Khelif's defiance creates major potential problems for World Boxing, who have been provisionally approved by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to run the sport at the next Games. In February, the organisation promised to create a "fair playing field" for women, insisting that safety was "absolutely paramount".

She is stuck in a pattern where, almost any time that she has to step up in class, she falls apart. Her latest capitulation to Swiatek was perhaps the worst yet, with her backhand woeful and her body language bereft of self-belief. She looked as if she could hardly wait for the match to be over, leaking a succession of tired errors and wafting even mid-court balls hopelessly long.

Thomas Bramall began his season at Gateshead, brandishing a couple of yellow cards in the National League side’s 1-0 win over Solihull Moors. But he ended it entrusted with a game of infinitely greater significance, unleashing a howl of righteous fury in the claret-and-blue half of Birmingham when, with Morgan Rogers celebrating what looked like a priceless Aston Villa goal, he mistakenly blew for a free-kick to Manchester United.

It fell to his club to intervene on his behalf, complaining that Bramall was too inexperienced to have been given a game of this magnitude. Frankly, they had a point. This was comfortably the highest-profile of the 11 Premier League matches Bramall had been allocated during the 2024-25 campaign, with every moment amplified by the size of the stakes.

On a chilly winter morning in far west New South Wales a small cluster of people stands solemnly over the grave of Sergeant John Everett Lumley. Sergeant Lumley, a NSW Police officer and veteran of the Boer War, died in 1919 aged 39 while posted in the small community of Tibooburra shortly after being hospitalised due to illness, diagnosed at the time as "paralysis". However, until recently, his final resting place was little more than a bare patch of gravel in the Broken Hill Cemetery.

You could understand what he meant. In the days leading up to this final, Arsenal as an institution had been derided as specialists in failure, with fans suffering through the spectacle of Tottenham trooping down the Seven Sisters Road on an open-top bus, clutching a trophy despite lying 15 places below them in the Premier League. "It's the embarrassment of getting nothing this season, when we've played so well this season with the men," Wright said.

The quest to revive Manchester United has become football’s equivalent of trying to solve Fermat’s Last Theorem, a proposition so fiendish that it threatens to leave even the game’s most cerebral managers whimpering in despair. Ruben Amorim was crushed by the apparent futility of it all in the wake of his team’s tepid loss to Tottenham in the Europa League final, urging the club to show “faith” in reaching for the stars with his eyes fixed firmly on the floor.

An even more urgent priority for United is to resolve the situation around their loan deals. Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Antony manifestly have no future under Amorim, with United poised to recoup as much as £100 million should all three transfers be made permanent by Aston Villa, Chelsea and Real Betis. This at least would fortify the war chest to pursue the targets most coveted by the manager, in Wolves' Matheus Cunha and Ipswich's Liam Delap.
