Since 2012, Great Britain has consistently stood on the podium for dressage events in every Olympic Games, and our strength remains unwavering. Charlotte Fry with Glamourdale and Carl Hester riding Imhotep will be pivotal figures once more. Both are experienced performers under pressure, a crucial factor indeed. The German, Dutch, and American teams may pose challenges, but we remain optimistic about our position in the competition.
Wicked Little Letters staring Jessie Buckley and Olivia Colman has landed on Netflix.
1. Team GB’s men’s eight is currently double world champions and 2016 Olympic champions; coach Steve Trapmore claimed gold in the year 2000. Although the Germans have declined, top contenders such as Australia, Netherlands, Romania, and potential dark horses like the Americans are participating in this event. Unfortunately, the women’s team has not been performing at their peak, but five of them will make their Olympic debut today; yet, they seem to be peaking at just the right moment. Sharing a sibling during competition can provide a significant advantage, and I hope that Tom and Emily Ford enjoy this benefit as my brother Jonny and I did in Barcelona.
1. Richard Gadd, the maker and lead actor of the Netflix show Baby Reindeer, has filed a detailed statement to a U.S. federal court in support of Netflix, as Fiona Harvey brings a lawsuit against the streaming service for slander and negligence.
Ellie Simmonds is an exceptional swimmer, excelling in both the 200m backstroke and the 400m individual medley. She clinched the world title in these events this year. With her versatile skills, she will significantly contribute to the medley team, as we have a variety of talented swimmers to choose from for each individual race. Potential contenders for the final include Duncan Scott, Adam Peaty, and Anna Hopkin. While Simmonds has the ability to earn an individual medal, the coaching staff must strategically select the best combination to ensure another successful run, reminiscent of our triumph in Tokyo.
