Union Berlin’s Marie-Louise Eta aware of special position in Bundesliga but wants to focus on football <div id="content-body-70869534" itemprop="articleBody"><p>Union Berlin’s new coach Marie-Louise Eta — the first woman to manage a Bundesliga team — is well aware of the discussions regarding her appointment last week but said on Thursday she was only focused on getting the side back on the winning track.</p><p>Eta was appointed interim head coach on Saturday for the remainder of the season following the dismissal of Steffen Baumgart with Union in 11th place.</p><p>She will oversee the men’s first team through the end of the campaign before moving to the club’s women’s side.</p><p>“I totally understand that in public there is this issue (of the first woman as a Bundesliga coach),” she told a press conference ahead of her first game on Saturday at home to strugglers VfL Wolfsburg.</p><p>“I obviously know the issue and it was never about that. It’s always about football, about working with people … and about being successful.</p><p>“I have the trust of the club and I am happy about it. The most important thing now is to prepare for the weekend against Wolfsburg,” Eta said.</p><p><b>ALSO READ | <a href="https://sportstar.thehindu.com/football/bundesliga/bundesliga-2025-26-vincent-kompany-marie-louis-eta-union-berlin-something-special-quotes-latest/article70862338.ece" target="_blank">Kompany hails Marie-Louise Eta’s appointment as ‘something special’</a></b></p><p>Asked if she had any hesitation when getting the job offer last week, Eta added: “There was nothing to consider.

The WNBA has officially announced the players who will start the 2026 All-Star Game.
The final list includes four guards: Kelsey Mitchell (Indiana Fever), Caitlin Clark (Fever), Paige Bueckers (Dallas Wings), and Olivia Miles (Minnesota Lynx)
Plus, six frontcourt players: A’ja Wilson (Las Vegas Aces), Aliyah Boston (Fever), Breanna Stewart (New York Liberty), Jessica Shepard (Wings), Gabby Williams (Golden State Valkyries, and Natasha Howard (Lynx)
Starters for the All-Star game are determined using a weighted system in which fan votes account for 50%, current players for 25%, and a media panel for 25%. Ballots featured four guards and six frontcourt players.
In the final fan voting results, released last week, the top 10 vote-getters were as follows:
- Aliyah Boston – 683,996 votes
- Caitlin Clark – 670,510 votes
- A’ja Wilson – 659,057 votes
- Paige Bueckers – 640,026 votes
- Breanna Stewart – 566,161 votes
- Jessica Shepard – 477,066 votes
- Angel Reese – 470,748 votes
- Gabby Williams – 451,450 votes
- Kelsey Mitchell – 434,471 votes
- Olivia Miles – 397,080 votes
A breakdown in player and fan voting has yet to be released.
After the 10 starters are determined, the league’s 15 head coaches select 12 reserves (three guards, five frontcourt players, and four of any position). They are not able to select players from their own team.
As one of the official media voters, here was my ballot.
The Atlanta Dream are snubbed in the official results
The Atlanta Dream were the only Top 7 team in the standings not to have any All-Star starters. Allisha Gray, Rhyne Howard, and Angel Reese were all viable candidates to start in the All-Star game, and all three should be named reserves. Reese was the only top 10 vote-getter among fans to not be named an All-Star starter.
The Indiana Fever (11-8) were the only team to have three All-Star starters, while the Dallas Wings (11-8) and Minnesota Lynx (15-4) were each awarded two selections. The Aces, Valkyries, and Liberty each received one selection.

#WNBA #AllStar #starters #named #team #snubbedArchery world champion Mariana Bernal of Mexico was banned for three years, the International Testing Agency said on Thursday, after testing positive for an anabolic steroid three weeks after winning a team gold medal against the U.S.
The 23-year-old Bernal did not challenge the doping offence and is banned until after the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. She also was stripped of her 2025 World Cup Finals title.
The ITA said she had one year cut from a routine four-year ban “due to her early admission” of the doping.
Bernal tested positive for nandrolone in an out-of-competition test in September last year, the agency said.
Three weeks earlier she helped Mexico beat the U.S. in the final to win gold in the women’s team compound event at the World Championships held in Gwangju, South Korea.
The ITA said Bernal is stripped of her results from the date of the sample. She keeps her world title but loses the World Cup Finals win from last October, when she had beaten teammate and individual world champion Andrea Becerra in Nanjing, China.

Jun 27, 2026; Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA; Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Michael Lorenzen (24) delivers a pitch to Minnesota Twins third baseman Brooks Lee (22) in the second inning at Target Field. Mandatory Credit: Matt Blewett-Imagn Images Mickey Moniak is beginning to perform like a No. 1 overall draft pick again.
Moniak will try to keep his latest hot streak going for the Colorado Rockies when they oppose the Miami Marlins in the finale of a four-game series on Thursday afternoon in Denver.
Moniak came within a single of hitting for the cycle in the Rockies’ 6-3 win against the Marlins on Wednesday. The first pick in the 2016 draft also homered in Colorado’s 14-3 loss to Miami on Tuesday.
“He was a first overall (pick) for a reason, so it’s never been a thing of talent,” Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said of Moniak following the Wednesday game. “Guys take a circuitous route to find a place that they settle into in a part of their career. It seems like he’s found a place here in Denver that he’s comfortable in, and certainly swings the bat very well in this ballpark, and he was a big factor for them (Wednesday) evening.”
The Marlins fell on the first day of July after finishing June with a 20-6 record, the best mark in the majors and the best month in their history (.769). It was only the second time in franchise annals that Miami won at least 20 games in a month, following a 21-8 ledger in May 2012.
Miami starter Max Meyer came into the Wednesday game with a shiny 9-0 record, but with one out in the first, Moniak hit the second pitch he saw from Meyer over the fence for a 1-0 lead.
“Staying on a fastball, drove it out to left-center,” Moniak said. “When I’m doing that, things are usually feeling pretty good.”
McCullough would like to see a better approach at the plate from his hitters in the series finale. Miami struck out 11 times on Wednesday, with Esteury Ruiz (four), Kyle Stowers (three) and Owen Caissie (two) accounting for nine.
McCullough did witness something he’d never seen before: a pinch-hit inside-the-park homer. Joe Mack circled the bases after his long fly ball took an odd bounce off the center field wall in the seventh inning.
“I didn’t have Joe Mack doing that on my bingo card,” McCullough said. “This ballpark’s crazy.”
Colorado plans to send veteran right-hander Michael Lorenzen to the mound in hopes of splitting the series after dropping the first two.
Lorenzen (3-9, 6.83 ERA) showed signs of rebounding from a difficult stretch in which he went 10 straight starts without a victory and lost seven times. He ended the skid on Saturday when he allowed two runs and seven hits in 5 2/3 innings during an 8-5 victory against the Minnesota Twins. It was his first win since April 24.
“He pounded the zone. He got ahead. He didn’t try to do too much,” Colorado manager Warren Schaeffer said. “He was efficient with his pitches. He threw his sinker a ton and got some quick outs. Didn’t hunt the punchout, which was great. I thought Mike was very, very good.”
Lorenzen faced the Marlins in the second game of the season and went 4 1/3 innings in a no-decision at Miami. He allowed three runs and seven hits.
Lorenzen has had decent success against the Marlins in his career overall, going 4-2 with a 2.62 ERA in 18 appearances, including seven starts.
Following the Wednesday game, McCullough named Ryan Gusto as his starting pitcher for Thursday.
Gusto (0-2, 5.06 ERA) tossed 3 1/3 shutout innings in his latest outing, on Saturday in a no-decision against the host St. Louis Cardinals. That came after a similar performance on June 21, when the right-hander limited the San Francisco Giants to one run and three hits in 4 1/3 innings. Miami won both games.
Gusto has never faced the Rockies in his two-year major league career.
