Apenas una semana después del anuncio de su fichaje por el Getafe, Dani Carvajal debutó como titular en el once de José Bordalás. Los azulones, que comenzaron el jueves la Conference con un empate ante el Universitatea Craiova en Rumanía, recibían a un Rayo que sigue en momentos convulsos entre la directiva y la afición. La clasificación auguraba un duelo parejo: ambos llegaban con ocho puntos a esta jornada. Sin embargo, la expulsión de Djené en el minuto 28 partido por cortar la progresión de Camello siendo el último hombre cuando el ariete enfilaba la portería, otorgó una superioridad numérica a un Rayo que ya se había adelantado en el marcador a los 11 minutos de encuentro después de que Álvaro García culminara un contraataque sensacional. Los de Beñat San José dominaron el primer acto, pero el Getafe dio mucha guerra e inclusó estrelló un balón en el poste en un remate de Enes Ünal.

Nine-year-old Ukrainian Anastasiia Kovtun won a silver medal at the international Romanian Junior Open 2026 tournament, held on October 16–18 in Bucharest. For the young athlete, it was the first international tournament of her career. Overall, Ukrainian squash players demonstrated strong results, winning in five age categories.

The competition took place at the Infinity Sport Arena sports complex under the auspices of the European Squash Federation (ESF). Romanian Junior Open is part of the international ESF Junior Circuit series and has Bronze status.

One of the main stories of the Ukrainian team’s performance was the success of 9-year-old Anastasiia Kovtun in the youngest age category, Girls U11.

Despite the competition in Bucharest marking Nastia’s debut at international level, she confidently advanced through the group stage. The Ukrainian successively defeated Romania’s Anna Oltean 3:0 (11:4, 11:9, 11:9), as well as two Bulgarian athletes — Ema Taneva 3:0 (11:3, 11:5, 11:5) and Gabriela Zarova 3:0 (11:8, 11:2, 11:2).

In the decisive match for the gold medal, Anastasiia faced another Ukrainian, Oleksandra Sinielnikova, who has considerable experience competing in international and Polish junior tournaments. The final ended with Sinielnikova winning 3:0 (11:3, 11:5, 11:5).

Thus, Oleksandra Sinielnikova became the Romanian Junior Open 2026 champion among girls under 11, while Anastasiia Kovtun claimed a silver medal at her very first international tournament.

Five gold medals for Ukrainian athletes

Other Ukrainian participants also performed successfully. Among boys under 11, another all-Ukrainian final took place.

Artem Kostiukov and Mark Hrabovskyi competed for the championship title. Both athletes won their groups, each recording three victories.

In the group stage, Kostiukov defeated two representatives of Romania and an athlete from Israel, while Hrabovskyi beat two Romanian squash players and a representative of Bulgaria. In the final, Artem Kostiukov emerged victorious 3:1 (11:7, 11:6, 7:11, 11:8).

It is worth noting that Artem Kostiukov continues his family’s sporting traditions.

His mother is the well-known Ukrainian squash player Anastasiia Kostiukova, a Ukrainian champion and multiple winner of national competitions, including the 2023 Ukrainian Cup.

In 2022, she became the first Ukrainian woman to win a squash match at the World Games and also took silver at the international PSA Saarland Squash Open tournament.

In the Girls U13 category, Varvara Sinielnikova took first place, demonstrating confident play throughout the tournament.

Viktoriia Syvoplias brought Ukraine another gold medal in the Girls U19 category. In the final, she defeated Bulgaria’s Emma Peteva in a tense five-game contest — 3:2 (7:11, 11:9, 11:5, 8:11, 11:8).

Nestor Saplashenko secured another victory for Ukraine in the Boys U15 category. In the final, he defeated Greece’s Konstantinos Christos Papatheodorou 3:1 (11:8, 11:7, 7:11, 11:9).

Ukrainian Oleksandra Orlenko also competed in the Girls U19 category, finishing the tournament in seventh place.

• Dean Karnazes holds the world record for the longest distance a human has ever run nonstop.
• His advice for going farther than you think you can: redefine success before the race begins.
• When the pain hits, Karnazes says there’s one rule: keep moving — even if you have to walk.

For decades, scientists have tried to understand what separates people capable of extraordinary endurance from everyone else. Is it genetics? VO₂ max? Pain tolerance? Mental toughness?

Dean Karnazes has spent more than 30 years giving them a remarkable case study.

He's run 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 consecutive days, crossed Death Valley in the middle of summer, and in 2005 set the record for the longest nonstop run — covering 350 miles in 80 hours and 44 minutes.

Even that wasn't enough.

"I actually made it 350 miles, which was somewhat of a letdown because I thought maybe I could run 500 miles," Karnazes told me. "That was kind of the ultimate goal." His world record still stands today, 21 years later.

After decades of ultrarunning, Karnazes says he's learned that doing hard things comes down to a handful of simple habits that anyone can practice.

Don't make winning the goal

Karnazes has finished on the podium plenty of times, but he says that's never been what pulled him to the starting line.

"I do it for the adventure," he said. "Both the inner and the outer adventure. I've never really said I want to win a race. I just thought, be the best Dean that Dean can be on race day."

He says approaching races that way has changed how he defines success. The podium, if it comes, is just the cherry on top.

That mindset, he says, has kept him motivated through hundreds of marathons and ultramarathons, long after chasing trophies stopped being interesting.

Redefine what success looks like

When Karnazes gives advice to new ultrarunners, he doesn't start with mileage or pace.

"Just set your goal on finishing," he said. "Don't say I want to do it in sub five hours or sub six hours. Just say, 'For me, success is reaching the finish line before the cutoff.'"

Karnazes says that approach has a way of changing how you see your own limits.

"You'll prove to yourself that you're better than you think you are. And you can go further than you think you could."

Keep moving, even if you have to slow down

The advice sounds simple, but following it is another story.

At some point during his 350-mile run, Karnazes stopped trusting what he was seeing.

After nearly three days without sleep, he said he started hallucinating. He felt as though he had left his own body and was watching himself from above.

"When you're in these altered states, it's as though you don't have conscious control of your mind," he said. "You're fighting your mind to stay present, but your mind gets away from you."

Despite that, he kept running.

I asked Karnazes for his advice to aspiring ultrarunners who worry they'll hit a point where the pain becomes too much.

"You walk if you have to," he said. "You slow down, you push through the pain, and you come out the other side, and you're rejuvenated."

In 2022, Aleksandr Sorokin ran 198.6 miles in 24 hours, nearly eight marathons in a single day — a new world record.

How does anyone run that far, that fast, for that long? It turns out six factors have to be perfectly dialed in to break a distance-running world record: VO₂ max, form, footwear, fuel, environment, and the mind.

To understand each one, Business Insider met with athletes and scientists who are pushing the limits of human endurance. We tracked down Kristian Blummenfelt, the Olympic and Ironman champion whose team recorded a VO₂ max of 101.1.

We visited Stanford's biomechanics lab, where researchers built a digital model of Dean Karnazes, who holds the record for the longest distance ever run nonstop.

We tried on supershoes and looked at how much energy their foam gives back. We explored what an ultrarunner's gut can handle, and what a hot room does to the body's core temperature.

Then there's the mind. We went to Queens, New York, for the Sri Chinmoy 3100, a race where runners circle the same block for 52 days, and asked the front-runner what keeps him going.
