Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by reproducing dateparser.parse("29:13.42") and the reported "8:12.18" example, then trace how time-only strings are classified. Done means sports times in MM:SS.centiseconds form are detected consistently, with behavior verified against the reported examples.
