The photo of Zharnel Hughes in the wake of his 100 metres victory at the weekend’s UK Athletics Championships in a monumental Manchester deluge is one that will endure.

Zharnel Hughes set a "dream" British 100 metres record of 9.83sec at the New York City Grand Prix, beating the mark of 9.87 set by Linford Christie in winning the 1993 world title in Stuttgart.

Team GB has celebrated today’s 75th anniversary of the arrival of the first post-World War Two Caribbean migrants to the United Kingdom, known as the “Windrush generation”, with a special poem.

Athletics coach Ron Roddan, who guided Britain's Linford Christie to world, Olympic, European and Commonwealth 100 metres titles, has died aged 91.

When it was built in the mid-1980s, the Stade Couvert Régional in Liévin was billed as the largest and most modern sports hall in Europe. In 1987 it hosted the European Athletics Indoor Championships, after which its annual Pas-de-Calais meeting provided the sport with some of its outstanding moments for more than 20 years.

The current blizzard of retrospective doping bans being meted out by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is making the process of clarifying who ends up with what at recent Games resemble studying the Premier League table on a Saturday evening - or of course a Sunday, Monday, or any other evening and what a shame for the TV marketing men that there are only seven of them in each week…
