Sportsnight (abridged and late - sorry, busy weekend!)

Diving:
Congratulations to 13 year old diver Tom Daley, the new European Champion, winning the 10m platform title in Holland. He produced immaculate dives in rounds four and five, earning four 10’s from the judges.

Sailing:
Nick Dempsey and Paul Goodison matched Ben Ainslie's success to make it a hat-trick of gold medals for Great Britain at the Princess Sofia Trophy.
Dempsey and Goodison won the RS:X windsurfing and the single-handed Laser class respectively in Palma, Majorca.
Nick Thompson, Goodison's team-mate and training partner, ensured a British one-two in the Laser event.
Britain's sailors overcame big waves and wind speeds in excess of 20 knots in Palma bay to take their final medal tally for the European circuit event to three golds, two silvers and one bronze.
Triple Olympic medallist Ainsle, 31, topped the Finn leaderboard with a day to spare.
World champions Sarah Ayton, Sarah Webb and Pippa Wilson won silver in the Yngling women's keelboat fleet, while Christina Bassadone and Saskia Clark clinched bronze in the 470 women's race.
