    Elliot Constable has been crowned the winner of Race Around the World, bringing to an end 100 days on the road.

    Unlike previous weeks, contestants on the ABC iview series were able to select their own destination for the reboot's finale.

    Topping the leaderboard of six filmmakers, Constable has won the crown and funding to produce his own project for the ABC.

    What's it about? In Brazil's largest favela, one father is determined to change the direction of his son's future.

    What's it about? On the Mongolian steppe, certain days are the best for change. Not because change happens that day, but because it's the best time to stop and recognise that it already has.

    After making 10 films in 10 countries in 100 days, Elliot has been announced the winner of the rebooted Race Around The World.

    Elliot’s final film, shot in Brazil, secured him the victory. But the video content producer from New South Wales – who beat out Jayden, Lucinda, Kate, Mikaela and William – tells TV WEEK that even though he made the choice to go to Brazil, he had moments when he doubted himself.

    Race Around the World: grand final

    Sunday marks the Race Around the World finale and all the Racers are back together in studio to hear who won the week.

    Host Zan Rowe is joined by resident judge John Safran, original 1997 Race Around The World winner and Australian Story producer Olivia Rousset, legendary film critic Margaret Pomeranz and AACTA award winning filmmaker Danny Philippou.

    One filmmaker will claim the ultimate prize of filming a project for the ABC.

    Really enjoyed the show, but I am certain the voting by the judges is manipulated so it is close and comes down to the final episode. I understand personal preference but they clearly often don’t vote for the best films in order to keep the top few close in the vote tallies.

    MotoGP race winner and Moto2 frontrunner favourite for Ducati WorldSBK ride

    Nicolo Bulega’s space at the factory Ducati WorldSBK team seems to have two candidates at the top of the list

    MotoGP race winner Franco Morbidelli and Moto2 frontrunner Manu Gonzalez have emerged as the favourites to replace Nicolo Bulega at Ducati’s World Superbike team.

    Nicolo Bulega has utterly dominated WorldSBK this season, winning all but one race as he nears his first title in the series.

    Though at one stage looking like he was set to miss out, Bulega – who has also been testing Ducati’s 850cc MotoGP bike – is now poised to move to the grand prix paddock in 2027 with Valentino Rossi’s VR46 squad.

    Live: Re-race ordered after Aussie caught up in scary wheelchair crash

    The women's T54 1,500m final has been ordered to be re-raced after a horror crash knocked two athletes out of the running.

    The Australian women's team pursuit squad rode their way into the gold medal match against New Zealand as the cycling gets underway in the velodrome on day seven of the Commonwealth Games.

    However, the men's team sprint won't face former teammate Matthew Richardson, who controversially defected to England, after he was ruled out by injury.

    On the track, Jess Hull will start her campaign in the mile heats alongside Abbey Caldwell and Claudia Hollingsworth.

    Australian Tara Neyland has raced into the gold medal final, with a factored time of 4:45.796 for the 4,000m.

    A strong start to the first qualifier in the one mile race! Abbey Caldwell and Jessica Hull both finished in the top four to make their way through.

    Hull came in second, Caldwell third. Both pretty relaxed and comfortably through.

    Claudia Hollingsworth joins them in the final in the second heat. Three Aussies and three Kenyans make it through.

    Great run! Michelle Jenneke comes in third to book her spot in the 100m hurdles final.

    All eyes will be on that event later on day eight.

    Aussie javelin thrower Cam McEntyre has made it through to the finals in Glasgow, with a best throw of 78.91m.

    Twenty-five Aussies are pulling on the green and gold for track and Para track cycling at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland.

    Growing up in a cycling-obsessed family, McCaig has ascended quickly through the junior ranks, debuting at the Commonwealth Games in 2022 as the youngest cyclist on the Australian team. She heads to Glasgow as Australia’s reigning national champion in the sprint and keirin.

    Kristina Clonan is one of Australia's leading track sprinters and a reigning Commonwealth Games gold medallist. Originally an endurance rider, Clonan switched to sprinting after missing selection for the Tokyo Olympic Games. The move was transformative, with Clonan going on to win multiple national sprint titles and gold at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, breaking the Games record in the 500m time trial previously held by Anna Meares. After missing much of the 2025 season through injury, Clonan heads to Glasgow determined to defend her title.

    The race to find routes around the Strait of Hormuz and which nation is winning

    Oil-exporting nations are future-proofing themselves amid uncertainty around the Strait of Hormuz. (Reuters)

    Gulf nations are scrambling for ways to bypass the Strait of Hormuz, with plans for more pipelines and a new port.

    Analysts say existing infrastructure has helped cushion the global oil market from even greater price spikes during the US-Iran war.

    Iran has reportedly put their proxies in Yemen, the Houthis, on notice to block another crucial shipping route.

    The Strait of Hormuz is closed again, tankers are being attacked, the Gulf's oil and gas exports are threatened, and chaos remains the new norm.

    But for months, countries and companies have been finding ways to bypass the choke point, and are now making plans to future-proof themselves from even more disruption with new pipelines and a potential new port.

    Dubai plans new port to bypass Strait of Hormuz

    Dubai/London | DP World is planning to build a new port and a container terminal on the United Arab Emirates’ east coast that would reduce Dubai’s dependence on its flagship Jebel Ali hub and bypass the Strait of Hormuz.

    The Dubai-based port operator is in talks to develop a new multipurpose port in the coastal area of Fujairah and a new terminal at the existing harbour in the same emirate, people familiar with the matter said.

    Oil pipelines around the Strait of Hormuz won't end the threat Iran poses to Middle East crude exports

    Middle East oil producers plan to build new pipelines to reduce their dependence on the Strait of Hormuz, as Iran disrupts the Gulf states' seaborne crude exports with near daily attacks on tankers.

    But new pipelines will not end the threat to the region's energy exports, analysts said. This infrastructure is just as vulnerable to the low-cost, asymmetric attacks that have targeted ships in Hormuz, they said.

    The U.S. is supporting Iraq's effort to rebuild a crude oil pipeline that runs from its northern city of Kirkuk through Syria to the Mediterranean Sea, a State Department official told CNBC Thursday. U.S. companies are expected to play a role in the pipeline's construction, the official said.

    Coco Gauff beats race against curfew clock with late-night victory against Bencic

    Coco Gauff’s dream of winning a first Wimbledon title is still alive after a hard-fought, race against time victory over Switzerland’s Belinda Bencic. After the latest start in Wimbledon history, at 8.40pm, the American dropped the first set but fought back to clinch a 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 win, finishing just two minutes before the 11pm curfew.

    Gauff hit nine double faults, including five in one game in the first set, but the quality of ball-striking was immense and the No 7 seed held her nerve to get the job done and reach the quarter-finals for the first time. The 22-year-old will now play another American, Jessica Pegula, for a place in the semis.

    Quarterfinals at last! Gauff edges Bencic to break new ground at Wimbledon

    Coco Gauff secures her first Wimbledon quarterfinal after a thrilling comeback win against Belinda Bencic. Despite being 0-3 in fourth rounds and 0-6 in sets previously, Gauff fought back to win 4-6, 6-3, 6-4. She faces Jessica Pegula next for a shot at her first-ever semifinal at the grass-court major.

    Fourth time's the charm! In her fourth appearance in the fourth round at Wimbledon, Coco Gauff broke through to a first-ever quarterfinal with a 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 comeback over Belinda Bencic.

    Gauff was not only 0-3 previously in fourth rounds at Wimbledon — she was also 0-6 in sets in those matches. And, over the first 50 minutes, that set record extended to 0-7 as she lost a 3-0 lead in the opener on No. 1 Court.

    ‘Not about race’: Winmar statue removed two days after assault conviction

    The statue of former AFL player Neil Elvis "Nicky" Winmar has been taken down at Perth Stadium less than two days after a Victorian court found him guilty of assaulting a woman.

    The bronze statue was unveiled in July 2019, in the lead-up to NAIDOC Week and as a symbol against racism in the AFL — seven years later, it was removed on the first day of NAIDOC Week.

    The bronze statue was taken down by a crane, and a crew of roughly six people around 6:45am on Sunday local time after WA Premier Roger Cook ordered its removal on Friday.

    Nicky Winmar’s statue removed from Optus Stadium after assault conviction

    Nicky Winmar’s statue has been removed from out the front of Perth’s Optus Stadium days after the disgraced AFL great was found guilty of assaulting a woman in northern Victoria last year.

    Winmar – who played 230 games at St Kilda and 21 for the Western Bulldogs after beginning his football career at South Fremantle in the WAFL – had argued the woman lied about the attack, but a magistrate disagreed and convicted him of three charges.

    The 60-year-old was accused of dragging the woman by her hair, pushing her into a wall, spitting and yelling at her, and smashing her head repeatedly against a door at a property in Cohuna in May 2025.

    Almost 70,000 reported missing in ‘race against the clock’ after Venezuela earthquakes

    La Guaira: Tensions flared on Saturday as desperation grew among anguished residents of the Venezuelan state of La Guaira, where rescuers and civilians searched for earthquake survivors amid a sharply rising death toll.

    Venezuela’s government said the number of people killed rose to 1430 on Saturday, local time (Sunday AEST) and families reported at least 68,900 people missing, three days after the one-two punch of 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes that devastated the South American nation.

    Venezuelans looking for loved ones and neighbours used shovels, heavy equipment, ropes and bare hands atop mounds of toppled concrete throughout La Guaira, one of the country’s hardest-hit states.

    Venezuela earthquakes: death toll rises again to more than 1,400

    Search for survivors continues with nearly 70,000 people reported unaccounted for by their family members

    The ⁠death toll ⁠in ⁠the twin ​earthquakes that struck ⁠Venezuela earlier ⁠this ​week ‌has ‌risen to ‌1,430, according to one of the country’s top politicians Jorge Rodríguez.

    Another 3,200 ​people were injured ⁠and 3,100 ​left homeless ​by the ​disaster, ​the National Assembly president added, speaking ​on ​state television.

    Rescuers are still searching for survivors after the 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude quakes struck within a minute of each other on Wednesday evening, flattening buildings in the north of the country. At least 68,900 people have been reported unaccounted for by their families.

    Race 17 starting grid: 2026 betr Darwin Triple Crown

    Brodie Kostecki has rebounded from a tough start to Friday to claim his fourth pole position of 2026.

    Kostecki will share the front row with Anton De Pasquale for the opening race of the weekend, which shapes as a big chance for Kostecki and Matt Payne to chip into Broc Feeney's championship lead.

    Feeney, who is 90 points ahead of Payne and 173 points clear of Kostecki, will start back in 13th. Payne qualified third, and will start directly behind Kostecki.

    Race 17 will commence at 5:00pm local/5:30pm AEST. Fox Sports, Kayo Sports, and Sky NZ take live coverage. International fans can watch on SuperView.

    Cam Waters believes things are finally clicking for him after claiming his first Supercars win of the year by clinching the first race of the Darwin Triple Crown.

    After starting fourth in Friday's 35-lap, 100km sprint race, the Tickford Racing Driver won by 0.448 seconds at Hidden Valley Raceway in unusually cool and overcast conditions. 

    Victory ends a long victory drought for Waters, who hadn't won since February 2025 and had only enjoyed two podium finishes this season leading into Friday's race.

    Feeney dethroned in Darwin qualifying shock

    THE king of Darwin has been dethroned, with Broc Feeney bowing out early in a Friday qualifying surprise.

    Feeney had taken the previous four Supercars pole positions at Hidden Valley but was unable to even make it through the first segment today.

    The #88 Red Bull Ampol Mustang was sat 11th on the leaderboard as it approached the chequered flag, and was unable to pull a rabbit out of the hat.

    Teammate Will Brown and Kai Allen did subsequently go faster to push Feeney down to 13th on the grid.

    It leaves the championship leader with a huge mountain to climb if he is to add to his streak of five straight race wins in Darwin.
