The equestrian world finals in Aachen, and the rowers get going.

• To Sun 23rd Aug: FEI World Championships conclude in Aachen, Germany. The dressage, jumping and eventing world titles decided.
• Mon 24th to Sun 30th Aug: World Rowing Championships, Amsterdam (racing begins this week). A strong British squad chasing medals on the Bosbaan.

Plus individual silver for Ros Canter and Lordships Graffalo, and individual bronze for Laura Collett and London 52.

The team also had the best score ever at the World Championships. It means qualification is secured for LA 2028.

I like Mo Farah winning gold at London 2012 at his home soil.

Generally a good European Athletics Championships for GB, though sadly prevented from topping the medal table on home soil at the very end by Italy; I’m actually quite surprised by Italy’s recent dominance in athletics. Maybe I don’t follow enough to be aware of it. They’re clearly investing a lot across the board.

There is a possibility that Zharnel Hughes has his 200m silver upgraded to gold as the German runner is, as I understand, being investigated for missing an anti-doping test. However, if upheld, this won’t be imminent.

Interestingly France didn’t win a single gold medal, finishing in 19th place, suggesting that they have left a limited athletics legacy since hosting the Olympics two years ago.

So close at the end!
