Gymnastics: Men’s Parallel Bars Final

by

Joe Fraser faced numerous shoulder and ankle surgeries in 2023, making the year a challenging one for him. However, he’s been back in competition mode for most of it and is now in good shape. I’ve witnessed him at several qualifiers, where he’s collaborated closely with his personal coach and sports scientists to gradually prepare himself for using the bars again. It must be disheartening for him since the bars are his preferred apparatus, but as a former world champion, he understands what it takes to reach the finals. The competition will be fierce though, as there are other gymnasts who can achieve high scores on this equipment. [BETH TWEDDLE’s COMMENT]

For quite some time now, British men’s middle-distance running has been as strong as during the days of Coe, Ovett, and Cram. While Jake Wightman won’t be participating in the 800m heats tomorrow, Josh Kerr will take his place. Kerr is set to compete against an individual whose talent might not match his ego.

Track Cycling: Men’s Team Sprint Final

by

For the first time in over 20 years, Chris Hoy and Jason Kenny won’t be part of our team at the upcoming Olympics. This marks a new beginning, yet I remain optimistic that we can still secure a place on the podium. The Netherlands and Australia are the top contenders for the gold, but GB has a chance to battle it out with France for the bronze. The men’s sprint squad typically experience a slump in form leading up to the Olympics, only to astonish everyone with their impressive performances during the Games. They consistently rise to the occasion, silencing the skeptics. I anticipate a bronze medal finish, but I sincerely hope for an unexpected surprise. – Joanna Rowlett
