  • Pidcock wins Britain's first individual gold this Olympics

    TOM PIDCOCK thrillingly retained his mountain bike cross-country Olympic title – despite suffering from a puncture.

    Two weeks after he was forced to quit the Tour de France after being struck down by Covid, the Leeds rider, 24, claimed back-to-back gold medals.

    As temperatures topped 28 degrees, Pidcock led the race after three laps but then surrendered 36 seconds when his front wheel burst and he needed mechanics to fit a replacement.
    The officials raced around desperately to fix the issue but Pidcock remained relaxed and was not waving his arm around in anger.

    Amazingly, he fought his way back through the field to overtake Frenchman Victor Koretzky and also held off South Africa rival Alan Hatherly.

    On the final lap, he battled with Koretzky – the pair exchanged the lead a few times – and it got so fierce that they collided. That proved decisive as Pidcock used his momentum to power past the home favourite to win in a time of 1:26:22, finishing nine seconds ahead.

    The way he managed to put aside the tyre mishap and claim the glory is testament to his character and his mountain biking skills.
    There was a wonderful image of him taking on a jump as he had a water bottle in his mouth.

    This victory represents Britain’s first individual gold medal of the Paris Olympics.

  • Novak Djokovic 6-1 6-4 Rafa Nadal

    Djokovic wins in straight sets.

    A much better second set for Nadal saw things tied at 4-4 at one point.

    But Djokovic broke back to make it 5-4 and made no mistake as he took his second set of this match.

    Nadal did not look quite right throughout and it will be a sad way for him to bow out of Roland Garros should he be unable to return next year.

    He is still in the men's doubles alongside Carlos Alcaraz.
