Matar Diop won bronze in the under-66 kg category on Sunday 1 November in Diamniadio, at the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games, the first Olympic event ever held in Africa. According to Le Soleil, it is the first medal credited to Senegal in the history of these Games: a Senegalese judoka's 2010 silver came in a mixed team event, and those medals do not count for any country.
The 17-year-old won the 200m backstroke at the Youth Olympic Games on Sunday 1 November in 2:10.05, more than five seconds clear of second place. It is a senior South American record and Argentine swimming's first gold at these Games, which are for young athletes, not the senior Olympics.
Carlos Alcaraz beat Alex de Minaur 6-1, 6-4 in 97 minutes in the Vienna final on Sunday 1 November. It is the 28th title of his career and takes him past David Ferrer (27): in the Open Era only Rafael Nadal and Manuel Orantes have won more among Spanish men.
