Ahead of the World Ultimates this weekend, a deep dive into Jarmila Kratochvilova’s 1:53.28. Including a scene setter from Doriane Lambelet Coleman, who ran against her that 1983 meet in Munich. Also get stuck into the vitamin B12 theory. telegraph.co.uk/athletics/2026…

“For the world to put constant pressure on women to make their unforced errors better, making a ball smaller is not the way to go about it." Eloquent take from Sarah Bern, who says Red Roses hated the 4.5 ball. Back to size 5 in next week's @ThePWR 🫠

Serious questions need to be asked of England Netball, who seem so keen on rewarding failure. Am told the candidate pool for netball's top job was small, with one insider saying: “Overseas coaches won’t touch it. No one wants to work for them.” telegraph.co.uk/netball/2026/1…

www.telegraph.co.uk England Netball is rewarding failure with uninspiring coach appointment Handing country’s top job to unproven Anna Stembridge does nothing to enhance credibility of a sport that wants to be taken seriously

Disney's new UWCL coverage is the closest we've seen to CBBC football (derogatory). I wouldn't be surprised if we see someone gunged for making a wrong prediction or perhaps Raven will make a cameo. Keep stopping to remind myself this isn't a dream.

When we talk about legacy, I'm not sure a 12th airing of West Side Story on BBC 2, rather than a WC final rematch between England v Canada at 3pm, is what the RFU had in mind. Hannah Botterman: "Everyone's like, that's a bit naff." telegraph.co.uk/rugby-union/20…

www.telegraph.co.uk BBC picks West Side Story over England’s Red Roses England’s women have been a fixture on BBC Two but this Saturday the channel is showing West Side Story rather than Test against Canada
