I love a new challenge in gymnastics - today is the first European Championships Mixed Team Final. The format is different from the norm, and it’s going to be exciting TV! Please join me for it in 45 mins. I’ll be live on the worldwide English coverage with Blythe Lawrence.

I just love an all-around final. Love it. Both WAG and MAG today were rollercoasters, full of fascinating changes of direction and remarkable displays from lower-ranked qualifiers. And two fantastic champions in Manila Esposito 🇮🇹 and Adem Asil 🇹🇷. Isn’t gymnastics just great?!

Goodbye from Leipzig, everyone! It’s been such a pleasure having your company, and working alongside Blythe Lawrence for our fifth Artistic Euros together. Hope you enjoyed it and that you’ll tune it to rhythmic in Tallinn next week! Now I’m off to enjoy the Turnfest!

This is where the gymnastics community is fantastic; I gathered the lovely extra details on Denisa Golgota’s comeback through being told it by Romanian gymnastics fans who are better informed than me. I’m always so grateful when people share things that can enhance my commentary.

I am so sorry for this mistake. I was working from an archive that didn’t have the 1991 junior championships listed; it didn’t go back this far. It’s my fault for not double checking. I was trying to make it a really special moment for these great young gymnasts and failed 😞.

It’s going to be a dramatic day today; 0.5 separates 22-30 in the overnight AA qualification rankings, with a significant handful of gymnasts currently only posting one score and likely to fly up the leaderboard as the day goes on. The race for the top 24 will be fascinating! 🇪🇪

Always enjoy covering WTA Eastbourne - a lovely tournament. Will be commentating Lucia Bronzetti 🇮🇹 v Alexandra Eala 🇵🇭 on Court 2 in just a moment, so please tune in if you can!

What a performance from Alexandra Eala 🇵🇭. The quality of her play, athletically, tactically, and technically, was a joy to watch. It was such a pleasure to commentate that match!

To mark International Olympic Day, here I am looking both happy and terrified at my first Olympic Games as a commentator, 9 years ago. I no longer feel the terror, but still feel the joy and the weight of responsibility to do the athletes justice and to get the words right.

I had the joy of commentating the Cocciaretto Birmingham run last year, and today I'll be calling her against Rakhimova at Eastbourne. After that I'll be covering the sequel to Linette v Yastremska from Nottingham. It's called Linette-Yastremska II: This Time There Are Seagulls.

Rare that I get to just sit down and watch tennis as a fan, and watching Wimbledon as a child is where my love of the sport began. This Norrie-Tiafoe match is terrific!
