A real pleasure to speak to the brilliant Paula Blasi and her DS Cherie Pridham about her stunning wins at La Vuelta and Amstel Gold and her rapid rise from promising 800m runner to one of the world's best riders (thanks in part to her car breaking down)

So sad to see today's news about Ciara Mageean. 34 feels a life only half lived but some athletes won't leave a mark like this in their entire career. What a performance and what an image to leave behind.
Superb. Remember hearing @prodnose once describe a header like this as being below sea level
Does the VAR know we have goal line technology now? Someone should tell them. #AVLFUL
How awful that people would help others less fortunate than themselves.
The end of #CelebrityTraitors was the most BBC thing EVER.
Because of COURSE the two winners are donating their winnings - our licence fee money - to a charity for refugees and a charity for "queer" refugees.

The Ocean Cleanup is now $40M/year short of what’s needed to stop up to 1/3rd of all plastic flowing into the oceans by 2030.
That’s less than 1% of what America spends on Halloween decorations each year.
Getting major fomo from reading @DavidWalshST's column on his son Conor's epic and inspiring cycling trip across the world. Seriously brave as well, riding it solo. Cycling is truly the best way to experience a country

The new crime survey is out - the "Lawless Britain" picture in full
- Violence at lowest since records began in 1981
- Corroborated by hospital figures for knife wounds
- Robbery: record low
- Overall crime 78% below 1995 peak.
- Shoplifting up

Just hoping Jon Champion heard Benítez's pronunciation of Araujo in the half-time analysis and goes with that instead of whatever that interpretation was in the first half
Possibly the most feeble, pointless response imaginable from the Portuguese FA. Like being suspended from school during the summer holidays
Cristiano Ronaldo will be available for selection for Portugal’s next games despite being handed a 30-day suspension after falling out with the head coach | ✍️ @CharDuncker thetimes.com/sport/football/…
Putting the brakes on! Lol!
Parking should be straightforward, not another everyday hassle.
Today we’re putting the brakes on rip-off parking charges - meaning drivers get a fairer deal, protections from being unfairly charged, and confidence that private parking providers are held to a higher standard.
It's yet another step forward in this government’s plan to take the stress out of everyday life and ease the pressure on people's pockets.

Hundreds of years ago, a man invented this magnificent musical instrument. Then, another man composed this wondrous piece of music. And now, here I am, witnessing this brilliant performance. Life is truly a miracle.
On fire 😂 Assuming the person tweeting this didn't see the game... yes Barcola set up the winner but otherwise was really poor. Missed a one on one first half, then butchered a 3 on 2 and a 3 on 1 in the second. Far too hesitant and indecisive at key moments.

3 golds for Anna Morris this week as her & Erin Boothman win the Madison, to add to Omnium & TP golds 🌈🌈🌈
I make that the first time an endurance female rider has won the 3 Olympic events at track Worlds (since the Madison was introduced in 2017)
