the kansas city chiefs beat the san francisco 49ers 25—22 in overtime and win their third super bowl in five years. the night was made even bigger by the prescence of taylor swift. the singer was supporting her boyfriend, travis kelce, who plays for the kansas city chiefs. swift has brought new fans to the national football league, especially women and girls. our correspondent nesta mcgregor reports from the celebrations in las vegas. the kansas city chiefs, back—to—back champions. the first time it has been achieved for almost 20 years. does this one feel any different? it does, it feels ten times better, man. adversity, what the team went through, the naysayers. but on top of that, man, just how much fun we have coming in the building. you can see how we are enjoying this one right now. how will you and your lovely pop star girlfriend be celebrating? i'm sure vegas will roll

out the red carpet — i will be elvis for the night. the champagne is flowing — my glasses are proof. the kansas city chiefs — back—to—back nfl champions. the day started with both sets of fans convinced it would be their team lifting a trophy at the end. some travelled across state lines, others a bit further — leeds, to be precise. i was a0 this week. super bowl was always on the cards and wejust made it happen. we flew out wednesday and here we are. is it genuinely his team orjust to ruin his birthday? we are patriots fans. that's the funniest thing. we just chose teams on the day, nd got the jerseys and came to the game. most came to see the game. but the fact taylor swift might be there may have persuaded some. and the pop star was in the stands to watch a nervy back—and—forth encounter. two touchdowns from the 49ers.

the kansas chiefs with one of their own and their kicker making up the extra points. 19—19 at full—time, the chiefs eventually winning 25—22 in overtime. the chiefs are super bowl champions again. if the game itself made for a nervous watch, then r&b singer usher did his best to lighten the mood. the 45—year—old half—time show performer running through a string of hits in a 15—minute set that featured alicia keys and will.i.am. no team has ever won three super bowl titles in a row, but planning for next year can surely wait. after all, this is vegas and this party is unlikely to end anytime soon.

and all the reaction to that match on the bbc sport website. there was a fairytale ending for ivory coast, who came from behind to win the africa cup of nations for a third time. they were drawing 1—1 with nigeria in the final when sebastian haller scored the winner. the striker had recovered after being diagnosed with testicular cancer a year ago. it's been a dramaticjourney for the host nation. ian williams is in abidjan. this result completes a fairy tale nations cup for ivory coast. you have to remember, they sacked their head coach before the end of the group stage, following a 4—0 defeat. several times in this competition they looked dead and buried, like they looked dead and buried, like they would go up, and somehow they always found a way to come back and survive, and that is exactly what they did again tonight, because they were behind in the first half, and nigeria were perhaps the better side

in the opening period. but they equalised in the second period, dominated by ivory coast, then the borussia dortmund striker who less than two years ago was battling testicular cancer, capped a fairy tale story of his own and found an exquisite touch at the near post to score the winner in the 81st minute. it means it is heartbreak, of course, for nigeria. ivory coast join them on three continental titles, and it means the hosts become the first side to win this tournament on home soil since 2006, and kick off a party here that i think will go on for many hours yet. the world of athletics is reeling following the sad news that kelvin kiptum, the marathon record holder, has been killed in a car accident. the 24—year—old kenyan is said to have been with his coach, who also died in the crash on a road in a high—altitude region of western kenya, where there is a training base for long distance runners. it comes just five days after the world governing body, world athletics, ratified kiptum's record time from his win at

the chicago marathon last october. he smashed the world record by more than half a minute, running it in a time of 2 hours and 35 seconds. he also won the london marathon last year. double olympic gold medalist eliud kipchoge paid tribute on social media saying: "i am deeply saddened by the tragic "passing of the marathon world record holder and rising star kelvin kiptum, "an athlete who had a whole life ahead of him to achieve "incredible greatness. "may i offer my deepest condolences to his young family." and that's all the sport for now. it isa it is a big week for the political party leaders as two parts of england head to the polls in by—elections in what is set to be a

general election year. the tories will be looking to hold onto boat seats. the lib dems will want to try and cause an upset. kingswood in south gloucestershire is on the edge of the city of bristol and will go to the polls on thursday. it follows the resignation of x conservative mp chris skidmore. he stood down last month over the government's energy plans. the other by—election is in wellingborough, which was recalled following a recall petition in the constituency. it follows mp peter bone�*s suspension from the commons for six weeks for breaching the code of conduct for mps. nicky is spending the day in wellingborough and joins us from a college in the town. hello, we are inside a trash in college, a further education college —— we are at the further education couege —— we are at the further education college here. students study a range
