Team of the Week - 21.08.26

British Equestrian

Medals galore at the World Champs

What a couple of weeks it has been for British Equestrian, with non-stop action in Germany for the FEI World Championships. Last week saw the GB dressage team qualify for the LA28 Olympics, before a historic 'double-double' gold for Britain’s Lottie Fry and Glamourdale. Britain also claimed eventing team gold, as well as a host of medals across the disciplines, including a strong start to the para dressage action with gold and bronze added to the tally.

Jack Whaley

US Amateur Champion

Whaley became the third ever Englishman to win the US Amateur Championship this week and he did so in an extremely wholesome manner. The 22-year-old from Doncaster was caddy'd by none other than his dad, Andy. The pair shared an emotional embrace after the winning putt and Jack has since received a number of messages from British stars, including a phone call from Justin Rose. A proper 'this is what sport is all about' story. 

Donna Rose

Welsh rugby player

Opening up about life off the pitch is brave for any athlete, especially when it comes to a condition that people know little about. Huge well done to Welsh prop Donna Rose who, off the back of an amazing year on the pitch, has talked to the BBC about her daily struggles with borderline personality disorder.
