"Boundaries aren’t meant to scare me"-Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone gets real about pushing herself as she aims to achieve greater heights in the sport Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, the reigning World Athlete of the Year, opened up about her fearless mindset in a recent Harper's Bazaar interview, declaring: "Boundaries aren’t meant to scare me; they’re meant to be pushed through." After a groundbreaking 2025 season—winning the 400m flat world title in Tokyo with a championship record 47.78 seconds and contributing to 4x400m relay gold—the Olympic champion reflected on stepping outside her comfort zone by switching from her dominant 400m hurdles. She views limits as opportunities for growth, both on the track and in life, like managing finances and personal development. This approach fuels her pursuit of excellence, with eyes on further records and possibly new events ahead of future competitions. #achievegreaterheights #SydneyMcLaughlinLevrone #sportivo

Sivert Guttorm Bakken, the talented Norwegian biathlon athlete and Olympic hopeful, passed away unexpectedly at the age of 27 while training in Italy, leaving the biathlon community in deep sorrow. The International Biathlon Union (IBU) expressed their profound sadness at the loss, noting that Bakken’s journey back to the sport after being diagnosed with myocarditis, a heart condition, following the 2022 season, was nothing short of inspiring. During his career, he had participated in 31 World Cup competitions, achieving four first-place finishes, including a memorable victory in Oslo in front of his home fans in 2022. At the time of his passing, he was the reigning European champion in the 10-kilometer sprint and two relay events, actively preparing for the Milan Olympics. IBU President Olle Dahlin highlighted Bakken’s resilience and determination, describing his return to biathlon as a source of immense joy and inspiration for everyone involved in the sport. Teammates, including Sturla Holm Laegreid, shared heartfelt tributes, emphasizing how Bakken faced challenges with unwavering strength and became a role model whose dedication and perseverance inspired those around him. His legacy in the biathlon world and the lives he touched will be remembered with admiration and respect. #SivertBakken #Biathlon #OlympicHopeful #Inspiration #Resilience #SportsCommunity #EuropeanChampion #AthleteLegacy #NeverGiveUp #sportivo
