Wrestling and axe-throwing at Holywell's Party in the Park
Party in the Park took place yesterday (Saturday, July 26) between 11am and 4pm at both Fron Park and the adjacent Holywell Leisure Centre. The event drew huge crowds despite the drizzly weather at times, and was once again organised by Holywell Town Council, following the success of its debut event 12 months ago. Among those in attendance were the mayor and mayoress of Holywell, Matt Sprake and Fi Vaughan respectively.

Meanwhile, outside, there were three wrestling shows (with meet and greets) from Basix Pro Wrestling for people to enjoy, as well as BMX bike and skateboarding coaching, and archery and axe-throwing sessions. People could also try their hand at a climbing wall and karaoke, while there was also an inflatable assault course and basketball, bushcraft, crown green bowling, community stalls, face painting, and glitter tattoos. Children were entitled to free lunch packs, while there were also ice cream, burger and coffee vans. North Wales Police were in attendance, with youngsters able to try on officers' uniform and sit inside a police car. Stalls were set up by the likes of St John Ambulance, Holywell-based Bethel Baptist Chapel, and Red Dragon Ventures, who gave people the chance to practise cardiopulmonary resuscitation training with a dummy, create nature-based artwork, build teddy dens, and toast marshmallows.

"It was certainly a change of pace from wielding the metaphorical axe in council meetings to having a go at actual axe throwing — though I'm not sure the mayor's consort was entirely convinced everyone was safe within range! "However it was the wrestlers who body-slammed their way to centre stage and stole the show, and a special thank you goes to Basix Wrestling for putting on an unforgettable performance for the children."

Watch BMX Racing World Championships on BBC
British riders will be taking to the track at the BMX Racing World Championships in Copenhagen this week and BBC Sport will be showing all the action on Sunday, 3 August when the rainbow jersey winners are crowned. The last time the World Championships were held in Denmark 14 years ago, Frenchman Joris Daudet claimed his first world title during a dominant year in which he won all 11 rounds on the European BMX tour. He is the defending champion this year and also the reigning Olympic champion after his victory at Paris 2024. The competition is different to 14 years ago, with the races now faster, corners on the course higher and the bike designs different. Who are the ones to watch? Women's races: Australian Saya Sakakibara is the Olympic champion and a two-time World Cup champion. She is on track for a third World Cup victory and will be looking to add the World Championship to her titles, but fourth is the highest she has managed to finish in this event. Zoe Claessens will be looking to go one better than last year when she finished second behind American Alise Willoughby. The Swiss rider is number one in this season's rankings and won bronze at the Paris Olympics. Great Britain's Beth Shriever is an Olympic gold medallist and heads to Denmark in pursuit of a third world title. In the women's Under-23 race, Great Britain's Emily Hutt is the name to look out for. She has finished second in the last two U23 World Championships and will be looking to claim the title for the first time. Men's races: France's Joris Daudet is the man to beat. His win last year at Rock Hill in the United States secured his fourth world title. His compatriot Sylvain Andre will be looking to continue a successful year. Andre is top of both the men's elite rankings and World Cup standings. However, he has not won the World Championship title since 2018. Ross Cullen is the highest-ranked Briton in this season's competition. He won round four of the World Cup and is sixth in the individual rankings. No British cyclist has been the men's world champion since Liam Phillips in 2013.
