ALICANTE, Spain -- The 2017-18 edition of the Volvo Ocean Race will be the
longest in the round-the-world sailing events history at close to 44,000
nautical miles, and will feature a sharp increase in the distance sailed in the
fierce conditions of the Southern Ocean, organizers announced Wednesday.

.The 13th edition of the race, which dates back to 1973 when it was known as the
Whitbread Round the World Race, will start from the races home port of Alicante,
Spain in late 2017.Altogether, the route will take in a total of 11 Host Cities
-- Alicante, Lisbon, Cape Town Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Auckland, Itajai, Brazil,
Newport, Rhode Island, Cardiff, Wales, Gothenburg, Sweden and The Hague.The key
tests for the teams over eight months of competition will come on the long leg
from Cape Town to Hong Kong -- over 12,000 nautical miles -- and on the shorter
run from Auckland, around Cape Horn, to Itajai. Both legs will take the sailors
deep into the Southern Ocean.Were returning to our roots, said the races British
CEO Mark Turner as he looked ahead to the potential for strong winds, ice and
huge waves in the waters above Antarctica.Were going back to the Southern Ocean
in a big way, and in particular on the monster leg from Cape Town up to Hong
Kong.The short section from Hong Kong to Guangzhou in mainland China will be a
non-scoring transition, Turner explained.The official race distance is given as
43,750 nautical miles (50,350 miles; 81,025 kms). That compares to 39,000
nautical miles in the last edition in 2014-15.

. The All-Pro lineman got the leg bent under him while trying to make a tackle
during the first half of a 22-20 overtime loss at Miami on Thursday night. The
medical staff initially thought hed torn the ligament, and the test a day later
in Cincinnati confirmed it.

. Uniteds eighth defeat of a wretched campaign means Liverpool, which currently
occupies the fourth and final Champions League place, could go nine points clear
of its fierce rival by beating West Bromwich Albion on Sunday. Charlie Adam
scored both of Stokes goals at Britannia Stadium either side of Robin van
Persies equalizer, with a miserable day for seventh-place United capped by
first-half injuries to centre halves Jonny Evans and Phil Jones that forced them
off. Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) has released a statement condemning the alleged
racist abuse of Zimbabwe batsman Malcolm Waller by a section of the home crowd
during the second Test against Sri Lanka last week.Waller is understood to have
lodged the complaint when abusive comments were directed at him after he dropped
a catch on the morning of the fourth day of the Test. Fielding at square leg,
Waller missed an easy chance off Asela Gunaratnes bat in the middle of an
otherwise tight spell from quicks Carl Mumba and Chris Mpofu. Zimbabwe went on
to lose the Test by 257 runs, conceding the series 2-0.Zimbabwe Cricket was
deeply disturbed by the conduct of a section of fans who made abusive and racist
chants targeted at our players during Zimbabwes just-ended Test series against
Sri Lanka at Harare Sports Club, ZCs statement said. We condemn any act of
racism, abuse or intolerance in cricket, in particular, and sport, in
general.The chants appear to have come from the section of the ground known as
Castle Corner, where fans traditionally gather in boisterous but good-natured
support during international games. This is also the area where members of the
Zimbabwe Cricket Supporters Union (ZCSU), an unofficial body that mobilises
support for the national team during home games, can usually be found.We are
also disappointted by such racist rants, if they were really made, Tapfumaneyi
Vivian Banhire, chairman of the ZCSU, told cricketbadger.

com. Our supporters union has no such members who engaged in such
behaviour.Banhire confirmed his organisations position to ESPNcricinfo. It wasnt
any of our guys, he said. Zimbabwean supporters are not racial at all.During
Zimbabwes last home series against India in June when the home side was thrashed
in all of their matches, disgruntled Zimbabwe fans vented their frustrations by
holding up a variety of homemade signs, some of which suggested that Zimbabwe
cricket players should be arrested and face treason over their performances.The
fans made themselves clear during the India series and I believe the players had
got the message, therefore there was no need to continue with waving such cards
again, Banhire said. The fans are very happy that we have come this far.ZC is
continuing to investigate Wallers complaint, and warned that it is taking steps
to introduce sanctions against those involved in such incidents. The ICCs
anti-racism code requires members to impose punishments, including possible life
bans, on anyone found guilty of racial abuse.
