    German publication SportBild have revealed the secret weapon which is fuelling Liverpool’s title charge: a special mineral drink developed by a former world champion swimmer.

    The Reds sit proudly on top of the Premier League having won six games from six, and also saw off Paris Saint-Germain in their opening game of their Champions League campaign .

    That run has got fans excited that the Reds can win the league title for the first time since 1990, with Jurgen Klopp’s men looking like the most likely challengers to Manchester City into the New Year.

    And former swimmer Mark Warnecke is key to the optimism around the club.

    Since leaving competitive swimming after the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janiero, Phelps has been enjoying retirement in Arizona with his wife Nicole and sons Boomer and Beckett, seven months. He’s also become an advocate for water conservation (he’s in his second year as global water ambassador for Colgate, working to remind people to turn off the faucet while brushing their teeth) and mental health awareness, and has openly discussed his struggle with depression.

  • From Freestyle to Free Time: Federica Pellegrini

    Sometimes you get used to people being part of the landscape, their presence is a constant, immutable and irreversible. Sport gives that illusion from time to time, only for time itself to enjoy the last laugh.

    The outpouring of sadness that greets footballers leaving the stage for the last time seems to be most poignant in Italy, perhaps the increased longevity, perhaps the more universal acclaim tearing up supporters more than elsewhere.

    Fans of the Azzurri may well find themselves saying farewell to another sporting legend this year, as Federica Pellegrini has intimated that she may be on the verge of hanging up her swimming costume one final time.

    “My heart is telling me to stop after too many personal disappointments out of the pool,” she recently confessed, “on the other hand, my head wants me to continue. By Autumn I will decide what to do with my life permanently.”
