Team GB silver medallist Amber Rutter believes a VAR system should be in place for future Olympic shooting events after being controversially denied gold in Paris. A shoot-off was required in Sunday’s skeet final after Great Britain’s Rutter and Chile’s Francisca Crovetto tied on 55 shots from 60 targets. The pair still could not be split after three shoot-off rounds but Rutter was then adjudged to have missed a shot which replays appeared to show she hit. Rutter, who gave birth to her first child just three months ago, contested the call but the judges did not overturn the decision…

The 32-year-old cleared 4.85m to claim bronze at Tokyo 2020 but could not get anywhere near that height in Paris. One of her attempts went badly wrong and she was sent flying by the pole, almost crashing into a cameraman positioned on the side of the runway. When another camera picked Bradshaw up she was…

With the Paris Olympics in full swing, France is even more popular among British tourists than usual. If you’re heading across the Channel this summer, you’ve likely been brushing up on your parle français is order to fit in with the locals. But there are a few common French phrases native English-speakers often get wrong – and doing so could leave you pretty red-faced.
