was a nice, unexpected bonus. there was yet another gold for italy, though, from nadia battaglia with a national record and a personal best. there was a thrilling photo finish in the women's 200 metres. the defending champion, switzerland's mujinga cambage, just pipped britain's daryl nita to gold. both ran a season's best in that race, and nita afterwards said she was disappointed. but the night belonged to the world and olympic high jump champion gianmarco tamberi. it was like an exhibition out here. he was all on his own jumping where others had failed, and he defended his european title with his trademark half beard. such an entertainer. at one point, his shoe destructed, but he pulled on another pair and then cleared two metres 37 to set a new championship record. the noise here was absolutely incredible. he vaulted the barriers, celebrated with his family and friends before draping the flag over his shoulders and going off to celebrate with the italian president. so that meant that italy is still top of the medal table with 20 medals, ten golds. britain are in fifth

and the final day will see another crowd favourite, the world and olympic champion pole vaulter mondo dupla ntis. we've got the olympic champion jakob ingebrigtsen in the men's 1500 metres and all the madness of the relays and then the women's 800 metres, where british hopes are high of ending the championship with a gold for keely hodgkinson. football now, erik ten hag will remain as manager of manchester united following a post—season review by the club's board. united instigated their review immediately after the fa cup final in which they beat manchester city 2—1. ten hag went into the game amid a backdrop of reports claiming he was going to get the sack no matter what the result. a string of managers were also linked to the club with thomas tuchel thought to have spoken to the new united co—owner sirjim ratcliffe last week before ruling himself out of the running. the club's interest in mauricio pochettino also cooled even though he was available after his exit from chelsea. ten hag was informed of the decision on tuesdsay. it was a billed as a must win match for pakistan

to keep their slim slim hopes of qualifying for the t20 world cup super 8s alive and they delivered with a comfortable seven—wicket win over canada in new york. pakistan's first win of the competition. aaronjohnson hit four sixes — the joint most by any player in an innings at this ground — as he made an eye—catching 52 off 44 balls to help canada reach 106 for 7. but muhammad rizwan and babar azam's steady partnership meant pakistan were never really in danger of losing this one and it was usman khan who secured the final runs, and a vital win, they still need to beat ireland in florida on sunday and hope results and run rates go their way elsewhere. and golf's third major of the year gets under way on thursday. it's the us open at pinehurst number 2 in north carolina, but one

absentee will be spanish golfer jon rahm who has withdrawn due to an injury. meanwhie the defending champion wyndham clark says players need to become better at checking on each other�*s well—being. mental health has become a key focus since 30—year—old grayson murray walked off midway through a pga tour event last month and took his own life the next day. ijust think it's more of maybe, the caddies in the players, maybe checking in on each player and being like, "hey, man, how are you doing?" notjust how you playing golf, like, how are you doing handling that stuff? that's maybe more on the players to take initiative to do that because it is like i said, it's lonely and i've been in many low spots where, you know, you have some negative thoughts which are, you know, you don't ever want to have, but that's golf. golf can do that to you and you've got to do your best to not let it do that. well tiger woods, for the first time in his career, has had to rely on an invitation to play this week and despite struggling physically since his return from a car accident, he believes he's in the right shape to contend. i do.

i do feel like i have the strength to be able to do it. it's just a matter of doing it. this golf course is going to test every single aspect of your game, especially mentally and just the mental discipline that it takes to play this particular golf course. it's going to take a lot. emma raducanu got her grass—court season off to a winning start with a straight sets victory over japan's ena shibahara at the nottingham 0pen. the 2021 us open winner was playing in herfirst match since april, having opted to skip the french open to focus on her fitness. alex fletcher was watching. emma raducanu is back on grass after nearly . a full two years. time for a return for emma raducanu. a canoe injury has disrupted her grass court career but no signs of nottingham nerves early on a break of serve

in the opening game. and one break soon became two. accuracy in abundance. an all too much for her opponents closing out the opening set in just 31 minutes. and despite breaking twice in the second innings, ena shibahara could not stop the inevitable game set matter of the final. 713 days after she lost steps onto a grass court. emma raducanu winning on home turf. alex fletcher, bbc news. finally — there will be more mothers than ever representing britain at the 2024 olympics and paralympics. 0ur sports news correspondent laura scott has been speaking to four mothers vying for places at paris 2024. they are too young to understand, but there is a thread linking these boys and their toys.

there mums are all elite athletes vying for selection to the olympics and paralympics this summer. these four are part of a growing number trying to do both. but when hockey player joe pinna became the first in the gb squad to have a baby, she set about forming an athlete—mums group chat which has 50 members. we are all in different sports and print currencies and different expenses, just that awareness of we are not being alone. what i think we are good at is telling other if there are inconsistencies in how we are be treated are the benefits or support we receive. despite steps to make it easier for athletes to return after having children, like continuing their funding during pregnancy, challenges remain. i don't think it's offensive anymore, i don't think you are not going to be supported, ijust don't necessarily think that we thought of all the right ways in which the support mothers. how have you found that return and how do you view your body

and your body's responded to getting back to top level sport? it's a journey, isn't it? i wouldn't say i am back to where i would think iwould be, and i thought i would be back in it by now, but i think it is one of the things that is so unknown, you do not hold how your body will react, and i did not know how my body would react to having a disability as well. some feel they have become even better athletes. i'm faster than i was before, i've actually personal best on most of my lifts this year. i came to respect my subs in ways i wouldn't have before. what is the one area to think needs more focus? pelvic floor.

if you gets that cold and your coffee more you probably will watch yourself, it sounds awful, and i know there so many mums, not athletes of there, who think they have to keep quiet about it but they shouldn't. they hope that by highlighting short comes in what they experience, things will be better for the next generation of mothers. the biggest thing for me, that is meant to be the guinea pig, no one had to go through the samejourney and issues, which i think has been dealt with really well with maternal policies coming out, i'm excited for that to come out and for other people to try and do the same journey and see how many mums we end up with on the team. while sporting success still drives them, having children to come home to has given them a new perspective and an acceptance that not everything goes to plan. laura scott, bbc news. 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. it's felt quite pleasant in any strong june sunshine. but generally temperatures have been below par for this time of year and wednesday looks pretty similar to the last few days. some spells of sunshine, variable cloud and further showers mostly across eastern areas. i think there'll be fewer showers around on wednesday because this is a ridge of high pressure, will tend to kill the showers off. the winds will be lighter, but we're still got that blue hue, that cold arctic air hanging around for at least one more day before something milder starts to push in off the atlantic, but with wind and rain. so it's a chilly start to wednesday. temperatures could be in low single digits in some rural spots. these are towns and city values. a little bit of mist and fog where skies have cleared overnight, but it's here where you'll have the best of the sunshine, northern and western areas. a bit of cloud across eastern scotland, eastern england, one 01’ two showers. through the day, it'll be one of sunshine and showers, but the clouds will tend to build most of the showers

eastern areas, tending to stay drier towards the west with the best of the sunshine. so it could be up to 17 or 18 degrees in the sunniest spots, but generally cool, ten to 15 or 16 celsius. and then as we move through wednesday night, any showers fade away, lengthy, clear skies. the temperatures will tumble against mist and fog developing. temperatures in rural spots dipping close to freezing in a few places. generally, though, in the towns and cities, we're looking at 4 to eight degrees. now we'll start to see some changes into thursday. we change the wind direction, we lose that cooler air, something a bit milder. but this frontal system tied into low pressure will start to bring wet and windy weather initially into northern ireland, spreading across the irish sea, into western britain and pushing its way eastward. so we start dry with some early sunshine across eastern areas and it should stay dry, i think in eastern england, eastern scotland until after dark. we change the wind direction despite more cloud around 17 or 18 degrees. and it means thursday night will be milder. so a milder start to friday, but low pressure across the country bring stronger winds, sunshine and showers or longer spells of rain. some of these showers will be heavy and thundery, particularly across southern and western areas.

but despite that, in the sunshine, it'll feel a little bit warmer, maybe 19 or 20 degrees. not much change into the weekend, low pressure dominates the scene. it'll be breezy at times. there will be showers or longer spells of rain again, some of them heavy and thundery. but in the sunnier, brighter moments, it'llfeela bit warmer, 19 or 20 degrees. and another thing you'll notice, it will feel milder at night. take care.
