I've been told Manchester could be a possibility depending on how the vaccination programme goes in the UK

FORT WORTH, Texas – J’den Cox (Colorado Springs, Colo./Titan Mercury WC/USOPTC) will not compete at the 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials – Wrestling on Friday. Cox did not make weight. Under the rules of the event, Cox has been removed from the bracket at 97 kg in men’s freestyle, where he was entered pending weigh in. He had earned a spot in the semifinals, based upon winning a 2019 World medal in a non-Olympic weight class (92 kg). The bracket for that weight class has been adjusted. Cox was a 2016 Olympic bronze medalist and 2017 World bronze medalist at 86 kg, then won consecutive World titles in 2018 and 2019 at 92 kg. He was a three-time NCAA champion at Missouri, and hails from Columbia, Mo.

Women's marathon Jess Piasecki and Steph Twell selected for final two places in Tokyo

Another statistic. Germany or West Germany have played 211 qualification games for the World Cup, European Championships or European Nations League and only lost 16 times. Only the Netherlands and Northern Ireland have ever beaten them twice. Uniquely Northern Ireland did it home and away in the same tournament (Euro 1984)

It's lucky South Macedonia isn't involved, Germany would have no chance....

Men's 100m Ferdinand Omanyala 10.01 A Kenyan sprinter....

Very bad news indeed. Considering I just won the contract to build the Suez Canal Bridge and having one park in a perfect position would have saved millions on construction.

You're too optimistic. Surely this is his next boat?

Rare that an athlete is so outspoken about a rival...

GBR women's marathon trial 1 Steph Davis 2:27. 2 Natasha Cockram 2;30 Davis selected for Tokyo. Two others will be named later

GBR Men's Marathon trial 1 Chris Thompson 2:10.51 2 Ben Connor GBR team for Tokyo will be Thompson, Connor and Callum Hawkins

Women's 20k was won by Heather Lewis with Bethan Davies 2nd. Both missed the Q time but will be automatically selected for Tokyo if they record a qualifying time before June.

Men's 20k walk was won by Callum Wilkinson outside the Olympic Qualifying time. 2nd place Tom Bosworth already has the Q and books his place in Tokyo. Wilkinson will automatically be selected if he makes the qualifying time between now and June.

Perfectly possible by 2028. But of course independence would have to come first, IOC membership later.

Will not happen. If the Iroquios are accepted then why not Gibraltar, The Falkland Islands, Tibet, South Ossetia, Northern Cyprus, Inner Mongolia, Western Sahara, Nagorno-Karabash, Catalonia, Euskadi, Galicia, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, Heligoland....

And replaced by a general gun control story

That's a very confused article you're quoting (or at least the headline is). All it says is that Nigerians are the most optimistic in the world. But the bottom line is you can be miserable now, optimistic for the future maybe, but that doesn't mean you're not miserable in the present.

NEW WORLD RECORD Huangshan, Women's 20k walk Yang Jiayu 1:23.49

Corbishley led the race for a long time and looked like he would finish in about 3:45 - but lost ten minutes in the last 10k and missed the Q time by 4 minutes.
