Sportsnight

Archery:
Britain's compound women archers won team gold and individual silver and bronze medals at the second round of the World Cup in Croatia.
Nichola Simpson, Nicky Hunt and Lucy Holderness combined to beat France in the team event 209-205.
Simpson won the individual silver, edged out of gold by one point, by France's Amandine Bouillot, while Andrea Gales secured the bronze medal.
Men's compound team, Neil Wakelin, Liam Grimwood and Adam Shaw also won bronze.

Badminton:
Anthony Clark and Donna Kellogg won the European Championships mixed doubles title with Kellogg and Gail Emms winning silver in the women's doubles.
Kellogg also won silver last week in the team competition. Presumably, the rest of this mysterious team also won silvers: who they are, how many - who knows? I’d email, but, you know what, I’m still waiting for a reply to the swimming one!

Gymnastics:
Beth Tweddle won the silver medal in the floor exercise at the women's European Championships in France.

Sailing:
Andrea Brewster boosted her hopes of qualifying for the Olympics by winning the bronze medal at the Laser Radial World Championships in New Zealand.

Triathlon:
Northampton's 2007 Junior World and European triathlon champion, Hollie Avil, grabbed a stunning bronze as Britain's triathletes impressed at the World Cup in Japan.
