hello and welcome to sportsday. with less than seven weeks to go until the olympics, some contenders have been in action ahead of the global extravaganza in paris. our reporter natalie pirks rounds up the stories from the italian capital. another busy night night in rome with yet another gold for host italy to keep them on top of the medal table. on a british point of view, there were two medals, a silverfor charlie dobson in the men's aoom and a bronze for molly caudery in the women's pole vault finals. for charlie, another personal best in what is a fantastic season so far for him. he said he was over the moon and could not be happier to take silver in what was his first individual major 400 metre final. the race was won by belgium alexander doom

with a new championship record. molly caudery came into the pole vault final with the world leading height and as the world indoor champion but fell a little short by her standards and had to settle for bronze. the gold was won by switzerland's angelica moser, the only athlete to clear 4.78m. she was a little disappointed after quite literally setting the bar high for herself but is dreaming about her first olympics this summer and cannot wait to get there. the women's aoom final was a thrilling head to head down the back straight to poland's natalia kaczmarek and ireland's rhasidat adeleke. it was so close but the pole just cleared when it mattered to win gold. the fastest time from anyone in the world this year. adeleke set a new personal best to come second. day 5 is the penultimate day and we have the women's 200 metre final. there is the women's 10,000 metres and women's and men's a00m hurdles and it means this

crowd will get a chance to see a bona fide star, the world and olympic champion from norway karsten warholm. as natalie just mentioned, charlie dobson winning a silver medalfor britain in the men's a00m to gain his first major individual medal. this is what he had to say afterwards. i could not be happier with that. i think i executed the race perfectly. exactly the way me and my coach wanted to. unfortunately it was not the gold but more than happy to take silver, especially with a pb like that. one more round for selection and once that is done, stay fit and healthy and we will be in paris. to make it with the top guys especially ones i have watched in the past is incredible. to football and teams have begun arriving in germany as euro 2024 draws ever closer. the opening match will see hosts take on scotland in munich on friday and euro 2020 runners—up england have landed in deutschland,

italy arrived for their campaign on monday. italy come into the competition without the weight of the favourites tag over them, having endured a tricky qualifying campaign. clinching second place in group c behind england. they have since had the misfortune of being placed in arguably the toughest group alongside heavyweights spain, experienced side croatia and perhaps the dark horses albania. croatia are at their team base. they began their campaign against spain in a tantalising tie in berlin on saturday. then albania, followed by the defending champions italy. portugal and cristiano ronaldo haven't quite left for germany yet — they are continuing preparations for the tournament at their their training camp outside lisbon, after losing 2—1 against croatia on saturday. portugal has one more friendly

against the republic of ireland on tuesday before they start their competition against the czech republic onjune 18 in leipzig. three valencia fans have been sentenced to eight months in prison, in what is the first conviction for racism at a football match in spain. it comes as a direct result of a complaint filed by la liga. brazilian forward vinicius jr was subjected to the chants at valencia's mestalla stadium in may last year. as well as facing prison sentences the three fans were also banned from la liga matches and spain internationals for two years. la liga presidentjavier tebas called the verdict "great news for the fight against racism in spain." real madrid and manager carlo ancelotti have clarified that the champions league winners will compete at next year's club world cup despite the italian earlier saying the club would "refuse the invitation". carlo ancelotti made the comments in an interview with the italian newspaper il giornale, where he also claimed other clubs will refuse to play

in the enlarged 32—team competition due to be held in the united states. ancelotti now says his comments were misinterpreted while real madrid say they'll play "with pride and with the utmost enthusiasm". our chief football news reporter simon stone has more he gave an interview in italy in which he said that real madrid would have 12 european clubs do to play in the club world cup at the end of the 2a—25 season would not be participating in it because basically, they had not been offered to play in it. i spoke to the european clubs association not long after her and said they did not understand where the comments had come from, 11 of the european clubs apart from real madrid who are competing in america next year are in the eca and as far as they were concerned, they were all competing and they did not understand the comment. then real madrid put

a statement out in which they said that they had never spoken about not playing in the competition and that as far as they were concerned, they would be involved and then a few moments after that, and szilagyi himself put a statement out saying, his comments had not been interpreted the way they thought he would be. carlo and szilagyi. i'm not sure what he thought the interpretation would be putting on them but that is what he said so real madrid along with the 11 other european clubs will be playing in the club world cup at the end of next season. the t20 world cup now. bangladesh came close to a surprise victory. bangladesh's bowlers putting on a superb display south africa to 23—1; at one stage. on a tricky pitch reaching 113 for six of their 20 overs. bangladesh make a decent run chase and slight favourites heading to blast over.

this is how close they got, the six required off the lost two balls, caught on the boundary ensues away from the win. south africa in the end taking the match by four runs on the brink of qualifying for their group. and it's official, history made on monday. jannik sinner is the first italian to become men's world number one in tennis. sinner won the australian open earlier this year and secured his position at the top of the atp rankings by reaching the semi—finals of the french open, where he was beaten by eventual champion carlos alcaraz. sinner replaces novak djokovic after the serb withdrew from roland garros before his own quarter—final. the 22—year—old say there's plenty more to come.

i was happy and it was some relief now, what i have dreamed of since i was little kid, it was only a dream that day and now i know i can say i am world number one, it means a lot to me. it took some time, that is for sure. but it was a very nice feeling. the meaning of world number one i think is the biggest meaning we have in our sport. it is the best number you can have and as i said already, this is everyone�*s dream to be in this position and obviously it is an important grand slam and masters event and to be number one in the world is an achievement, what you build in one year time and now obviously we see how much you can stay there. that's all the time we have for now. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app, orfrom our website — that's bbc.com/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye.

hello, there. for most of us, it has been a disappointing start to the week, in terms of the weather. a frequent rash of showers, particularly across scotland, gusts of winds coming from the north, and in excess of 30 mph, at times. temperatures struggled to get into double figures, but it was a slightly different story, further south and west. just look at anglesey — beautiful afternoon, lots of sunshine and temperatures peaked at around 18 or 19 degrees. high pressure is continuing to nudge its way in from the west, so west will be best, through the course of tuesday. there's still likely to be a few showers around, but hopefully few and further between. most frequent showers, certainly, are going to be across eastern scotland and down through eastern england. so, sunny spells and scattered showers going

into the afternoon. that will have an impact with the temperature, 1a or 15 degrees, but again, with a little more shelter, a little more sunshine, 17 or 18 celsius not out of the question. a few scattered showers moving their way through northern ireland and scotland. hopefully, some of these will ease through the afternoon, but you can see those temperatures still really struggling — ten to 15 degrees at the very best. now, as we move out of tuesday into wednesday, this little ridge of high pressure will continue to kill off the showers. so, wednesday is likely to be the driest day of the week — and make the most of it — there's more rain to come, but it will be a pretty chilly start, once again, to wednesday morning. single figures right across the country, low single figures in rural spots. but, hopefully, the showers should be a little bit few and further between and more favoured spots for those showers, once again, to the east of the pennines. more sunshine out to the west. temperatures, generally, similar values to what we've seen all week, 10 to 18 degrees the high, but the wind direction will start to change, as we move into thursday. unfortunately, towards the end of the week, this low pressure

will take over. we'll see further spells of rain at times, some of it heavy. but the wind direction will play its part, a little — a south—westerly wind means that we will see temperatures climbing a degree or so. don't expect anything too significant, because we've got the cloud and the rain around. but it's not out of the question that across eastern and southeast england, we could see highs of 20 celsius. take care.
