her third of the year. “That itself is an incredible honor.” Hull made her earn it. Six shots behind going to the back nine at Tiburon Golf Club, Hull birdied five of her last seven holes, including the last three. Her 12-foot birdie on the 18th gave her a 66 and a share of the lead.

made a 30-foot eagle putt on the par-5 17th and came inches short of a closing birdie to tie. Kim was fully aware of the pressure she felt.

“I was really nervous while walking through hole 18,” she said. “I was like: ‘OK, not a big deal. Try to play like a practice round,’ thinking that would make me comfortable. Even then, I was
