Future stars, big moments and positive progress across sport this week.
Harry Williams takes his first step into the F1 pathway with McLaren, Coventry City secure their return to the Premier League under Frank Lampard, Erling Haaland delivers in another title defining moment, and new Sport England data shows more adults than ever are getting active.
Harry Williams
The 11-year-old future F1 star?
McLaren have signed 11-year-old Harry Williams, becoming their youngest ever signing. Harry is two years younger than Lewis Hamilton was when he joined. McLaren also recently signed daughter of Mika Hakkinen, Ella, last year aged 14, as part of its successful McLaren driver development programme.
Coventry City
Promoted back to the Premier League
Coventry have secured promotion back to the Premier League with 2 games to spare in their season after an impressive 5-1 win over Portsmouth. Led by Chelsea legend, Frank Lampard, the Sky Blues will be looking to replicate what Sunderland have done this season and avoid the drop next season.
Erling Haaland
Big game player
Erling Haaland with a winner against title hopefuls Arsenal put one big smile on this Tottenham fans face. Seeing Arsenal drop to second in the table has been a moment of joy in this otherwise bleak season for me and its all thanks to Norway’s Erling Haaland… well done that man!
More active adults
Sport England data reveals growth
The latest Active Lives data from Sport England has revealed an increase in the number of people in England that are playing sport or taking part in physical activity. The survey found that nearly 65% of adults are meeting the chief medical officer's recommended guidelines of 150 minutes of weekly physical activity. This is the highest level on record, with an estimated increase of over 850,000 adults compared to the previous year.
