    Excellent netball world cup final. One point in it.

    Looks easy but I bet it's tough as ****. All that running then sudden stops. And no backboard to help you shoot.

    The NZ cricket team got £3m for coming second; the netball women get nothing for winning. Parity may not be justified but neither is that. It got a big enough audience.

    Reckon its easier to shoot.

    Obviously you have to be more accurate but pressure wise you dont have people trying to steal the ball off you and jumping above you with their hands.

    Still though its skillful in its own right.

    As for the paygaps, thats sport for you. You would hope sport new zealand paid them enough or the girls can get some lucrative sponsorship

    Pinot has to abandon tour due to knee injury and is absolutely desolated

    PS Kudos to the mechanic who kicked a photographer who was trying to push his camera right up to the car window.

    Team Sky Ineos 1-2
    Good result for G all things considered.
    ASO announce next year no mountains over 2000ft are be used unless Bernal has left Ineos in which case they all summit finishes will be :bandit:

    Williams just can't get that record slam. Lost out to the rando Canadian girl who's never been past a 2nd round before. First Canadian to win a singles slam as well.

    The Japs are a fun watch.
    The Irish were abysmal with even the basics being beyond them .
