6:34 pm
second quickest in their qualifying run of the men's team sprint. under the women's team pursued, team gb also made it through the qualifying rounds, but they finished over five seconds behind world champions germany, and that is who they will face in round one tomorrow. after team gb�*s rowing struggles in tokyo, the european championships will offer a good chance for some redemption. they only won two medals in tokyo, one of which came in the men's eights, and here in munich, they came first in the prelims, meaning that they will get the best lane for the final. and it was very comfortable in the women's pairs heats, qualifying for the final on saturday. and surrounded by the history of a new era of the championships was getting under way

6:39 pm
chose to bowl first. before they got started there, sportsday�*s holly hamilton caught up with the invincibles' bowler mady villiers. the success has been bigger than we had hoped, to be honest, and because we get a lot of children at our games, lots of families, we have family seconds in the grounds, yeah, just keep getting kids in. and they have to bring their parents, so keep getting them in the grounds. the women's game has been in the spotlight so much recently. the hundred has a part to play in that, and we have the commonwealth games, dt 20 being played there for the first time. as a player, do you feel there has been a shift recently? if you look at the lionesses and the euros, that was just off
6:40 pm
the scale, and women's sport in general isjust going through the roof. so, yeah, there has been a shift, but there still a long way to go, and hopefully this year, we can make more steps in doing that. and with that momentum, it does have its downsides, this week we heard australia's skipper meg lanning saying she would step away from the international game, much like ben stokes for england, and at the time, he blamed the heavy schedule. quite, there was too much cricket. do you feel that is a problem in the women's game?— feel that is a problem in the women's came? , ., ,. , women's game? demand schedule is ridiculous, they _ women's game? demand schedule is ridiculous, they play _ women's game? demand schedule is ridiculous, they play so _ women's game? demand schedule is ridiculous, they play so much - ridiculous, they play so much cricket, but we are at a phase where we want to get out and we want to see people see us playing cricket, but there is also a fine line between us to be too much and not being accessible and not being viewed, so you do have to be careful, but, personally, i have not felt like that this year, but like i said, the international players have played a lot more international cricket than us.— played a lot more international cricket than us. let's focus on the hundred once _ cricket than us. let's focus on the hundred once again, _ cricket than us. let's focus on the hundred once again, going - cricket than us. let's focus on the hundred once again, going to - cricket than us. let's focus on the hundred once again, going to be| cricket than us. let's focus on the | hundred once again, going to be a busy couple of weeks. looking at some other teams, who do you think
6:41 pm
your biggest competition is going to be? a lot of strong australian players in their once again. essen players in their once again. even without meg _ players in their once again. even without meg lanning, _ players in their once again. even without meg lanning, trent players in their once again. exam without meg lanning, trent rockets, they have got a lot, but the australians just bring a different dimension to the game. we have spoken about it quite a lot. you cannot look past their success, and their enemies and —— they are amazing cricketers. trent rockets are a great site, but so are we, so... who knows? mady villiers. the jury hearing the case against the former manchester united footballer ryan giggs has been shown police bodycam footage of his ex—girlfriend claiming he had hit her many times before. mr giggs' defence barrister accused kate greville of "prolifically" lying to the police. the 48—year—old former footballer is accused of using controlling
6:42 pm
and coercive behaviour and assaulting ms greville. he denies all the charges. our sports news correspondent, laura scott, was in court. the body can footage that was played in court was from the night that ryan giggs allegedly assaulted kate greville and her sister. miss greville and her sister. miss greville told police mr diggs had split her lip by headbutting her, which he denies. she also claimed he had hit and had bedded her before, but today set her head had been all over the place. she was asked why she had chosen to spend lockdown with the former footballer if he was as she claims a serial and violent abuser stub she said he could be very charming and she was ashamed she had gone back to him, describing that period as a living hell, it fiction that was challenged by the defence. miss greville admitted that in late 2020 she had lied to mr giggs, that a smear test had revealed she had cancerous cells and she had had her reproductive coil removed... it was put to her it would not make sense to have a baby with someone who she considered to
6:43 pm
be a violent, coercive individual. miss greville responded, it would not make sense at all. that wasn't what the plan was. some desperately sad and shocking news in rugby league today. the australian coach and former player paul green has died at the age of 49. police have confirmed there are no suspicious circumstances. he was one of the most prominent coaching figures in the sport and was the current coach of queensland in the state of origin series. after retiring as a player, green guided north queensland cowboys to their first nrl title back in 2015. tributes coming in from across the sport today. the cowboys, say they "will forever remember paul as one of the greatest contributors in cowboys history." cronulla, where green spent the majority of his playing career, call it... ..whilst queensland say "forever maroon". all in honour of paul green, who has died at the age of 49. you're watching sportsday. let's have a quick look at some
6:44 pm
of today's other sports stories. from the world of football, england defender millie bright has signed a new three—year contract with her club chelsea. she's the team's longest—serving player and has won 12 major trophies. the premier league will have drinks breaks during this weekend's games because of the hot weather across the country. temperatures could be as high as 37 degrees, with the efl also implementing the break when it goes above 30 at any match. and motherwell have appointed steven hammell as their new manager. he's a former defender at the scottish premiership club and the holder of their post—war appearance record. hammell had been in interim charge since the departure of graham alexander. now, there's a quirk in football where the first press conference a new player or manager does is called an unveiling. it's never been a particularly accurate word to use. i mean, there's never any surprise about the person who walks through the door to answer
6:45 pm
the media's questions. raheem sterling has already played for chelsea after moving from manchester city for nearly £50 million. but there he was, being "unveiled" this afternoon. well, the england forward says his new club is "tailor—made" for him afterfinding himself more on the fringes at the premier league champions. asa as a person you always strive to achieve stuff. ijust on my time at city was getting limited on playing time for different reasons, and it is not one i can afford to waste more time, because when i look back in the future, i never wanted to look back and see a rising and a decline, so my thing was i needed to keep that same level, and a fresh challenge was to be made. to get to a deep part of my career, not to be playing regular would not be some that i would accept. my personality etc and and change the scenario, but
6:46 pm
he couldn't come, and that was it. look at chelsea the last couple of years, it is a team that shows a lot and they are only going to get better, and for me, with the new ownership, it only made a lot of sense. olympic curling champion eve muirhead, who led team gb to gold in beijing earlier this year, has announced her retirement from the sport, describing it as "the hardest decision of her life". as for what she does next, muirhead, who is also the european and world mixed doubles champion, told fans to "watch this space". jane lewis has been speaking to her this afternoon. here is your pride and joy, the gold medalfrom the olympics, here is your pride and joy, the gold medal from the olympics, eve. here is your pride and joy, the gold medalfrom the olympics, eve. this medal from the olympics, eve. this obviously has _ medal from the olympics, eve. this obviously has to _ medal from the olympics, eve. try 3 obviously has to be my favourite one. �* , ., , obviously has to be my favourite one. ~ , ., , ., ., ., one. and six months on from that olden one. and six months on from that golden moment, _ one. and six months on from that golden moment, today _ one. and six months on from that golden moment, today marks - one. and six months on from that - golden moment, today marks another momentous moment. i golden moment, today marks another momentous moment.— momentous moment. i don't think an hint momentous moment. i don't think anything made _ momentous moment. i don't think anything made the _ momentous moment. i don't think anything made the decision - momentous moment. i don't think anything made the decision easy. l momentous moment. i don't thinkj anything made the decision easy. i took a lot of time to make sure i made the right decision, mainly for myself, and i do think that this was
6:47 pm
the time, this was the time to hang up my the time, this was the time to hang up my curling shoes from elite level and, as you say, i've had such a stellar season, and, as you say, i've had such a stellarseason, it's and, as you say, i've had such a stellar season, it's always nice to go out on the top. it was the hardest decision i've ever had to make because it's very hard to say goodbye to the kind of training aspect of going into the national curling academy every single day, travelling the world, living out a suitcase, but then again there's life on the other side of curling, isn't there? and that's what they want to explore.— want to explore. there's been so many highs- _ want to explore. there's been so many highs- so _ want to explore. there's been so many highs. so many _ want to explore. there's been so many highs. so many battles. i l want to explore. there's been so - many highs. so many battles. i think i know the answer, but many fantastic eilish to my career, standing on top of that podium, winning the other gold medal was the highlight. winning the other gold medal was the hiuuhliht. �* . h winning the other gold medal was the hiuuhliht. �* ., h , ., winning the other gold medal was the hiuuhliht. �* ., �*, , ., ., highlight. britain's girls have got the old! highlight. britain's girls have got the gold! and — highlight. britain's girls have got the gold! and i _ highlight. britain's girls have got the gold! and i think _ highlight. britain's girls have got the gold! and i think my - highlight. britain's girls have got. the gold! and i think my emotions definitely showed _ the gold! and i think my emotions definitely showed that. _ the gold! and i think my emotions definitely showed that. winning i the gold! and i think my emotions. definitely showed that. winning the world championships as a lady was also one of my big highlights, but
6:48 pm
then again, small things like winning four world junior titles as well, and the list does go on, and there is times as well that i realised how lucky i am and one of them being competing at the winter olympic games with my two brothers. andy question on everyone's lips — what is next? i andy question on everyone's lips - what is next?— andy question on everyone's lips - what is next? i honestly do not know what is next? i honestly do not know what is next? i honestly do not know what is next — what is next? i honestly do not know what is next for _ what is next? i honestly do not know what is next for me. _ what is next? i honestly do not know what is next for me. i _ what is next? i honestly do not know what is next for me. i will _ what is next? i honestly do not know what is next for me. i will be - what is next for me. i will be down south golfing tomorrow. i have arranged golf games with friends which i would not have done, and just spending a lot of time with usually. and hopefully there will be opportunities that come my way. i am really excited about the future, but i'm also scared as well. i am excited but scared. when you don't know what is around the corner, you are a little scared, but it is good scared, i think. are a little scared, but it is good scared, ithink. i are a little scared, but it is good scared, i think. i would just be here in scotland and, yeah, see what happens. nearly 30 years ago,
6:49 pm
millions tuned in to watch the rematch between chris eubank and nigel benn, the second fight of a rivalry that defined a generation of boxers who transcended their sport. now, a rematch of another kind. their respective sons — conor benn and chris eubankjr, both world class fighters themselves — this week signed a deal to meet in october. chrier was only a toddler when a eubank last fought a benn. but has he watched those old fights since? my my father always kept me out of his life when he came to boxing. i was not allowed to go to his fights, i was not allowed to watch them on tv. he for some really understood what he was, i went to a sleepover —— the first time i really understood. i must have been like ten. i spent the night at my mate's house and he had a boxing, like a vhs collection, and i am just scrolling through it, in those days, i am looking at all of them, and there was my old man, and
6:50 pm
nigel benn on the front cover of this vhs tape. we popped it in and i watched it, and i was the first time i see my dad fight. as for when i realised, this is why... pictures and all this stuff, i never really understood it until that moment, so it is crazy to think that 30 years on after they fought, i am fighting nigel benn's son. ie: on after they fought, i am fighting nigel benn's son.— on after they fought, i am fighting nigel benn's son. 15 million people lus nigel benn's son. 15 million people [us watch nigel benn's son. 15 million people plus watch to _ nigel benn's son. 15 million people plus watch to that _ nigel benn's son. 15 million people plus watch to that rematch, - nigel benn's son. 15 million people plus watch to that rematch, the - nigel benn's son. 15 million people| plus watch to that rematch, the one that was a 1993 that will be 29 years almost to the day before you meet connor. he was an expert in every rivalry, washed by a lot of people —— it was every rivalry, washed by a lot of people -- it was an every rivalry, washed by a lot of people —— it was an extraordinary rivalry. how much do you know about how that rivalry was bitter, was it real, did he feel it, has he told you about that part of it? he definitely — you about that part of it? he: definitely felt it. you watch the fight, he was feeling at all that
6:51 pm
whole fight. it was a vicious, grueling, battle. isaw whole fight. it was a vicious, grueling, battle. i saw the pain, whole fight. it was a vicious, grueling, battle. isaw the pain, i saw the training, i saw the sacrifice. i lived through all of that with him. so i have a responsibility to uphold the eubank name once again stop what you mentioned responsibility. is that part of you that was a bit reticent to part of you that was a bit reticent t. ., ~ ., part of you that was a bit reticent to take on this fight, because of what went _ to take on this fight, because of what went before, _ to take on this fight, because of what went before, what - to take on this fight, because of what went before, what you - to take on this fight, because of what went before, what you two to take on this fight, because of - what went before, what you two dads and how important that was? and how much of a big deal it was for some people at the time, when boxing was massive, mainstream and millions of people watching on the tv? ii people watching on the tv? if anything, that past and that history made me want the fight even more. it is a deeply personal affair, and that's what the public alike. they like a fight, they like, you know, something they can really get
6:52 pm
behind, that's real.— something they can really get behind, that's real. final question for now, chris, _ behind, that's real. final question for now, chris, is, _ behind, that's real. final question for now, chris, is, have _ behind, that's real. final question for now, chris, is, have you - behind, that's real. final question | for now, chris, is, have you spoken to your dad about this since this announcement? and indeed, has your dad spoken to nigel benn? i bade announcement? and indeed, has your dad spoken to nigel benn?— dad spoken to nigel benn? i have no idea if my old _ dad spoken to nigel benn? i have no idea if my old man _ dad spoken to nigel benn? i have no idea if my old man spoke to - dad spoken to nigel benn? i have no idea if my old man spoke to nigel, i idea if my old man spoke to nigel, and i've yet to speak to my dad about the fight since it was announced. he's travelling at the moment, so we've lost communication, but we've still got eight and half weeks, so we will have the conversations, and i'm sure you guys will hear about it in the coming weeks. certainly will ask him about that. that is chris eubankjunior. we have been to the munich championships in munich. separately, the swimming chipjets are underweight in rome. ——
6:53 pm
the european aquatics also began today. and great britain have won a silver medal in the women's it by 200m freestyle — the team of freya anderson, lucy hope, freya colbert and medi harris finished behind the netherlands. hungary were third. the men could only finish 6th in theirfinal. next to the third of our sporting championships, the para—cycling road world championships are under way in canada. double paralympic silver medallist fin graham is part of a 14—strong british team. he'll be taking part in the time trial tomorrow and the road race on sunday, but he's not had the best preparation after catching covid recently. it is the hardest race every year. everyone wants to win thatjersey and, yeah, it is going to be good going back to where i know i have done well before, but, yeah, i know... i am done well before, but, yeah, i know... iam not done well before, but, yeah, i know... i am not going to let that pressure get to meet, almost. i'm just kind of go in and enjoy it like i always do, and hopefully i can then come away with the result. i have had covid and... i did not test positive for long, but i am still on the bike. i am not sure i am 100%
6:54 pm
just yet. last week, during the training session of my heart rate was over 200 beats per minute over five minutes, and that is a lot higher than it would normally be, so again, injuries happen, things like this happen. i'm going to go give it my best shot, essentially for some it might not be the best timing, but i feel like i it might not be the best timing, but ifeel like i am improving every day. no, definitely not been ideal preparation, but thatjust makes it, if the result comes, all the more sweeter. much of the talk after the commonwealth games, like every major sporting event held in the uk, is about legacy. but one thing that could come from birmingham's games won't have been a feature of any that preceded it. could it have opened the door for e—sports to be included as an official sport in the future? more than 100 players, representing 20 different nations, took part in the inaugural commonwealth championships, which was a test event in birmingham. our cyber reporter
6:55 pm
joe tidy has more. and there is your champion. yeah, massive achievement for malaysia... for the players, it didn't matter that this was just the test event. you can see the emotion. haikal is a gold medalist. this is for my country. this is my dream. for five years, i waiting this. the commonwealth e—sports championships had everything you look for in traditional sports. the highs... ..the lows and the rivalries. these two teams are at each other�*s throats. for well—known welsh rocket league player euan ingram, aka tadpole, taking gold here was the perfect end to the 24—year—old's playing career. to represent wales is something i've waited for for a long, long time. it's my final game as a player. i've retired now and to retire on this note is obviously incredible. 100 players from 20 different commonwealth countries travelled to birmingham for the inaugural championships. hey, guys, we're representing jamaica. team australia. india.
6:56 pm
representing south africa. team england. singapore. really well played from singapore. i'm just really, really happy it's moving to something so, so much greater and it's gaining its reputation, it's gaining a bigger name and people are recognising e—sports as, like, actual sports. medals were contested by male and female teams in dota2, rocket league and efootball — three games with hundreds of millions of players and fans the world over. audiences online and in the arena weren't huge, but this was about testing out the format and how to put on a commonwealth event like no other. and the president was very enthusiastic. there are a lot of young people who don't play sport, per se, out in the playing field or something like that, but they are playing sport on a games console and there's a lot of those people we need to capture. we think this is a place for our young people. going forward, this will be a sport within the games. that's my personal opinion. so it seems highly likely that full commonwealth medals will be
6:57 pm
contested in e—sports at the next games, with potential inclusion as early as next year — at the youth games in trinidad and tobago. officials seem convinced that e—sports have a place in the biggest sporting events. but what about the general public? lots of people play them, as much as people, like, play outdoor sports, as well. so i guess it's a skill, isn't it? for me, it's not a sport. it's not the same thing. provided we keep the physical part of the game in— the commonwealth games, i think, yeah, why not? - even for some of the players, the experience of being compared to commonwealth athletes has been odd. i would consider myself an athlete, but not in the same regard as the actual professional athletes. i would probably say an e—athlete. so although e—sports inclusion is closer than ever, the idea will definitely take some getting used to. joe tidy, bbc news, in birmingham. and that's all we have time for on
6:58 pm
sportsday. the opening women's hundred continues on bbc two, the gymnastics is on the red button, but thatis gymnastics is on the red button, but that is all from us for now. goodbye. hello there. the heatwave continues for the rest of this week. there is a met office amber weather warning in force, the second highest level of alert, for extreme heat. it's valid until the end of the day on sunday for much of england, as far north as manchester, leeds and sheffield and into eastern areas of wales. on friday, already, a warmer start to the day. it's not hot everywhere. cooler and cloudier for the northwest of scotland. there could be some cloud, too, lapping onshore for north sea—facing coasts. certainly a cooler day for eastern scotland, but temperatures elsewhere rising to the low 30s. maybe 3a, 35 celsius for parts of the midlands and towards the west of london. now, overnight on friday, very uncomfortable for sleeping but also clear skies around. temperatures may not drop below the high teens in celsius for many,
6:59 pm
and then on saturday, the heat continues to build. away from these eastern—facing coasts, there will be lots of blue sky, strong sunshine. temperatures could get as high in some spots as 37 degrees.
