In Leipzig, the British men’s gymnastics team reclaimed their place at the summit of European sport. Posting a total score of 247.528, the Brits secured gold ahead of Switzerland and Italy in a final marked by consistency and composure from a young but remarkably composed squad. Beyond the gold medal, it was the rise of the next generation that truly caught the eye, with Jonas Rushworth and Jamie Lewis, both newcomers at this level playing a decisive role in clinching the title. A team of debutants already showing dominance : Britain’s triumph in Leipzig was more than just another title on the honours list, it was a clear statement of controlled regeneration. While established names like Jake Jarman, Harry Hepworth and Luke Whitehouse, all three part of Team Read more Read More

At just 17 years of age, Jake Odey Jordan continues to take the sprinting world by storm.

This Monday at 7:30pm UK time, England’s U17s will play their final group stage match at the 2025 UEFA European Under-17 Championship. The match takes place at the Stadiumi Arena Egnatia in Albania, one of four host venues for the tournament. After a 1–1 draw against Belgium and a 4–2 defeat to Italy, the Young Lions find themselves in a precarious position heading into the final round of fixtures. To stand any chance of qualifying for the semi-finals, Liam Bramley’s side must not only secure a convincing win over the Czech Republic, but also hope that Belgium lose to Italy. Even that might not be enough; England currently trail Belgium on goal difference (-2 to +2) and would need to overturn a four-goal swing to leapfrog them into Read more Read More

At 7:30pm this Friday evening, England U17s will take to the pitch for their second group-stage fixture of the UEFA European Under-17 Championship, held at the Stadiumi “Arena Egnatia”, one of four host venues in Albania. Just two days after a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Belgium, the Young Lions now face a crucial clash with Italy, knowing that a victory would not only put them top of the group, leapfrogging the Azzurrini, but also put them in prime position to secure a place in the semi-finals. Clinching top spot in the group is particularly important, as it would likely lead to a more favourable semi-final tie against the runner-up from the other section, which features France, Portugal, Germany and hosts Albania.
