EQUESTRIAN
Great Britain's showjumpers claimed a second
successive fourth place finish as the FEI Nations Cup series
continued in Rome. The British quartet of Nick Skelton, Ben Maher,
Peter Charles and Robert Smith ended level with Nations Cup holders
France and Germany, each collecting four points. Holland took top
spot after clear rounds by Eric van der Vleuten and Harrie Smolders,
plus one time fault from Gerco Schroder, meant they triumphed without
their final rider needing to jump.
ROWING
Great Britain had a successful start to the World
Rowing Cup in Munich on Friday as 12 of their 14 Olympic-class boats
won their respective opening time trials.
ATHLETICS
Usain Bolt marked his return to major competition
after a 10-month absence by sweeping to victory in the men's 100
metres at the Diamond League meeting in Rome on Thursday night. The
world record holder shrugged off a poor start to overhaul his
Jamaican compatriot Asafa Powell and win in 9.91 seconds. Powell was
second in 9.93 with Frenchman Christophe Lemaitre in third. |
