Install the TJR Wrestling web app for instant access to the very latest news and reviews Cody Rhodes is on his way back to WWE television Cody Rhodes suffered the most high-profile and perhaps most crushing defeat of his career Rhodes walked into the main event as the Undisputed WWE Champion, but he walked out with an unwanted piece of history. Rhodes will now forever be remembered as the man who John Cena pinned to become World Champion for a record 17th time Rhodes appeared to be closing on victory until Travis Scott made his presence felt Although the American Nightmare managed to hit Scott with a Cross Rhodes the Hip Hop star later pulled the referee out of the ring as the champion looked to retain his title Rhodes’ desire to do the right thing proved to be his downfall as he refused to hit Cena with the title belt This allowed Cena to land a low blow and his own shot with the belt to snatch the win Rhodes was last seen heading back to his tour bus with wife Brandi after turning down a backstage interview Cody Rhodes hasn’t appeared on WWE TV since that defeat to Cena but it seems a comeback isn’t too far away The American Nightmare is now being advertised for SmackDown on May 16, the first episode of the show after Backlash six days earlier. On WWE’s website Rhodes is the only Superstar on the graphic while he’s also listed as a “featured Superstar” for the taping Rhodes has been spotted out and about spending his well-earned break with his family John Cena will defend the Undisputed WWE Title against Randy Orton Drew McIntyre has fond memories of one particular title match Dakota Kai has broken her silence after being released by WWE on 2nd May A former WWE Superstar has slammed the company following the recent wave of releases Rey Mysterio has helped usher in the dawn of a new AAA era It looks like one released WWE star is calling time on their wrestling career altogether as they are now expected to retire After the latest round of cuts to the WWE roster it seems that one talent was let go due to reasons outside the ring that had them pulled from TV "Timeless" Toni Storm delivered a rousing speech on AEW Collision celebrating her adoring public WWE Hall of Famer JBL has recalled how The Big Show and The Great Khali once got into a "shoot fight" backstage Best in Travel is here! Discover 2025’s destinations The 30 best countries, cities and regions to visit in 2025 Plan your trip with Elsewhere, by Lonely Planet See where a Lonely Planet Membership takes you Subscribe to our weekly newsletters to get the latest travel news, expert advice, and insider recommendations Explore the world with our detailed, insightful guidebooks Stay ahead of the curve with our guidebooks Uncover exciting new ways to explore iconic destinations Every month, we release new books into the wild Search Search Close search menu Explore Best in Travel 2024 Africa Close menu Countries Antarctica Antarctica Close menu Regions Asia Asia Close menu Countries Australia & the Pacific Australia & the Pacific Close menu Countries The Caribbean The Caribbean Close menu Countries Central America Central America Close menu Countries Europe Europe Close menu Countries Middle East Middle East Close menu Countries North America North America Close menu Countries South America South America Close menu Countries The Temple of Athena Lindia in the Acropolis of Lindos The largest island of the Dodecanese, Rhodes is a perfect place to start any island-hopping adventure, whatever your interest. Get lost in the riot of medieval alleyways and the fortified (and UNESCO World Heritage Site) of Rhodes Old Town For lesser-known experiences (and fewer people) explore the island’s vineyard region and itʻs wineries devour local cuisine in one of Rhodes’ more remote inland settlements and wander through Italian-style villages and their extraordinary past Rhodes is “open for business” between April and September as the administrative center for the Dodecanese and a gateway to other islands Rhodes Town (particularly New Town) operates year-round crowds and numerous religious celebrations which is also perfect because the ocean remains warm enough for swimming While youʻd leave happy after a week in Rhodes many visitors stop here for one or two days only as part of an island-hopping expedition stick to Rhodes Old Town and its captivating sites Allow another two days to explore some of the island: venture inland visit the wineries or plunge into the superb seas off of one of the island’s many beaches There are two ways to arrive in Rhodes. The first, Diagoras Airport is well-connected with other major Greek cities and islands A handy local bus connects the airport and Rhodes Old Town The second is by ferry; services connect Rhodes with many islands The island is serviced by two local bus companies – KTEL (for the east coast) and RODA (for the west coast) Visitors traveling on a tight schedule may need to consider taxis and car hire The Old Town’s east corner, a group of narrow alleys, makes up the Jewish Quarter most of its inhabitants were killed during WWII located just beyond the walls of the Old Town so mingling here over a traditional dish or three is particularly fun named after the four pomegranates filling the pretty outdoor courtyard The local cuisine will catch your eye and taste buds – popular and traditional Greek dishes as well as a few of the familyʻs creations roasted sesame and Greek talagani cheese before selecting from a varied range of mezedes (share plates) that include the local specialty kleftiko stew (slow-cooked lamb baked in a clay pot) and baked aubergine (eggplant) rolls The word is out about this place (it gets busy) Planning tip: 4 Rodies doesn't have a website. This is very much a word-of-mouth restaurant. If you need directions, you'll find them here Eleousa – a replica of a village in the Italian Alps – was one of four constructed on the island under the orders of Italian Fascist leader Benito Mussolini who Italianized many villages around the Dodecanese you’re guaranteed to sense the ghosts of laborers – Italian lumberjacks – along with tuberculosis patients of the former Sanitarium that operated after WWII Continue west another 5km (3.1 miles) to Saint Nikolaos Fountoukli lush gardens takes you into a historical realm;  its sheer scale puts a human being in literal perspective leading to the realization that this follows in the spectral footsteps of previous invaders – Romans For a comfortable stay in decent accommodations (in the New Town; prices in the Old Town are double) dining in mid-range tavernas plus an activity or two budget roughly €200 to €400 (US$217 to US$433) per day or items valued by travelers (and not necessarily by Greeks) can be at least be priced the same as in a European city great value-for-money meals and local produce make up for this ·         Hostel room in Rhodes: from €46 (US$50) ·         Basic/moderate room for two €56 to €140 (US$60 to US$150) ·         Self-catering apartment (including Airbnb) €93 and above (US$100 and above) ·         Public transport ticket €2 to €5.20 (US$2.20 to US$5.65) ·         Coffee €3 to €5 (US$5.25 to US$5.40) ·         Gyros €3 to €4 (US$3.25 to US$5.50) ·         Dinner for two at a village taverna from €20 (US$22) ·         Beer/pint at the bar €5 (US$5.40) ·         Pitaroudia (savory fritters) €6 (US$6.50) ·         Melekouni (sweet) €1 (US$) Unlike many of the other islands, tap water on Rhodes is considered safe to drink, though bottled water is available throughout (and often favored by the locals, too). Plastic waste on the islands is an issue, however, so consider bringing a filtration kit. As in the rest of Greece, water is a precious commodity that’s put under enormous pressure during high season in particular. Formerly called the tourist or accommodation tax, a so-called green tax exists in Rhodes (indeed, throughout Greece). Factor roughly €1.50 to €15 per person per night on a sliding scale, depending on the star rating of your hotel. Apple Pay is popular and cards are king; shops and services are equipped with POS (point of sale). That said, always keep cash and coins for small purchases at markets and villages, and for public transport and tips. (On that note: Greeks generally round up, for say, coffee and a snack, or leave a few euros for a mid-priced meal; unlike the US there’s no strict percentage calculated). Taxis cover many of the main sites and beaches. Prices are displayed outside the main taxi rank outside the Old Town. Soon-to-be graduate Sam Crowe looks forward to continuing his research at Oxford University in the fall When Samuel Crowe looks back on his undergraduate career at the University of Virginia he can proudly point to making history as the first undergraduate granted access to NASA’s $10 billion James Webb Telescope for his research publishing major research findings in world-renowned journals and leading the astronomy and forestry clubs the astronomy-physics and history major is focused on what’s next: a 2-year master’s degree in the history of science medicine and technology at Oxford University starting in the fall he’s embracing a hobby he picked up at UVA: travel He spent two of his undergraduate summers abroad Crowe and the UVA Astronomy Club gather at the Green Bank Observatory in West Virginia Crowe’s journey through the Eastern Hemisphere will punctuate a busy undergraduate career Crowe became the world’s first undergraduate student to lead a James Webb Space Telescope General Observer project From the data gathered using the telescope he published two papers in The Astrophysical Journal One of the papers examines star formation in Sagittarius C, a region in the heart of the Milky Way where many stars are actively being born. The paper confirmed at least two massive stars – each more than 20 times the Sun’s mass – forming in this region. “We also discovered a new star-forming region, previously unknown in the literature, adjacent to the one we’d already known about,” he said. Most of Crowe’s work so far has involved observational astronomy research, using telescopes and analyzing their data, but for his senior thesis project, he’s shifted to more theoretical work, running astrophysical simulations. “We model the sort of environments we observe with telescopes,” he said, “so we can better understand the physical processes at play. In this case, it’s a young star producing ionizing radiation, the same light rays that can cause skin cancer, in an environment similar to Sagittarius C.” Crowe has been an undergraduate researcher since his first spring semester, when astronomy professor Jonathan Tan gave a research talk in one of his introductory classes. Crowe approached him afterward to ask about opportunities to work with him. “I asked him a lot of questions during his talk, which I think made a good impression, and introduced myself after. All the rest of my research has sprung from that simple introduction, and putting myself out there,” he said. Crowe is the 57th Rhodes Scholar in the history of UVA, which produces the most Rhodes Scholars of any American public university. After graduating from Oxford, Crowe will pursue a doctorate in astrophysics at the California Institute of Technology. Crowe visits the IRAM 30-meter radio telescope in the Sierra Nevada mountains in Spain (Photo by Alejandro Romar) As a UVA student, Crowe was an Echols Scholar and recipient of a full-tuition University Achievement Award, which he said gave him “the academic and financial freedom to fully pursue [his] academic interests.” He’s following in the footsteps of two older brothers and his mother, all of whom attended UVA. “I didn’t even visit after being admitted,” he said. “I was that certain it was the place for me.” Originally from Chesapeake, Crowe said he is grateful for two high school teachers who nurtured his interests in history and physics. He knew from his first high school physics class that he wanted to pursue astrophysics, and a class on the Roman republic and empire with history professor Jon Lendon in the spring of his first year at UVA sold him on a second major. “And from there, the rest was history,” he said. Outside of academics, he’s been heavily involved in the leadership of the Astronomy Club, of which he served as treasurer, vice president, and president during his first three years. He’s currently vice president of the Forestry Club, which provides service to local city parks around Albemarle County and Virginia state parks. Crowe also joined the Culture of Respect Educators, a peer education group focusing on sexual assault prevention and education, after attending one of their talks in his dorm during Wahoo Welcome. He is also a member of the Raven Society. Most days before Final Exercises, he can be found in the lab, which, for him, means sitting in the astronomy undergraduate student lounge on his laptop, working with data.

work to do on Sunday if she is to challenge English leader Mimi Rhodes for the Ford Women’s NSW Open title Sitting on 12-under and threeshots back of Rhodes’ 15-undertournament total with Italian Alessandra Fanali in second alone on 14-under it was a steady if not spectacular day for Rudgeley The West Australian now sitting in tied thirdon what is a veritable United Nations leaderboard at the Ladies European Tour and WPGA Tour of Australasia co-sanctioned event at Wollongong Golf Club The stronger winds Rudgeley was again begging for on the first tee did arrive but after her “little punch 5-iron”just missed finding the hole at the long par-3 third highlights were hard to come by during a third round 3-under 68 I've still got the golf ball around the golf course and a decent “The wind was a little bit trickier today … But I'm in a good position and we'll see what tomorrow brings but then again I holed a few good putts that are safe pars We'll do a little bit of practise now actually and then we'll get back out tomorrow,” she added noting it would be her first post round practice of the week and number of players sandwiched between her and top spot Rudgeley will no doubt still like her chances with a lack of tournament victories a common theme on the leaderboard Rhodes is a rookie on the LET this year and has a previous best of tied 33rd although she looked unflappable on Saturday during her bogey-free round of 68,which could have been better if her flatstick had behaved I had to place the ball really nicely on the green to have chance at birdies and just hope that the putts dropped,” Rhodes who started her day with eight straight pars after a second round 62 “I was still playing as aggressive as I was yesterday Putting pressure on Rhodes during the third round Fanali set a personal best on the LET with her bogey-free 64 with the 25-year-old another whose day could have been even better than her seven birdies if putts had dropped Fanali missing a makeable eagle try at the par-5 13th and almost holed her pitch for eagle at the 18th to make a further dent in Rhodes’ lead before settling for the best round of moving day so I just tried to stay very patient and focus on what I was doing and it worked out really well,” Fanali said I thought I could make it and I was just a bit which was headed for a swim at the beach like Friday afternoon has Fanali two in front of Spain’s Nuria Iturrioz and Rudgeley on 12-under perhaps holding an advantage over the rest of the leading contenders all of whom are yet to record an LET win during their young careers after her late back nine hat-trick of birdies and another at the 18th but when you have the week and you are feeling it Rhodes certainly hoping to ride that rookie luck when strong crowds will be out again and she plans to keep a closer eye on the leaderboard “I tried to laser the leaderboard (walking scorer) in front of me I wasn't going to ask my caddie to get out his phone,” the leader said with a laugh “Tomorrow I'll for sure be asking him to check the leaderboard and see what's going on ahead of me because you don’t know on this golf course The Ford Women's NSW

Australia’s health system fairer and more accessible UNSW Medicine & Health alumna Dr Ragavi Jeyakumar has been announced as the NSW Rhodes Scholar for 2025 She is the fourth UNSW Medicine & Health alum to receive a Rhodes Scholarship in five years Dr Jeyakumar completed her Bachelor of Medical Studies Bachelor of Medical Science (Hons) Class I and Doctor of Medicine studies at UNSW in 2023 and is working as a junior doctor at Liverpool Hospital She said it feels “very surreal” to be this year’s NSW Rhodes Scholar “I’m determined to make the most of my time in Oxford I feel a strong responsibility to learn and grow as much as I can so I can return and serve my communities as I hope to.” Provost and acting Vice-Chancellor and President at UNSW Sydney congratulated Dr Jeyakumar on her achievement “I’m thrilled to see such an outstanding former medical student like Ragavi receive a coveted Rhodes Scholarship It is well-deserved recognition of her outstanding academic accomplishments and I wish her the very best for her studies at Oxford,” Prof Dr Jeyakumar will pursue a doctorate in Women’s and Reproductive Health at Oxford University Driven by a deep commitment to health equity she aims to explore innovative solutions to make Australia's healthcare system more accessible and fairer for all Her passion stems from witnessing the disparities firsthand while growing up in rural New South Wales “I’ve seen community members inflicted with easily preventable conditions and watched my friends struggle to access mental and reproductive health services,” Dr Jeyakumar said “I wish to explore ways to help make our health system more equitable and culturally safe so that it meets the needs of all Australians or culturally and linguistically diverse communities “I’m eager to learn from the diverse perspectives of Oxford and Rhodes communities who are passionate about inspiring positive change in the world And I’m determined to make the most of the opportunity by learning and growing as much as I can so I can return and advance women’s health in rural Australia.” Academic Quality at UNSW said: “The Rhodes Scholarship is the oldest and one of the most prestigious international scholarship programs enabling young people to study at Oxford University I look forward to seeing her continuing to excel academically and then applying her learnings to advancing health care in rural communities.” UNSW Dean of Medicine & Health Professor Cheryl Jones said: “Each year the selection committee faces the difficult task of choosing just one student from New South Wales from a pool of outstanding candidates We’re thrilled that another student from the faculty of Medicine & Health – the third in four years – has been recognised It’s such an honour for Ragavi and we’re very proud of her.” Dr Jeyakumar arrived from Sri Lanka when she was six She grew up in the NSW towns of Wee Waa and Guyra and completed her schooling in Armidale She expects the Rhodes scholarship will provide an opportunity for personal and academic growth “It will give me the opportunity to live and work with young people from all around the world who will have lived experiences far removed from my own “I am so excited to challenge my own worldviews and learn from the diverse perspectives of the Oxford and Rhodes communities of individuals who are passionate and committed to inspiring positive change in the world I hope that these experiences will make me more fit serve my communities as I hope to.” Dr Jeyakumar has many interests including playing the flute and piano She has also spent time volunteering with Lifeline Australia and with community organisations supporting vulnerable populations in Armidale and Coffs Harbour For enquiries about this

character becomes Cody Rhodes’ loss to John Cena at WrestleMania 41 sparked a backlash and wrestling insiders criticized the scripted finish The prevailing thought was that it was a bad look for Cody Near the end of their Undisputed WWE Title match Rhodes and Cena had a tug-of-war over the title belt Rhodes came out with it—but instead of using it to strike back for the brutal attack he endured from Cena and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson at Elimination Chamber That hesitation allowed Cena to kick Rhodes in the groin and win his record-setting 17th world title “Now you look at Cody and go, ‘What’s wrong with you? You’re a damn fool.’ You deserve everything you get,” said WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray on the Busted Open podcast Johnson, conspicuous by his absence at ‘Mania, was also critical of the booking during an interview on The Pat McAfee Show he remained hopeful that Rhodes could recover from the loss under the right conditions but also an unheard-of run as a heel down the road.” the road to rebuilding Cody Rhodes seems short it’s easy to understand why he hesitated in that crisis it’s hard to imagine fans not accepting Rhodes’ explanation is why Rhodes tucked his tail between his legs and went into hiding after such an embarrassing defeat After winning the Undisputed WWE Title at last year’s WrestleMania He did that while still engaging with fans well into the night to say Rhodes has earned a break at this time is an understatement especially as Rhodes works to eclipse John Cena John Cena suffered a humiliating loss to The Rock—this after years of trash-talking the Hollywood icon much like Cody Rhodes after WrestleMania 41 Cena got off his butt and went to work the next day He showed up on Raw to congratulate The Rock he was greeted by a returning Brock Lesnar It’s been over a week, and Rhodes has missed the last two episodes of Raw and one episode of SmackDown. Currently, he is advertised as one of the “Featured Superstars” set to appear this Friday in Des Moines If Rhodes skips Des Moines—or disappears from the trail for too long—his absence could hurt him

Indigenous student at UNSW Law & Justice to receive a Rhodes Scholarship UNSW Law & Justice student Corey Blyth has been awarded a 2025 Rhodes Scholarship to study at Oxford University Mr Blyth plans to use the prestigious scholarship to study a Bachelor of Civil Laws and a Master of Public Policy at the university Both courses reflect his interests in advocacy and public law The first is to advocate for the inclusion of a Mildren direction in NSW law so that Indigenous witnesses with unique socio-linguistic qualities are less likely to be disadvantaged by the jury trial process,” he said “The second is to consider how to make the delivery of policies affecting Indigenous people more efficient whilst also maintaining the necessary balance between self-determination and accountability.” Mr Blyth said the process of becoming a Rhodes scholar has been a challenging but useful process that’s helped refine his career direction “It is a very exciting opportunity and is not something that I had anticipated would have been possible a few months ago,” he said UNSW Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Attila Brungs who studied inorganic chemistry at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar “It is wonderful to see yet another UNSW student whose passion and desire to have a positive impact in the world has resulted in the opportunity of a Rhodes and study at Oxford strong values and expert knowledge will no doubt see him make a significant contribution to the legal community and society more broadly Mr Blyth will complete a Bachelor of Law (Honours) and Bachelor of Criminology and Criminal Justice at UNSW this year He started his higher education journey in 2019 by participating in the Pre-Law Program run by the UNSW’s Centre for Indigenous Programs “The program helped me settle into UNSW and develop connections with fellow students and the faculty It also introduced me to most of the content for the first two terms That was important given I do not come from a legal background.” Mr Blyth has been working in public law in various roles alongside his studies including for the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions as a law tutor and formerly as a research assistant at the UNSW Centre for Criminology “It has been a lot of work juggling both degrees with my other commitments But what I am most pleased with is that I have been able to maintain consistent performance across the five years,” he said said UNSW was enormously proud of Mr Blyth he is also the first Rhodes scholar to be a student of both of the faculty’s undergraduate programs – in law and criminology Our entire community shares great pride in this achievement and I have no doubt he will make the most of this wonderful opportunity,” he said Mr Blyth has encouraged aspiring lawyers to undertake professional work while studying “I chose to get involved in legal work quite early I undertook summer clerkships in my first year of law studies which is a lot earlier than most,” he said “That is something which I have been suggesting to other students as well Get involved in the law as early as you can and gain experience while you are studying It is important to help narrow your focus.” He also thanked those who supported him during the application process and congratulated the other Rhodes scholars-elect and the shortlisted candidates “Everyone I met during the Rhodes process was remarkably talented I have no doubt they will all contribute hugely to this country,” he said Rhodes Scholars are chosen on the basis of exceptional intellect about 100 scholars are selected from around 60 countries including up to nine from Australia – one from each state University of Melbourne Bachelor of Arts student Michael Gentle has won a 2025 Rhodes Scholarship Australia-at-Large to study at Oxford University The prestigious scholarship was announced by the Chair of the Selection Committee at an event at Australian National University Michael intends to study a Master of Studies in History of Art and Visual Culture and a Master of Studies in World Literatures in English Michael said the two reflect his interest in the literary and the visual disintegrating and muddying of national identities I hope to explore where the Australiana is situated on a global platform in visual and literary codes The international forum that both the Rhodes and Oxford facilitates will push me to consider the global ramifications of Australian affairs,” Michael said I intend to bring issues relating to the First Peoples of this continent to the fore prioritising Indigenous methodologies and knowledges in exchange with other scholars and the broader community I hope to bridge the fjord between First Peoples and non-Indigenous communities particularly through curatorial and art-historical platforms Irish and Nyoongar ancestry - with ancestral connections to Minang Boodja - questions of national identity have had an enduring influence on my curatorial and art-historical research.” Michael was inspired to become a Rhodes Scholar through the support he received during his studies “The connective tissue between Oxford University and Australia is profound; the former playing a fundamental role in constructing the visual cultures and national mood across the continent of Australia coupled with the yearning to learn from and contribute to a global community of thinkers that propelled me to consider Rhodes “Support from academic staff and peers at the University of Melbourne were also very generous with their time illustrating the potentiality of the Rhodes Scholarship and how this would support my ambitions.” University of Melbourne Dean of Arts Professor Jennifer Balint congratulated Michael on his Rhodes Scholarship “We are immensely proud of Michael and this exceptional achievement Michael is a fine scholar who has already made outstanding contributions to the creative and cultural sectors in

English rookie Mimi Rhodes has kept bogey off her scorecard for 37 holes at Wollongong Golf Club to triumph at the Ford Women’s NSW Open and lift the Jan Stephenson Trophy Starting the day with a one-shot lead over Alessandra Fanali (Italy) on a congested leaderboard Rhodes defied nerves in just her fourth Ladies European Tour start with a 2-under 69 final round to reach 17-under and claim the final leg of the WPGA Tour of Australasia co-sanctioned swing it really hasn't sunk in yet … still in shock,” Rhodes said In what shaped as a head-to-head tussle in the final group Fanali’s final day charge was partially stalled by a cold putter the Italian continued to press and eventually signed for a 70to finish in a share of second with Kirsten Rudgeley (68) West Australian Rudgeley made a strong start to her final-round challenge with two birdies in five holes but ultimately was undone by bogeys at the seventh and 10th while Sara Kouskova of the Czech Republic was fourth alone I can't be disappointed with the way I played a standout amateur who played college golf at Wake Forest University and was a member of Junior Ryder Cup and Curtis Cup teams the trip to Australia had been a frustrating one until heading south of Sydney the disappointment of the cancellation of the Australian WPGA Championship meant some temporary displacement before Rhodes missed the cut at the Australian Women’s Classic Her change of fortune in Wollongong leading the 23-year-old who put a slight swing tweak in place this week to a change of heart for future visits Down Under before this week someone asked me if I'm coming back next year and I said no but I'm definitely going to change that answer to yes,” Rhodes said “I'll definitely be back next year for sure.” It wasn’t all plain sailing on Sunday for Rhodes who looked supremely impressive early when making birdie at the second and fourth to extend her lead while showing no outward signs of the nerves the chasing pack would have hoped might appear but I've learned to deal with these situations so I've been working a lot on breathing and being able to concentrate in the present and stay focused and it really helped out there obviously,” she said who set the course record with a 62 on Friday went on a 14-hole par streak as birdie putts lipped out and she saved pars with her short game The most impressive and important arguably at the 17th when leading by two over Fanali With the Italian in close with a look at birdie that she would ultimately convert Rhodes left her tee shot short of the downhill par-3 Her magnificent chip released and nearly caught a piece of the hole leaving Rhodes the shortest of tap-ins to setup a walk down the 72nd hole with a one shot lead That walk got a little easier when Fanali pulled her tee shot left and required a drop that led to an eventual bogey to help elevate Rudgeley into shared runner-up honours who plotted her way down the par-5 for the 14th par of her streak and her first LET title which arrived much earlier than she had anticipated after coming through Qualifying School last year I wasn't expecting any of it and I'm just glad it went my way,” she said when asked if she expected a win so soon The 23-year-old was planning celebrations in Sydney before a quick trip home to the UK and then a return to the Southern Hemisphere in week for the South African swing of LET events “I'm dropping her (Lily May Humphries) at the airport and spending the night with family friends in Sydney I'll definitely have a glass of champagne on the plane as well.” Playing the group ahead of Rhodes and without the benefit of leaderboard Rudgeley was doing her best to track her position throughout the final day and when her birdie putt dropped at the 18th for a final round of 68 she thought it might have been enough to earn a spot in a playoff but Rudgeley took plenty of positives away from the week as she prepares for her second season on the LET “I was getting a bit disappointed in my golf towards the last end of last year and even the start of this being Saudi and stuff and I just wasn't playing I wasn't getting results,” Rudgeley said “So it was nice to have not just four rounds of golf but four rounds under par The WPGA Tour of Australasia now heads to Binalong for the World Sand Greens Championship where Rudgeley will be the star turn of the final of three Golf NSW events on the schedule but now we'll go out there and have a bit of fun and then a nice little break at home The WWE return date of former WWE Champion Cody Rhodes appears

one-year run with the gold after defeating Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40 Cena will have his first title defense against career rival and Rhodes’ mentor Randy Orton at Backlash on May 10 in St And it

Greensboro The former champion is listed as one of the featured superstars for the show The WWE.com advertisement doesn’t necessarily guarantee that Rhodes will appear as he had also previously advertised for the post-WrestleMania edition of SmackDown on April 25 Getting Rhodes back in the mix after a much-deserved break would be a logical move for WWE given its upcoming schedule The company

European Tour with a two-shot win in the Ford Women’s NSW Open at Wollongong Golf Club Rhodes drew on the success of three Curtis Cup appearances for Great Britain to overcome a talented international field to raise the first silverware of her professional career Her final round was another composed bogey-free exhibition of two-under to finish the tournament on -17 It’s the first of what is likely to be many trophies the former US college star will lift in her career the 24-year-old had to be patient as she waited for putts to drop but this morning in mild conditions at this seaside links course Two early birdies on the second and fourth holes were crucial as she opened up a three-shot lead heading into the back nine Fourteen rock steady pars to follow was enough to seal the deal Spain’s Iturrioz who promised to maintain her aggressive approach initially delivered with three birdies through the first five holes but then handed them back on the par-4 seventh (bogey) and a double-bogey on the ninth when her tee shot found the water all but ending her challenge for a fifth LET title Rhodes had to endure a late challenge from Italian Alessandra Fanali who was coming off a career-best round yesterday (64) but down the stretch will rue the missed chances that could have led to her own breakthrough win She birdied the 17th with a mid-range putt to narrow the gap to one the 25-year-old will take a lot of confidence from her courageous fight and clearly has the game to go as far as her ambition allows Rhodes may feel she could have won by more with a pair of birdie lip-outs on 14 and 15 But that will be forgotten as her dream start to her professional career continues Highest-placed Australian was Perth’s Kirsten Rudgeley with yet another solid performance to finish -3 for the day and -15 for the tournament in equal second with Fanali her 11th top 10 finish on the Ladies European Tour The round of the day belonged to Welsh star Darcey Harry who’s last two events – The Australian Women’s Classic and the Open – have confirmed she belongs in elite golf The powerful 21-year-old had seven birdies in her final round to finish at -5 for the day and -7 for the tournament in a tie for 14th place Shot of the day went to Switzerland’s Kim Matreaux who holed out on the 132m 10th with a dart that never left the pin and rolled out perfectly Unfortunately it was the wrong hole to take home the Ford F-150 Lariat but does come with a big bar tab and one for the memory bank The 29-year-old finished three-under for the round -11 for the tournament and in a tie for 5th Highest-placed amateur of the event was South Korean Hyojin Yang who added her fourth consecutive 69 to finish at -8 for the tournament and equal 11th Italy’s Alessandra Finali is just two

for the tournament Rhodes missed her birdie putt and will need her trademark composure with the championship on the line Perth’s Kirsten Rudgeley and Spain’s Blanca Fernandez are three shots adrift and running out of chances although there is still the downwind par-five which is reachable in two Mimi Rhodes is showing composure beyond her years as the Briton takes a three-shot lead into the back nine at Wollongong Golf Club in the hunt for the Jan Stephenson Trophy has almost shut the door on her challengers as she travelled through the front nine with a two-under performance which comprised of two birdies and seven pars Her greatest challenge came from Spain’s four-time LET winner Nuria Iturrioz who got within one shot of Rhodes with three birdies though five holes but handed them all back with a bogey on the seventh and a double bogey on the par-five ninth when her tee shot found the water The nearest challenger now is Italian Alessandra Fanali who is even par for the round and three behind Will there be alate twist in this final event of the co-sanctioned Ladies European Tour and WPGA event the final doorstop on this Australian swing She won’t be driving home in the Ford

Championship Sunday Iturrioz came out the aggressor and for the front nine it worked with three birdies to close the gap to Rhodes but a bogey on the tough par-four 7th opened the gap back up again.  Italian Alessandra Fanali is even-par through the front nine to be at -14 and still in with a chance if she can find birdies on the easier back nine which has back-to-back downwind par-fives which will be a key factor as this championship plays out Australia’s Kirsten Rudgeley is one-under for her final round and three back today it is a different story for overnight leader Britain’s Mimi

Heim watched a massive lead of nearly 16 seconds evaporate with a late-race yellow It eventually got pushed into double overtime where Heim had to fend off rivals from literally all sides After being put in the middle of a three-wide situation at the white flag, he drove it very deep into Turn 1, holding onto the lead -- and win -- while Daniel Hemric was forced to settle for second. However, the driver to his outside at the pivotal moment was Ben Rhodes and he fell all the way back to sixth after being pushed out of the groove .. watching the replay with how I was ran in three and four by Heim," explained Rhodes in his FOX Sports 1 interview That's why all those wrecks kept happening And that's what opened up for three wide down the front stretch "We were leading -- or it felt like we were leading it's just it all stems from that corner back there (Turns 3/4) When you get pushed up out of the groove and you start having to come out of the gas That's a big deal and that's what opens up for three-wide racing but when you have an opportunity to win races with this playoff format So we have to capitalize on that,when we can but that's racing in the Truck series and that's why it's so exciting for all the fans." Heim later responded to Rhodes' comments in the winner's press conference and no He saw nothing wrong with his tactics and pushed back on Rhodes' statements "I feel like he would have done the same thing as would anyone coming to the white flag," said Heim Probably just him in the heat of the moment but yeah We're coming to the white flag of a race that everyone's trying to win and you don't want me to push you out of the groove From Formula 1 to MotoGP we report straight from the paddock because we love our sport In order to keep delivering our expert journalism we want to give you the opportunity to enjoy an ad-free and tracker-free website and to continue using your adblocker You have reached ESPN's Australian edition.

for the 17th time in his career WrestleMania 41 Night 2 concluded with fans seeing John Cena win the WWE Undisputed championship while competing in his last event on professional wrestling's biggest stage who announced that he will retire at the end of the year and has since been on a farewell tour Rapper Travis Scott made an appearance during the match interrupting only to be on the wrong end of Rhodes' finishing move Iyo Sky defended the Women's World title against Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley and Dominick Mysterio won the Intercontinental championship over Bron Breakker Here are the highlights from WrestleMania 41 Night 2 A WWE Hall of Famer has a good idea for when Cody Rhodes should win back the WWE Title from John Cena The main event of WrestleMania 41 Sunday saw John Cena beat Cody Rhodes to win the Undisputed WWE Title It was a match that saw rapper Travis Scott prevent Rhodes from winning While the Cena-Rhodes match won’t be remembered as a classic WrestleMania main event it was historic because it was Cena’s record-breaking 17th WWE Championship it was an end to his first WWE Championship reign that lasted 378 days During his title reign, Cody Rhodes often took pride in being WWE’s quarterback and a leader in the locker room He was also a key reason why WWE’s business has been so strong Cena has made it clear to fans that he intends to be the last real WWE Champion and retire as the champion when he retires as a pro wrestler at the end of the year If you asked WWE fans who should beat John Cena for the WWE Title Other options could include a new opponent for Cena many people believe he is the one who should win the title back from Cena as payback for his WrestleMania loss Jeff Jarrett, a WWE and TNA Hall of Famer, explained on his My World podcast that he thinks Rhodes should defeat Cena to win back the title “Is Cena going to carry it through December Where do they want the most views or streams if you will I would give Cody — we got the May premium live event and the June premium live event and then SummerSlam is at MetLife I think you bring him back for June on TV and he stakes his claim that I’m getting the title back and you’ve got to run one opponent in there that makes sense — we’ll call him the beatable heel that has some credibility Cody wins that and then he wins at SummerSlam and we’re off to the races and you have a fourth quarter babyface run of Cena and they keep counting down the dates and they keep counting down the cash register with all the merch you put him in that event and he is victorious.” Since his WrestleMania loss, Cody Rhodes has been off WWE television H/T Fightful A popular WWE Premium Live Event looks set to drop from the calendar but it seems several WWE stars feel differently Two released WWE stars have fired back at suggestions that laziness was the reason behind them being cut from the company A new report has given an insight into the latest round of WWE releases Rhea Ripley is looking forward to going home with Shan Lin’s Linfield Group rebranding as DiJones Rhodes under a new licensee arrangement will continue to lead the team as it joins the DiJones network If

between DiJones’ methodology and the buyer demographic in the region particularly with young professionals seeking modern apartments the group looks to gain access to DiJones’ support services Meadowbank and Ryde because it is attractive to young professional buyers who enjoy living in new apartments,” Lin said Lin said the DiJones leadership team’s vision and approach influenced his decision to merge with the brand having worked through a business plan with Dean Mackie and Brent May they listened and deeply understood our needs,” Lin said we could only take our business so far and partnering with DiJones enables us to take that next step with our clients and provide an even greater level of service “We’ll also have access to their extensive technology stack and comprehensive shared services business support model.” DiJones chief executive officer Dean Mackie said the decision to establish a presence in Rhodes was driven by extensive buyer migration data identifying the suburb as a key growth area and this pointed towards Rhodes as a logical next step for DiJones,” Mackie said He noted the new DiJones Rhodes office was in good hands with Lin’s strong presence and track record within the region As the chief operating officer for seven years at DiJones Brent May commented that the expansion of DiJones into north-west Sydney is operationally significant and the data has told us that expanding into the northern suburbs is critical for our footprint.” Lin said he was looking forward to opportunities within the merge for his team to work and collaborate with top professionals in the real estate industry “Our well-established team can’t wait to see what we can achieve as an integral addition to the DiJones network.” Developer Billbergia

implications Rhodes' inability to clock Cena with his title belt on the "Grandest Stage of Them All" was a disastrous case of idiotic babyface syndrome "The American Nightmare" has been off television since the defeat Rhodes helped put the company on his back for over a year his absence leaves a massive void in weekly programming So when should fans expect Rhodes back on their screen According to Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp Rhodes' return is a bit up in the air "Cody Rhodes is no longer listed as a "featured superstar" for tonight or next week's WWE SmackDown," Sapp reported to X "He's listed for May 16 as the earliest." That would put Rhodes in line to appear at the first SmackDown after Backlash Many fans in Sapp's comment section were theorizing the PLE could be where Rhodes makes his comeback If Rhodes simply gets his strap back at the end of the year it will be compelling to see what the 39-year-old does in the interim He has a ready-made rivalry with Randy Orton that has yet to come to fruition Rhodes is an elite performer who can make the most out of his situation It'll be fun to see what the next chapter of his story might entail When Corey Blyth heads to Oxford University in 2025 it will be the result of his cumulative scholarly and the support of numerous mentors and referees He is the first Indigenous student at UNSW Law & Justice to merit the feted Rhodes Scholarship and his intention – for now – is to pursue his legal career in NSW Blyth intends to study a Bachelor of Civil Law and a Master of Public Policy at the university which reflect his interest in advocacy and public law the Rhodes Scholarship is the oldest graduate scholarship in the world It is considered among the world’s most prestigious international scholarship programs open to international students irrespective of gender or area of study Blyth’s primary ambitions are specific personal and necessary: to ensure the jury trial process does not continue to disadvantage Indigenous witnesses with unique socio-linguistic qualities he intends to advocate for the inclusion of a Mildren direction in NSW law He also wants to find the balance between Indigenous Australians’ self-determination and accountability in the delivery of policies affecting Indigenous people but challenging route from Blyth’s UNSW beginnings in 2019 to now He will complete a Bachelor of Law (Honours) and a Bachelor of Criminology and Criminal Justice at UNSW this year having participated in the Pre-Law Program run by the UNSW’s Centre for Indigenous Programs Nura means place and Gili means fire/light Nura Gili brings together these concepts to create the meaning ‘place of fire and light’ “It is not as though the Rhodes scholarship has been on my mind for years I did not know much about it and the opportunities it presents until beginning the application process in early June.” Blyth has mostly been working in public law positions during his studies proving himself as an over-achiever from the get-go His employers have included the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions His Oxford course choices build upon his existing experience “The scholarship covers course and college fees for a minimum of two courses I intend on studying two taught Masters degrees The Bachelor of Civil Law starts in October 2025 and is a 10-month commitment I am interested in studying that degree because my long-term ambition is to become a barrister and the BCL will provide me with an excellent opportunity to improve my skills for that career path.” The Master of Public Policy which follows is a 12-month course beginning in October 2026 “That degree relates to my desire to explore how to make the delivery of programs and policies affecting Indigenous people more accountable whilst also preserving some element of self-determination Much of my experience is in the public law and in government organisations so I know that developing further public policy skills will prove useful.” “In the short time that I have worked at the ODPP I have become interested in improving the experience of victims in the criminal justice system but I feel like victims are sometimes forgotten “After learning about how the unique sociolinguistic qualities of some Indigenous people impacts the giving of evidence in an adversarial setting It is used in some other states to inform juries about those sociolinguistic qualities so that they may make better decisions It appears to have proven quite successful in doing so but is not yet normalised in NSW.” is a harmful misconception and generalisation “I think there may be a perception that the Indigenous population in NSW is more gentrified than the Indigenous populations in other states where the direction is used and that the direction is therefore not needed here I agree that the direction is not appropriate for every Indigenous person in every situation but I believe that it should still be regularised as an option I am not trying to reinvent the wheel by proposing this change – I am simply trying to change the tread on it so that the law can better respond to more varied conditions.” The scholarship committee selects candidates based on points accumulated through academic achievements additional criteria included the use of talent and ability to support and care for others The Rhodes Scholarship is enormously competitive with only nine scholarships awarded to Australian students each year Professor Peter Kanowski is the National Secretary for Australia “The nine Australian Rhodes Scholars elected each year emerge from a demanding selection process in which committees chaired by State Governors and interview a shortlist of candidates who are assessed as outstanding against selection criteria of academic excellence “Corey will also be able to draw on the support of a wider First Peoples’ community at Oxford including many fellow Australians supported at various times by the Aurora Educational Foundation – amongst them his Rhodes Predecessor and now Tutorial Fellow in Law at Magdalen College “I began at UNSW by participating in the Nura Gili Pre-Law program,’ explains Blyth “and many of my colleagues in that program were also stepping into the law with limited experience in it I believe my receipt of this scholarship proves that individuals who participate in programs such as these can go on to perform at high levels There is an excellent cohort of Indigenous law students at UNSW at the moment and I am already receiving questions from other students about how they too could study abroad.” Blyth is grateful to the people who mentored and supported him and for the opportunity to work in public law “Public legal organisations are now offering improved internship and paralegal programs that are open to students earlier in their degree I am a strong advocate for students involving themselves in the law as early as possible,” he says “It is important to help gauge where your ambitions lie I would encourage public legal institutions to continue offering such programs for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people They have proven hugely beneficial in building the experiences that contributed to my receipt of this scholarship,” he says Blyth joins a diverse list of past achievers and Booker Prize winning author Richard Flanagan Catherine Zhou will pursue law as Victoria’s Rhodes Scholar and Queensland’s Rhodes Scholar Matisse Reed will also study law and public policy Lillian Ireland will be one year into her postgraduate environmental and climate justice-oriented studies and Sam Goldberg from The University of Sydney Law School will also be midway through his Bachelor of Civil Law Nearly 8000 Rhodes Scholars have served in key legal and government positions There’s an intimidating precedent set for newly announced Rhodes Scholars but there is no sense that Blyth feels the weight of history Top image: Corey Blyth (far right) with fellow Rhodes Scholar recipients
