Porsche takes Formula E team and manufacturer titles
Porsche won the team and manufacturer titles as the all-electric Formula E championship wrapped up its season in London on Sunday.
Nissan's Oliver Rowland had already won the drivers' crown with two races to spare. The Briton retired from Sunday's race after a crash.
New Zealand's Nick Cassidy won both races at the ExCel centre on Saturday and Sunday as he said farewell to Jaguar with second place overall in the championship. Sunday's victory was a fifth in six races for Jaguar.
Cassidy beat Mahindra's Nyck de Vries by 13.5 seconds with Sebastien Buemi third for Envision after Jaguar's Mitch Evans finished second on the road but was then handed a five second penalty and dropped to fifth.
The race was the last for Jaguar team principal James Barclay, who is moving to head McLaren's world endurance hypercar team, and also for the McLaren Formula E team. REUTERS

England women return home to heroes' welcome after Euro 2025 win
Find out what's new on ST website and app. LONDON - The England women's soccer team have returned home on Monday to a heroes' welcome following their Euro 2025 triumph, with government ministers hosting a reception to mark a victory hailed as an inspiration for young people across the nation. Striker Chloe Kelly fired in the decisive spot-kick as England beat Spain 3-1 in a penalty shootout in Basel on Sunday to win the European Championship, successfully defending the title they won on home soil three years ago. The team landed at London's Southend Airport on Monday afternoon aboard a plane featuring the England badge, a red Nike logo, and the word 'Home' on its side, a reference to the iconic soccer anthem 'Three Lions' which contains the lyric 'it's coming home.' "Our Lionesses are absolute champions and they proved that again last night," said Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner, who will host the reception at Downing Street. "Not only are they bringing it home for England again, but they're inspiring the next generation of champions too." Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who will not attend the reception as he is in Scotland to meet U.S. President Donald Trump, called the team's victory an inspiration for the country's youth. Sports Minister Stephanie Peacock, who will be at the Downing Street reception, said England's win "builds brilliantly on the momentum we're creating in women's sport". The team, which returned from Switzerland, will be welcomed at Starmer's official residence in London this evening, joined by ministers and Football Association (FA) representatives. Despite the FA's request for fans to stay away from the airport due to limited space, hundreds - particularly young supporters - turned up anyway, lining the streets and waving England flags. Some of the fans held signs reading 'Heroes' and 'Well done girls', cheering loudly as the players emerged from the airport terminal. A homecoming event will take place in central London on Tuesday, featuring live music and big screens showing tournament highlights. In a video shared on social media on Monday morning, players were seen arriving at their post-match party, celebrating with a glass of wine as cheers erupted around them. "I am so proud of this team. So grateful to wear this badge. So proud to be English," Kelly said. England captain Leah Williamson said she was in total disbelief - yet deep down, she always knew they would bring the trophy home. "Playing for this England team is unbelievable," Williamson said. "You cannot put us down." REUTERS

Dare to dream, urges Singapore's first International Swimming Hall of Famer Joseph Schooling
Find out what's new on ST website and app. Singapore's Joseph Schooling being inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame by former Australia swimmer Cate Campbell. SINGAPORE – Dare to go after your dreams, even if it seems impossible. That was the message from Joseph Schooling, who became the first Singaporean to be inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame on July 28, joining a list of illustrious athletes that includes 23-gold Olympian Michael Phelps and Chinese diver Fu Mingxia. The 30-year-old cited his own journey as an example. No Singaporean had struck Olympic gold, until he upstaged the world's greatest swimmer and his idol Phelps to win the men's 100m butterfly at Rio 2016. Schooling, who retired in April 2024 after having also won two world championships bronze medals, three Asian Games and 29 SEA Games golds, said at the induction ceremony at Parkroyal Collection Marina Bay: 'I'm extremely humbled and honoured to be able to stand up here today to collect this award. 'At the end of the day, it's about the journey. And there were times where I didn't see the light at the end of the tunnel. I didn't know if I was going to succeed. 'Being up here is a real surreal moment, but I hope this goes to show that anyone can do it. It doesn't matter what country you are from or what you do, but if you have a dream, dare to dream and get after it.' In all, there were 11 inductees from nine countries, with Kuwait, India, Tunisia and Singapore represented for the first time. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.
