Big news first, once again, one of the British women's foilists has qualified by right to the Olympics. That's two Olympics in a row where they've managed that. Remind me again that we're the "worst" weapon.

Take that, the rest of British fencing, and suck it.

In other sporting news, Stephane Guintoli won in the Superbikes. Yay!

Mark Allen, you know what, you too can go suck it. Well done Cao Yupeng.

A baby Belgian (well, he's 17) is also in this year's Snooker World Championships - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/snooker/17805483 Unfortunately, he's playing an in form Stephen Maguire.

Stephen Hendry managed not to suffer a bout of the yips and did win his match. He's through to the second round. Yay! - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/snooker/17809013

I also love Terry Griffiths on commentary, he's such a little ray of sunshine. He and Willie Thorne were commentating on the start of the Gould vs Gilbert match, and Thorne said "they're both playing wonderfully well."

And Terry replied with "give them time, they'll fail like everyone else."
