EQUESTRIAN
John Whitaker showcased all his experience to win the
opening class on the final day of the Longines Royal International
Horse Show at Hickstead. The 54-year-old British star produced a
masterful ride on Voss to land the Royal International Accumulator.
The accumulator sees points awarded for fences jumped, with a maximum
score of 65 available.
ATHLETICS
Jessica Ennis admitted
she suffered a few nervous moments before adding the European
heptathlon crown to the world title she won last year. Ennis led from
start to finish as she cruised to victory in Berlin last year but was
given a far tougher time by Olympic champion Nataliya Dobrynska in
Barcelona, eventually winning by just 45 points.
Mo Farah completed an
historic long-distance double at the European Championships in
Barcelona on Saturday. Farah, who won the 10,000 metres title on the
opening night of competition, added the 5,000m to become the first
British athlete to do the double, and the first since Italy's
Salvatore Antibo in 1990.
Dai Greene led
Britain's second one-two of the European Championships in Barcelona,
claiming gold in the 400 metres hurdles ahead of team-mate Rhys
Williams on Saturday. Greene powered to a commanding
victory in 48.12 seconds, lowering his own leading time in Europe
this year with a new personal best. And Williams, son of former Wales
rugby winger JJ Williams, survived misjudging he final hurdle to
claim silver in 48.96secs, also a new personal best. Ukraine's
Stanislav Melnykov took bronze.
Michael Rimmer claimed
Britain's 12th medal of the European Championships with silver in the
men's 800 metres in Barcelona on Saturday night. Rimmer looked on
course to claim Britain's first gold in the event since Tom McKean in
1990 when he took over the lead with around 250 metres to go. The
24-year-old from Southport battled bravely down the home straight but
was finally overtaken by Poland's Marcin Lewandowski just metres from
the line. |
