Droitwich Olympian Matt Richards replays moment he missed gold
He added: "At the end of the day, that's sport and I think there's lessons to be learned on both sides of that coin, and parts of that I'll try to take forward with me again into this summer and beyond."Richards will get another chance to race on the big stage at the World Aquatics Championships in Singapore next week.
'A lot of potential'
His appetite to win will be fuelled by his near miss last summer.He said: "I'm always going to go into races with the goal and, I suppose, the expected outcome of trying to win the race regardless of what's happened in the previous race or somebody else's previous race or what's expected on paper. "That's always going to be my goal."A race like that, it's always going to be one that sticks with you for good and bad reasons, but longer term, trying to put that right over the next few years and trying to turn that silver into gold is going to be the target."Richards will swim the 100m freestyle as well as the 200m in Singapore.He said: "I do think that the 100m, there's a lot of potential there for me."I've got a lot of speed, I'm a 21 second swimmer on the 50m but I've also got a real good engine on that 200m and I think, at some point, those two will come together really well and form a really strong 100m freestyle.

Llanberis Student Aims for Team GB with School's Support
Teenager Toby Sutcliffe is making serious waves in the world of canoe slalom – and his school is behind him every stroke of the way. The 15 year-old from Llanberis, a pupil at St Gerard's School in Bangor, is currently ranked among the top five C1 slalom athletes in the UK for his age group. A dedicated year-round paddler, Toby trains on Llyn Padarn and at the National Water Sports Centre in Nottingham and has competed in the Junior Slalom European Cup in France and Germany as part of the Welsh Performance Team. He joined St Gerard's aged seven and is about to start Year 11. Balancing elite sport with his GCSE studies, Toby says the school has played a key role in helping him chase his goals. 'My ultimate aim is to reach the highest national division, then Team GB,' said Toby. 'I'd love to make it to the World Championships or the Olympics one day. 'The school has been so supportive — always helping me catch up or send me extra work when I've missed lessons to compete overseas. I'm really grateful.' Wales Performance Squad Toby's passion for paddling began during the pandemic, after his previous interest in ski slalom was put on hold. 'We had access to the lake and tried a few local taster sessions,' said mum Vicki. 'From his very first go in a C1 canoe, he just lit up — the smile hasn't left his face since.' Dad Will added: 'It's great to see St Gerard's backing young athletes. Their support and sponsorship for Toby have made a real difference and the sport needs new talent like him coming through.' Toby is also finding success in kayak cross, a fast, contact-heavy race discipline that debuted at the 2024 Paris Olympics. He reached the semi-finals in Augsburg, Germany, and came third in a recent open event in Nottingham. Sid Sinfield, Performance Manager at Paddle Cymru, said: 'With a strong work ethic and a passion for canoe slalom, Toby is not only competing at a high level for his age but is also on a clear trajectory toward national and international success. 'As he continues to train, travel, and compete, support and sponsorship play a vital role in helping him reach his full potential. 'Funding enables access to top-level coaching, specialised equipment, and travel to key races across the UK and Europe – essential components in the development of a world-class athlete. 'St Gerard's School's backing of Toby is an opportunity to invest in the future of British canoeing and to support a driven young athlete with the talent and determination to go far.' Headteacher Campbell Harrison added: 'We're proud of Toby and all our pupils as they chase their dreams. 'Whether in sport, academics, or the arts, St Gerard's is committed to helping young people achieve their full potential — and we're behind Toby all the way.'

Vonn brings in Svindal as coach for Olympic comeback
Aug 6 (Reuters) - American Lindsey Vonn has brought Norwegian former Olympic champion Aksel Lund Svindal into her coaching team, she said on Wednesday. The 40-year-old Vonn, who has 82 World Cup wins to her name and counts one gold among her three Olympic medals, retired from the sport in 2019 before announcing in November she was planning a comeback in a bid to ski at next year's Milano-Cortina Games. She earned a second-place finish in the super-G at the World Cup Finals in March. "Excited to finally announce that Olympic Champion Aksel Lund Svindal will be joining my team as a coach and equipment strategist for the upcoming season," Vonn said in a post on Instagram. Svindal won gold in the super-G at the 2010 Vancouver Games and in the downhill at Pyeongchang in 2018. He also claimed five world championship titles before retiring in 2019.

Trump gets more sports medals he didn't earn as his collection grows with Olympic triumphs
President Donald Trump was gifted a set of Olympic medals on Tuesday while announcing the 2028 Summer Olympic task force – the latest sports medal given to the president to add to his growing collection. After signing an executive order establishing the White House task force to help oversee arrangements for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, chair Casey Wasserman presented Trump with a shiny surprise. 'In 1984, as you know, we hosted the Olympics in Los Angeles,' Wasserman said, mentioning that former president Ronald Reagan was in power at the time of that event. 'You will preside over our games, so we have for you a full set of the '84 original medals,' Wasserman added. Trump held up the display, which contained bronze, silver, and gold medals. 'Can I say I won them athletically?' Trump joked. 'That would be a great honor.' The president is famously a fan of medals and awards. He has often boasted about winning golf club championships, and recently has pushed to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Last month, the president faced criticism after appearing to slyly pocket a FIFA Club World Cup medal after the president of FIFA gave him it to view. As the president was walking off stage, he appeared to put the medal in his jacket pocket. In 2019, the president made an offhand comment, which seemed to be a joke, that he wanted to gift himself the Medal of Honor – the highest military decoration award given to members of the Armed Forces for acts of valor. Even in his new administration, Trump has reportedly considered ways to incorporate awards. Two members of a pro-natalist community, Simone and Malcom Collins, had reportedly pitched an executive order awarding mothers who have six or more children a 'National Medal of Motherhood' – something Trump reportedly took interest in. While Trump pushes to win international awards, such as the Nobel Peace Prize, for now, he'll have to settle for sports awards given as a courtesy. The U.S. is co-hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup as well as hosting the 2028 Summer Olympics. Both events are occurring under the Trump administration. On Tuesday, Trump announced he would chair the White House task force to oversee the country's organization leading up to the Summer Olympics. While it is largely a ceremonial role, the president has promoted his role in the Olympics heavily and said he would ensure its policies align with his administration.
