World table tennis bronze for Powys ace Grace Williams
GRACE Williams was among the medal winners for Britain at the ITTF World Para Challenger Lasko in Slovenia last week.
Britain came home with medals with former Llanfyllin High School student Williams claiming bronze in the women's class eight.
Williams started well against World number four Sophia Kelmer, taking the first set 11-6 but the 17-year-old World bronze medallist came back to take the match 3-1.
She fought back well from 2-1 down to level at 2-2 against teenager Freja Larsen, saving match points at 10-8 down to edge the fourth 12-10 and then taking the deciding set 11-6 to beat last year's French Para Open champion 3-2.
She took the first set of her semi-final against 18-year-old Olaia Martinez from Spain but lost the match 3-1.
'I'm not in the form I want to be in and that's OK,' said Williams. 'I'm only five months back from injury and I felt I've played alright.
'The things I've been working on in the training hall are proving to be a good thing because working on serve and receive in the hall is helping here. I'm just going to keep trying my best and see where it takes me.'

Eberechi Eze ‘trusting it will work out' over Crystal Palace's European hopes
Palace qualified for Europe for the first time in their history by winning the FA Cup last month, but their place is under threat because of UEFA rules surround multi-club ownership. John Textor holds a 43 per cent stake in Palace through his company Eagle Football and he is also the owner of French club Lyon, who qualified for the Europa League with a sixth-placed finish in Ligue 1. 😏 — Crystal Palace F.C. (@CPFC) May 19, 2025 A decision is expected soon and Eze, who is with England for their World Cup qualifier against Andorra and friendly with Senegal, is optimistic. 'I really hope that Palace do get the reward because of what it took to actually achieve that,' Eze told reporters. 'It would be a huge shame if that was not the case but I'm trusting that it will work out in the end. 'It should work itself out because there's players who have worked to be in this position. 'There are fans who have been with the team throughout the whole season and experienced everything.' Meanwhile, Trevoh Chalobah is backing Thomas Tuchel to bring a 'winning culture' to England. A week to remember for @TrevohChalobah ❤️ — England (@England) June 3, 2025 The 25-year-old defender has received his maiden call-up for Tuchel's squad, which is another slice of recognition by the German. Chalobah said: 'He's the one who gave me my Chelsea debut. 'It's been good moments shared with him. He's a very tough manager. And I think that's what us players need going into the World Cup next year, and obviously in these games, just to build us up. 'He's a very good coach. He wants to win. He's a winner, you know? And he's seen that Chelsea, he's won, and he wants to bring that same winning culture here.'

Sex assault horror across Paris after PSG Champions League win: Shocking footage shows huge mob surround terrified women's car and smash window as other victims describe sexual violence
Violent riots gripped the French capital on Saturday night after Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League win - with horrifying videos and testimony revealing how women were targeted by thuggish football fans. Shocking video has shown how a huge mob attacked a pair of young women, screaming at them, climbing on their car and smashing its windows in as they tried to drive through the city. The terrified women are seen cowering as the hordes of men intimidated them. Video of the onslaught cuts out shortly after a window is smashed in, making it unclear what happened next. Some 500 people were arrested, two people died and almost 200 were injured during the riots, according to France's interior ministry. Shops were vandalised and looted, cars and motorbikes set on fire and people were stabbed during the Paris riots, with violence also seen elsewhere in France. Predominantly male crowds, large parts of which were buzzing off a mixture of alcohol and PSG's win, took over the streets, with women reporting a hostile atmosphere across the city. A Parisian student called Dounia, who went out with friends to celebrate the victory on the banks of the Seine, described how she was sexually and verbally assaulted by visibly drunk PSG supporters. 'A man in his forties approached me, holding a flask of alcohol. I saw him approaching and suddenly I felt his hand grab my buttocks,' the 18-year-old told Le Parisien. She told the outlet that she is still in shock days later. 'It was his reaction when I turned around that was the most telling,' the young woman said. 'He insulted me and pushed me violently, before walking away with his friend.' TikTok creator Lily-Rose described feeling 'scared for my life' as she cycled through the city shortly after the game finished. She described having shards of glass bottles thrown at her and feeling as though she would be knocked off her bike at any moment. 'Luckily, they landed on the bike frame and I wasn't hit,' she sighs in a TikTok video. 'My evening was ruined. It was supposed to be a moment of euphoria and joy, but that didn't take into account this problematic and misogynistic behavior,' she added. 'When you see the way you behave, it's scary, it's terrifying. I'm shaking, I'm traumatized, I thought I was going to die several times.' Other female PSG fans hoping to celebrate their team's success said they were unable to spend any more than fifteen minutes in the crowd before being assaulted. 'We had two hands on our asses and one on our breasts,' one of the friends reportedly said. 'We want to party but we can't.' Footage of the horrific attacks was widely condemned online, but also met with more misogynistic comments. 'Why were you out?' men on Instagram, X and TikTok responded to women's complaints. While many shops on the Champs-Elysees were protected ahead of the Champions League final, some did not escape damage Other vile comments read: 'You're a girl and you're going to celebrate PSG on the Champs-Elysées, that counts in the bodycount ' and 'The girls who are going to be on the Champs-Elysées on the 31st, we already know why you're there'. 'You're a woman and you're going to Paris when you know it's going to be chaos whether we win or lose. Are you stupid?' another person said. Dounia said the responses angered her even more, and that women should be 'able to go out into the street freely, whether there's a sporting event or not.' Statistics show that there are 114,000 sexual assaults are recorded in France every year - equivalent to one every four minutes. Of the victims, 85 per cent are women, and nearly 50 per cent of French women say they feel unsafe in public spaces. Speaking to PSG players at the Élysée Palace on Sunday, French President Emmanuel Macron condemned the 'unacceptable' violence seen on the streets the night before. 'Nothing can justify what has happened in recent hours, the violent clashes are unacceptable. We will pursue, we will punish, we will be relentless.'

Boisson goes from crowdfunding to bumper pay day in Paris
PARIS, June 5 (Reuters) - French Open semi-finalist Lois Boisson will earn at least 690,000 euros ($789,636.00) from her fairytale run at Roland Garros which means the local favourite will no longer have to rely on crowdfunding in a bid to boost her finances. The French wild card came into the tournament having earned about 20,000 euros this year but even if she loses to American Coco Gauff in the semi-finals on Thursday, the world number 361 can expect endorsements and sponsorships to come flooding in. If Boisson beats the second-seeded American and reaches the final she will receive a cheque for 1,275,000 euros, while if the 22-year-old wins the title she will pocket 2,550,000 euros. Boisson started a crowdfunding campaign a year ago, asking for help to "get back to the highest level and make it to the four Grand Slams this year" after suffering a serious knee injury just before Roland Garros, where she got a wild card. Boisson received another invitation from the French tennis federation to play at the tournament again this year and has not disappointed, beating world number three Jessica Pegula and Russian prodigy Mirra Andreeva in the two previous rounds. Boisson only got 100 euros in crowdfunding in a year before that jumped above 1,000 just before the semi-finals but the talented youngster won't need to seek donations now. ($1 = 0.8738 euros)
