EVENTING
Tina Cook on Monday began reflecting on the
"incredibly special" feeling of being crowned European
eventing champion. The Sussex-based rider capped a memorable weekend
for Great Britain at Le Grand Parquet by landing her first European
individual title on Miners Frolic. With Cook, William Fox-Pitt,
Nicola Wilson and Oliver Townend securing an eighth successive
European team gold, there was plenty to celebrate for Britain's
sizeable contingent of travelling support.
CYCLING
Cadel Evans became the first Australian to win road
cycling's world championship with an heroic last-lap charge on a day
which demonstrated how far away the British team are from the medals
in the men's event. Evans, 32, defied his reputation as cycling's
nearly man to win the rainbow jersey ahead of Russia's Alexandr
Kolobnev, who took silver, and Joaquin Rodriguez of Spain in third.
MOTOR CYCLING
Noriyuki Haga regained the lead of the World Superbike
Championship as the Ducati team enjoyed a dream home round of the
series at Imola In Italy. Japanese rider Haga and team-mate Michel
Fabrizio took a win apiece as Yamaha rider Ben Spies, Haga's
principal title rival, endured a frustrating day at the Bologna
track. Haga now holds a three-point lead at the top of the standings
with just two rounds of the season remaining
Leon Camier clinched the British Superbike crown with
victory in the first race of the penultimate round at Silverstone.
The Airwaves Yamaha rider powered to his 17th victory of the season
as he grabbed the initiative from his team-mate James Ellison on the
penultimate lap. Camier won by 0.244 secs after 20 laps.
ATHLETICS
Kenneth Mungara ran the fastest time ever on Canadian
soil, clocking two hours, eight minutes and 32 seconds when defending
his Toronto Marathon title. The Kenyan defeated the Ethiopian pair of
Chala Lemi and Gashaw Asfaw who clocked 2hr 8min 48sec and 2hr 9min
23sec respectively Amana Gobena set a new women's course record of
2hr 28min 31sec ahead of defending champion Mulu Seboka.
EQUESTRIAN
Great Britain completed a stunning week's work by
landing team and individual gold at the HSBC FEI European Eventing
Championships. An eighth successive team title was secured by the
landslide margin of 92.70 points as Tina Cook, William Fox-Pitt,
Nicola Wilson and Oliver Townend took centre-stage. And Cook, a
double Olympic bronze-medallist in Hong Kong last year, landed her
first European individual crown by 0.6 points from shock British
success story Piggy French. |
