Super League Grand Final

Warrington Wolves 6-12 Wigan Warriors

Wigan Warriors beat Warrington in the Grand Final to win their fourth Super League crown and prolong the Wire's 61-year wait for a domestic title.

Josh Charnley, in his final Wigan appearance before switching codes, crossed for the decisive try.

League Leaders' Shield winners Warrington had led 6-2 at Old Trafford but Oliver Gildart cancelled out Declan Patton's first-half score.

Charnley's score ensured Wigan repeated their 2013 final win over Wolves.

The loss was Warrington's second in a major final in 2016 following their Challenge Cup final defeat by Hull FC at Wembley in August, while the Warriors avoided a third successive Grand Final reverse after losses to St Helens and Leeds Rhinos in the previous two seasons.

Charnley signs off in style

Charnley, one of Super League's most prolific wingers in recent years, signed off from rugby league in style with his 165th try in 174 Wigan appearances.

His performance at Old Trafford was far from perfect - the England international winger looked suspect under the high ball at times and he was rarely used as an attacking outlet in the first period.

However, his predatory instincts were demonstrated fully when he latched onto Dan Sarginson's grubber kick to touch down in the corner.

And, when his defensive skills were needed late on, Charnley was one of three Wigan defenders on hand to bundle Matty Russell into touch near the try line.

Against the odds

For Wigan to end the season as Super League champions shows their resolve in the face of adversity, given the plethora of injuries that the Warriors have had to endure during the campaign.

Brothers Sam and Joel Tomkins, Michael McIlorum, Dom Manfredi, Lee Mossop and Sean O'Loughlin are just some of the players to have missed large portions of the season.

Warriors and England skipper O'Loughlin was deemed fit to participate at Old Trafford but was limited to a bit part after two months out.


Obviously struggling with his calf problem in the closing stages, O'Loughlin was on the field to marshal his side to a third Grand Final success under his captaincy.

Reed/Spieth beat Rose/Stenson 2&1


Europe require another Ryder Cup miracle of sorts if they are to overhaul USA's three-point advantage and retain the title at Hazeltine.

The scores were briefly tied in Minnesota thanks to victory for Rory McIlroy and Thomas Pieters to kick off Saturday's fourballs session, but the host nation pulled ahead to lead 9½-6½ at the end of play.

Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed won their respective clashes, as did Phil Mickelson and Matt Kuchar on an incredible day of action which would ultimately end in disappointment for the Europeans.


The United States now require five points from the 12 singles matches on Sunday to win the Ryder Cup for the third time in the past 23 years, with their opponents - who recovered from a 10-6 deficit after two days at Medinah in 2012 - needing 7½ if they are to make it four in a row.

Ryder Cup 2016 Day 1

United States 4-0 Europe (after foursomes)

Spieth/Reed beat Stenson/Rose 3&2
Mickelson/Fowler beat McIlroy/Sullivan 1UP
Walker/Z Johnson beat Garcia/Kaymer 4&2
D Johnson/Kuchar beat Westwood/Pieters 5&4

Europe have got off to the worst possible start in the 41st Ryder Cup as they were whitewashed by the United States in the opening foursomes session at Hazeltine National.

Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed dealt the opening blow against the pairing of Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson, who managed only a single birdie in a 3&2 defeat in the top match.

Sergio Garcia and Martin Kaymer then lost 4&2 to Jimmy Walker and Zach Johnson, while Lee Westwood and Thomas Pieters were thrashed 5&4 by Dustin Johnson and Matt Kuchar.

Phil Mickelson and Rickie Fowler went on to seal the first USA whitewash since 1981 by beating Rory McIlroy and Andy Sullivan one up.

The result is also the Americans' 4-0 win in an opening session since Arnold Palmer captained the side in 1975.


United States 5-3 Europe (after Day 1)

Rose/Stenson beat Spieth/Reed 5&4
Garcia/Cabrera-Bello beat JB Holmes/Moore 3&2
Snedeker/Koepka beat Kaymer/Willett 5&4
McIlroy/Pieters beat D Johnson/Kuchar 3&2

Europe have reduced the deficit to USA to two points after they launched a fightback in Friday's fourballs at the Ryder Cup.

The visitors went into the second session at Hazeltine having lost each of the foursomes matches on Friday morning but they ended the day strongly to get back to 5-3 down.

USA had started the day with Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed getting the team's first point on the board against Henrik Stenson and Justin Rose but it was a role reverse in the afternoon as the European pairing won 5&4.

Brandt Snedeker and Brooks Koepka made light work of Martin Kaymer and Danny Willett as they won by the same scoreline, but Sergio Garcia and Rafael Cabrera-Bello withstood a late comeback from JB Holmes and Ryan Moore to claim victory on the 16th hole.

With the way the scores were looking in the first three matches, Dustin Johnson and Matt Kuchar's clash with Rory McIlroy and Thomas Pieters held plenty of significance and at one stage, it appeared that the European duo would ease to the win.

However, errors began to creep into McIlroy's game and although Pieters effectively battled on valiantly on his own, their opponents clawed their way back into the contest and were just two down with three to play.


McIlroy rediscovered his touch, however, and after finding the green in two at the par-five 16th, he rolled in a 20-foot putt with sublime control to secure his side's third point of the afternoon.

Gold - Jade Jones wins 57kg taekwondo gold - GB's 22nd gold

Great Britain's Alistair Brownlee won gold ahead of brother Jonny in the triathlon while compatriots Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark triumphed in the sailing on day 13 of the Rio Olympics.

Britain have now won 21 golds in Rio.

Liam Heath and Jon Schofield won silver in the men's 200m kayak double while Marcus Ellis and Chris Langridge took bronze in the badminton men's doubles.

With three days remaining, Britain are just 10 medals short of the record 65 they secured in London four years ago.

Defending champion Jade Jones is back in the final of the -57kg taekwondo, and will go for gold at 02:00 BST on Friday.

Earlier, Nicola Adams reached the women's flyweight final as she attempts to become the first British boxer to retain an Olympic title for 92 years.

Brilliant Brownlee brothers

Victory for Alistair Brownlee meant the 28-year-old became the first athlete to win successive Olympic triathlon titles, while brother Jonny, 26, improved on the bronze medal he won at London 2012.

The Yorkshiremen were close throughout the swim and cycle stages before Alistair pulled away halfway through the 10km run and finished six seconds ahead.

He said: "I was pretty confident we would get first and second but I didn't know which way round it would be."

Sailors step up to gold

Mills and Clark needed only to finish Thursday's medal race to win gold in the women's 470 sailing event.

They duly did so - finishing eighth to improve on the silver medal they won at London 2012.

"I can't believe it," Mills told BBC One. "It has actually been the best feeling ever.

"We have forgotten all about London. We are so proud to come back after it and we've worked so hard to get the upgrade to gold."

Brit watch

Heath and Schofield won bronze at London 2012, but went one better at Rio, edging out Lithuanian pair Aurimas Lankas and Edvinas Ramanauskas by 0.014secs.

"We gave it a bit of a lunge for the line," said Heath. "We hit it as hard as we can."

Ellis and Langridge's bronze was Britain's first Olympic medal in the men's doubles.

They beat China's Hong Wei and Chai Biao, the world number five pairing, 21-18 19-21 21-10.

"This is an incredible feeling," said Ellis. "After how we performed in our very first match, we knew we could compete with anybody."

Welsh fighter Jones brushed aside Sweden's Nikita Glasnovic in her taekwondo semi-final.

Adams saw off China's Ren Cancan, who she also beat in the London 2012 final, by a unanimous points decision.

The 33-year-old will face Colombia's Ingrit Valencia Victoria or France's Sarah Ourahmoune in Saturday's final (18:00 BST).

In diving, Tonia Couch finished 12th in the 10m platform final.

But Liam Phillips, ranked second in the world, had to withdraw from the quarter-finals of the BMX after a heavy fall.



Four-time world champions Peter Burling and Blair Tuke won Olympic gold for New Zealand in the men's 49er two-person skiff class.

Burling, 25, and Tuke, 27, held an unassailable 34-point lead going into Thursday's medal race, which they won.

Australian duo Nathan Outteridge and Iain Jensen took silver, with Germany's Erik Heil and Thomas Ploessel third.

Britain's Dylan Fletcher-Scott and Alain Sign were last in the medal race to finish sixth overall.

Their boat capsized around the fourth mark, ending their chances of a top-five finish.


Victory for Burling and Tuke means they remain unbeaten since winning silver at London 2012.



Chinese diver Ren Qian won Olympic gold at the age of 15 as Britain's Tonia Couch finished out of the medals in the 10m platform competition.

Ren took the lead after the third of five dives and a superb inward three-and-a-half somersault with her fourth virtually clinched the title.

China's Si Yajie took the silver, while Canada's Meaghan Benfeito won bronze.


Couch, competing in her third Olympics, ended with a fine reverse two-and-a-half somersault but finished in 12th.


Argentina won Olympic men's hockey gold for the first time with a 4-2 victory over Belgium in Rio.

Tanguy Cosyns gave Belgium the lead but Argentina took control before half-time thanks to goals from Pablo Ibarra, Ignacio Ortiz and Gonzalo Peillat.

Gauthier Boucard brought the Red Lions back into it but Agustin Mazzilli's last-minute goal sealed victory.


Germany won the bronze medal with a 4-3 penalty shootout win over the Netherlands after the match ended 1-1.

Rio 2016 Day One Gold medals

1. WOMEN'S 10M AIR RIFLE: Virginia Thrasher United States

America's Ginny Thrasher won the first gold medal of the Rio Olympic Games with a surprise victory in the women's 10m air rifle.

The 19-year-old secured her first major international victory, scoring 208.0 to leave China's 2006 world champion Du Li with silver.

China's defending champion Yi Siling could only finish with bronze.

2. Men's 10m air pistol - Hoang Xuan Vinh (Vietnam)

Vietnam have their first ever gold medal at an Olympics as Hoang Xuan Vinh wins the men's 10m air pistol.

3. Men's Road Race - Greg van Avermaet (Belgium)

Great Britain missed out on a medal in the men's road race at Rio 2016 as Belgium's Greg van Avermaet won Olympic gold in a thrilling finish.

British hopes were ended when Geraint Thomas crashed on the final descent, after Chris Froome and Adam Yates failed to stay with the leaders.

Denmark's Jakob Fuglsang took silver and Poland's Rafal Majka bronze.

Froome goes for gold again in Wednesday's time trial, hoping to better his bronze at London 2012.

4. Men's team archery final - South Korea

South Korea only miss the 10 with three of their arrows to beat United States 6-0!

Phenomenal arrows. Phil Taylor would be pleased with that shooting.

5. Judo women's -48kg - Paula Pareto - Argentina

Argentina win their first medal on rival turf. Or, more accurately, on rival indoor mat.

But any Brazil-Argentina rivalry is put to one side as reigning world champion Paula Pareto also claims the Olympic title.

Pareto beats Korea's Bokyeong Jeong with a waza-ari, then laps up the acclaim of a celebrating Carioca Arena.

6. Fencing Women's Épée Individual  - Emese Szasz - Hungary  

It's a third gold medal for Hungary in the women's epee in the last six Olympics!

Emese Szasz beats Rossella Fiamingo of Italy 15-13.

7. Judo men's -60kg - Beslan Mudranov Russia

Russia's Beslan Mudranov cracks a cheeky grin. Reigning world champion Yeldos Smetov grimaces as he lies on his back, staring at the roof and probably seeing stars.

Nothing can separate these two after five minutes - and that means it is golden score.

Mudranov needs just 44 seconds to produce a moment of brilliance. An opportunist leg sweep takes down Smetov and clinches gold for the Russians.

8. Men's 400m Individual Medley Final  Kosuke Hagino - Japan

It is gold for Japan as Kosuke Hagino holds on to pip Chase Kalisz of America, Daiya Seto in third and Max Litchfield of GB a brilliant fourth. 

9. Men's 400m Freestyle Final - Mack Horton - Australia

Mack Horton of Australia wins! He hangs on to tip the wall just in front of Sun Yang.

James Guy tied up to finish sixth in the end. Gutsy, gutsy swim.

10. Women's 400m Individual Medley Final  Katinka Hosszu - Hungary

Massive! Four mins 26.36, a world record by more than two seconds for Katinka Hosszu!

11. Women's 4 x 100m Freestyle Relay Final - Australia

There it is! 3:30.65 for Australia as Cate Campbell anchors it home with a 51.97 leg.

12. Weighlifting Women's 48kg Group A - Sopita Tanasan - Thailand

After a mammoth final of over two hours and multiple lifts, 21-year-old Sopita Tanasan takes gold with a combined lift of 200kg.


Gold for Thailand!

Tour De France 2016 Stage 21 - the run to Paris

Chris Froome became Britain's first three-time winner of the Tour de France when he reached the finish line of the 21-stage race in Paris on Sunday.

The Team Sky rider, who won the 2013 and 2015 races, is the first man to defend his title in more than 20 years.

He finished arm-in-arm with his team-mates behind the peloton after Andre Greipel won the final sprint finish.

"It's an amazing feeling, it could be the first Tour all over again," Froome had said prior to the final stage.

Froome's three victories in four years follows Sir Bradley Wiggins becoming the first Briton to win the race in 2012.

He ended up beating Romain Bardet of France by more than three minutes with Colombia's Nairo Quintana in third and Britain's Adam Yates fourth.

The traditional final stage to Paris began with a processional ride from Chantilly, in northern France, with the winners of the four main jerseys leading the peloton.

Froome, in the yellow jersey, was joined by Yates in the white jersey as best young rider, Slovak Peter Sagan in the green points top and Poland's Rafal Majka in the polka dot king of the mountains jersey.

When the riders reached Paris the pace was increased for nine 6.8km laps of the city centre which culminated in a bunch sprint on the Champs-Elysees.

Froome joining the greats

He becomes just the eighth rider to win at least three Tours de France, joining Belgium's Phillipe Thys, Louison Bobet of France and American Greg LeMond on three.

With disgraced Lance Armstrong's seven 'wins' between 1999-2005 expunged from the record books after he admitted to doping, the record of five Tour wins, held jointly by Frenchmen Jacques Anquetil and Bernard Hinault, Belgium's Eddy Merckz and Miguel Indurain of Spain, is very much in Froome's sight.

Indurain was the last man to successfully defend the title, winning five successive Tours from 1991.

"It would be my dream to keep coming back for the next five or six years and give myself the best opportunity of winning again," said Froome after finishing stage 20.

"I can't say the novelty is wearing off. It's such an incredible event and to be in the yellow jersey is every cyclist's dream and the biggest honour in our sport.

"I hope I can be back next year to fight for it again."

How did the other Brits get on?

Yates not only won the race for the best rider under the age of 25, he also finished fourth overall in only his second Tour.

The 23-year-old Orica BikeExchange rider impressed in the mountains and was second for six stages and third for six more before dropping to fourth on stage 19.

"I maintained the white jersey and I'm super happy with that," he said.

"The podium would have been nice but this is the Tour de France. It's only my second attempt. I'm happy with my performance and the team is too."

Mark Cavendish did not make it to Paris this year, abandoning the race to focus on his attempts to win an Olympic medal on the track in Rio next month.

Before he left though, the Dimension Data rider won an incredible four stages to move second overall on 30 - only Merckx has won more with 34.

His victory on stage one saw him wear the yellow jersey as race leader for the first time.

Steve Cummings, a team-mate of Cavendish, finished more than four hours adrift of Froome but won the second Tour stage of his career with a brilliant solo ride on stage seven.

His win was one of a record-equalling seven for British riders, matching the haul in 2012.

Sprinter Dan McLay surprised many with four top-10 finishes in the first week and although the Fortuneo - Vital Concept rider tired as the race wore on the 24-year-old made it to Paris on his Tour debut.

Team Sky trio Geraint Thomas, Luke Rowe and Ian Stannard all rode selflessly to help Froome win the race.

Thomas, who was one of the key riders in the mountains, gave up his bike when Froome crashed on stage 19, while Rowe and Stannard helped shelter their team leader on flatter stages.

He took the race lead after an unexpected attack on the descent into the finish at Bagneres de Luchon on stage eight and extended his lead with a similarly surprising attack in crosswinds with Sagan on stage 11.

However, his good work was nearly undone on the Bastille Day ascent of Mont Ventoux when he crashed into the back of rival Richie Porte, who had collided with a motorbike. With his own bike unusable and a replacement on his team car several minutes away, the race leader began running up the mountain.

After holding off the challenge of rivals Nairo Quintana, Bauke Mollema and Yates in the Swiss Alps on stage 17, Froome won the second individual time trial to build a commanding lead of almost four minutes.

Despite crashing on a treacherous descent on stage 19 and borrowing team-mate Geraint Thomas' bike to ride the final 12km to the finish, Froome managed to extend his overall lead and then defend it on the final stormy day in the Alps, setting up the processional ride in to Paris.

Who won the other jerseys?

World champion Sagan continued his domination of the points classification, which rewards consistently high finishes on each stage.

The Slovak won three stages, had five top-five finishes and won six intermediate sprints to win a fifth green jeresy and is now just one behind Germany's Erik Zabel, who won a record six from 1996.

Majka, who is a Tinkoff team-mate of Sagan, won the polka dot king of the mountains jersey for a second time, beating Thomas de Gendt by 79 points.
