Archery: Nichola Simpson is assured of at least a silver medal, having won through to the women's compound gold medal match at the latest World Cup event in France. This should also clinch her place at this year's World Cup Grand Final in Switzerland.
Britain's women’s team of Alison Williamson, Naomi Folkard and Charlotte Burgess, collected their second World Cup medal of the season, adding a bronze to April's gold.
Mountain Bike World Championships, Val di Sole: Gee Atherton won gold, with team mate Steve Peat taking silver in the men's elite event, whilst Rachel Atherton, Gee’s sister, secured gold in the women‘s race, almost twelve seconds clear of her nearest rival. Josh Bryceland made it three golds for Britain, in the junior men's downhill, with compatriot Sam Dale taking the silver behind him.
Rowing: Five more medals for Team GB in the Olympic-class finals at the World Cup in Poland. Gold Winners were Zac Pruchase and Mark Hunter in the lightweight doubles, Laverick and Babington in the women's double sculls and the men's eights. The men's four of Tom James, Steve Williams, Peter Reed and Andy Hodge, the chosen team together for the first time this season following injury, took silver while the women's eight claimed bronze. The performances meant Great Britain won the overall title at the final World Cup of the season.
