Bahrain stay unbeaten after pulling away late vs Malaysia
TDT | Manama Third straight win for the Kingdom in the William Jones Cup Bahrain continued their unbeaten run at the 44th William Jones Cup with an 81–69 win over Malaysia on Monday morning in New Taipei City, improving their record to 3–0. The result follows back-to-back wins over Japan U25 (85–69) and hosts Chinese Taipei White (71–63). After a tight first half in which Bahrain trailed by three late in the second quarter, a 25-point third period shifted momentum decisively. Mustafa Rashed led Bahrain's scoresheet with 23 points on 7-of-12 shooting, including five threes, while Jakarr Sampson added 22 points and 7 rebounds. Quarter-by-Quarter Malaysia opened with a close first half, staying within striking distance. They trailed just 15–13 after the opening quarter and briefly took the lead before Bahrain responded. The sides went into the break with Bahrain narrowly ahead, 35–38. The third quarter, however, saw Bahrain turn the screws defensively, holding Malaysia to just 10 points while pouring in 25 of their own behind key buckets from Sampson and Ahmed Bindayneh. Despite a 21-point fourth-quarter effort from Malaysia, Bahrain closed the game out comfortably. Standouts and stats Beyond Rashed and Sampson, Subah Azzam had a solid outing with 8 points and 2 threes in just 20 minutes. Devon Chism contributed 8 points and 11 rebounds, while Ali Rashed provided playmaking off the bench with 4 assists and efficient minutes. Defensively, Bahrain held Malaysia to 38.8% shooting, including just 24.1% from three, and dominated the glass with 43 total rebounds. Bahrain's 22 team assists reflected strong ball movement and rhythm in halfcourt sets. Malaysia were led by Yi Hou Wong, who scored 27 points, but received little support, with only Chun Hong Ting (18 points) also reaching double figures. What's next? Bahrain's next opponent is Australia United tomorrow at 8AM, followed by matchups against the UAE, Qatar B, Chinese Taipei, and Strong Group Athletics across a packed week.

Gen X Man Shares What His Midlife Looks Like: 'Investment'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. When people think about turning 50, they might associate it with slowing down and taking more time for themselves. But not Mustafa Rashed, who is transforming how people view midlife fitness after investing in his health. Fitness has always been important for Rashed, who has spent years taking care of his body and staying in shape. But the Generation Xer (people born between 1965 and 1980) doesn't plan on slowing down now, as he works out for two to three hours, seven days a week. In fact, 50-year-old Rashed, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, thinks his health is even better than when he was half his age, but he told Newsweek that it's still just "a work in progress." He mixes his daily workouts between strength training, cycling, running, yoga, and surfing. And if that wasn't enough, last year he also started ensuring he hits 10,000 steps every day to boost his fitness. Mustafa Rashed, 50, running and surfing as part of his regular fitness regime.

"I'm up every day by 4 a.m. and move a little before work while getting ready for my day. I do the hard stuff first and it gives me the energy and confidence to tackle the rest of my day. Early wins create great momentum for the day. "My philosophy is that as you age, you're going to be stiff from movement or stiff from not moving. So, you might as well have the benefit of movement." Fueling his body with nutrition has also become an important element to Rashed's wellbeing. He explained that he limits his sugar intake, opts for food in its "natural form," and tries to eat as many whole foods as possible. "Food is fuel, and I am very conscious of only putting the best fuel in my engine," he said. Of course, staying on top of his health requires plenty of dedication. But Rashed doesn't see himself as motivated, but rather, disciplined. While motivation can come and go, discipline remains with him and it allows him to "lay the foundation" for the lifestyle he wants when he's sixty, seventy, and beyond. If he remains consistent, he sees no reason why he can't maintain this active lifestyle well into his senior years. "I want a full, present, quality life, and to live independently without assistance to be able to physically participate in raising my children and be with my grandchildren. I also want my boys to know that through consistency and discipline, they can accomplish anything they set their minds to," Rashed told Newsweek. As he gets older, Rashed does face additional challenges, such as a longer warm-up routine and recovery period. But he doesn't let that deter him from his goals, as he says that "movement is the investment." Age is just a number after all, and Rashed doesn't see it as a barrier to being in top physical condition. He continued: "It's a way to prove to yourself that anything is possible. The feeling of being able to push your body past its limits will give you the confidence to do amazing things in all the other areas in your life." Rashed often shares videos on Instagram (@mustafalrashed) to showcase his steadfast workout routine and the progress he continues to make. In April, he shared a video of his active lifestyle and highlighted that "aging is inevitable," but that doesn't have to mean being unhealthy. The clip has gone viral with more than 6.3 million views and 352,000 likes on Instagram at the time of writing. The online response to the video is beyond anything Rashed imagined, and he hopes to encourage many other people to invest in their health now for their later years. Whether they're just starting or getting back into a fitness routine, it's never too late. It's not about secret hacks or gimmicks to stay fit—it's just about commitment. Rashed said: "You have to commit to the same boring, effective routines every day. Boring is good and it delivers the best results over time." Social media users have hailed Rashed for his motivational perspective, leading to more than 3,400 comments on the viral Instagram post so far. One comment reads: "True definition of HEALTH IS WEALTH!" Another person said: "Thank you for that reminder!" While another Instagram user wrote: "Exercise: Fountain of Youth."
