After securing the British title last week, Joel Makin fell just short in the London Classic, losing out to 13-11 / 11-7 / 11-8

The commonwealth team will be smaller than in 2022 - 28 compared to 34 - but I'd still expect to see a lot of the top stars doubling up

I think the French track and field team were facing the same issue ahead of Tokyo World champs

Alex Yee made a somewhat underwhelming return to the WTCS with a 9th place finish in the French Riviera event. It was a sprint event rather than full Olympic distance. He had the 2nd fastest 5km run but he'd already lost a minute on the swim and bike legs to eventual winner Matt Hauser. Connor Bentley came home in 17th whilst Ben Dijkstra was 19th. On the women's side, Beth Potter was 5th, Olivia Mathias 12th and Sian Rainsley 15th. Jess Fullagar was the last of the Brits, coming home in 19th place. The next stop in the series is Karlovy Vary in a couple of weeks time. Max Stapley, Hugo Milner, Oliver Conway, Jack Willis and Harry Leleu are on the start list for the men's event whilst Kate Waugh, Olivia Mathias, Sian Rainsley, Jess Fullagar and Beth Potter line up in the women's event.

Can this really be first win of a Eurobasket match in over a decade? In 2022 and 2017 they went 0-5 whilst they failed to qualify in 2015 having gone 0-4 in qualifying. Back in 2013 - when GB were ranked 23 - they recorded wins over and ironically after the result earlier this week, they also beat

Charles Brown has shown ability to hit sub 30 for the obstacle but isn't yet showing the level of consistency to be challenging for podiums but would still expect him to be in the mix for qualification

make it 4 from 4 with a 20-9 win over GB are now pretty much guaranteed to finish top of the group. In the crossover match they are likely to face either Croatia or Israel.

well and truly destroyed by 120-57 at EuroBasket

Women's Under 18 squad have made strong start to the European Championships. They are undefeated after 3 matches to sit top of their group with 2 matches to go. Having already banked victories over (36-4), (17-6) and (17-7) they will face undefeated tomorrow and then on Wednesday but it looks good for them to get to the crossover round.

GB Aquatics selection policy for next year's European Championships has been published. Ben Proud will be the only athlete pre-selected as medalist from Singapore. The maximum team size has gone up to 40 - I think this is the largest team size we've seen for a few years. In the selection policy for the 2022 Europeans the team size was set to 35. Unfortunately, they seem to have maintained the requirement that the athletes achieve the qualification time in the final of the British Champs in April.

Why would there be an extra 4 quotas in artistic gymnastics?

Pentathlon seems to be another sport where GB athletes are taking a fallow year - not sure the squad we sent to Kaunas this year was full strength. Big unknown is Joe Choong - he was vocal opponent to the introduction of the obstacle race but the last couple of pieces I've seen on him suggested that he was intending to carry on.

Bronze medal for Lauren Williams in Muju Grand Prix Challenge. Wonder if she will carry on through to LA

World Taekwondo GP Challenge - Muju Taekwondowon 2025 Day 1 Results Men's -80Kg 1. CJ Nickolas 2. Kang Jaegwon 3. Henrique Rodrigues Fernandes Women's -49Kg 1. Lee ye-Ji 2. Alisa Angelova 3. Nodira Akhmedova

take team silver at the European championships with a score of 226.785 behind on 229.644 with taking the bronze on 223.385. We were defending champions from 2023 so this can be viewed as disappointing result. Across the board the GB scores were down compared to 2023 - Charlotte Fry scored 81.258 in 2023 but only registered 75.869 this year. Will be interesting to see how long it will be before Dujardin is back on the squad.

Bello Brothers win their first pool match at the Hamburg Elite16 event. They take out Krattiger & Dillier 21-11 / 18-21 / 15-12. They'll be back on court tomorrow against Boermans & de Groot

A great result for her but the cynic in me can't help thinking she's going to get to Tokyo and will revert back to being stuck in the treacle of 1.91/1.94

Didn't Bird retire?

It was never likely that the BOA were going to get a positive embrace of Team GB football team from the rest of the Home Nations - the best they could hope for was that Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland wouldn't go nuclear with their objections - essentially saying that they won't actively stand in England's way, but they won't be part of it. Whilst I don't think this story hugely changes the dynamic of the attempt to get a Team GB football team, unfortunately it was never likely that BOA could make it happen within the space of 1 Olympic cycle.

Not sure that's right - Ryan Crouser already has wildcard as defending champion so winning the DL final wouldn't make any difference for Kovacs unless Crouser's injury prevents him from trying to defend his title

I know we have issues with the longer distances, but this time we were even struggling at the 200m which has been one of our strengths over the last couple of cycles
