Huge upset for China in women's doubles. One of their doubles lost to Germans, so they have only one team in the field. It's the first time since 1975 when China might have only one medalling double in this event

a nice story from Cyprus.
 
a popular Russian football blogger Evgeniy Savin established a football club Krasava (named after his blog, it means something like Cool fellow) in 2021. The next year Savin made an anti-war report, was declared wanted and had to flee. He moved team to Cyprus and it started playing in the second division. In the third season they promoted to the top Cyprus division. Not every day a blogger's team gets such promotion, especially in a foreign country
