Spectacular summer of sport

Hard on the heels of the most exciting finish to the Premiership season for years, football fans are counting down the days till the Euros begin with a spectacular summer of sport lined up across the globe. The excitement of 2012 will be hard to beat, but if the Rio Olympics are anything like the World Cup was in Brazil, we are in for a real treat as Team GB again go for gold. At Wimbledon, in July, Andy Murray will once again give it his all attempting to dethrone Novak Djokovic, and as summer closes there’s the thrill of the Ryder Cup to look forward to in early October.

Kicking off this Friday, June 10th, the eyes of the world will be on France as the world’s greatest players begin a four-week feast of football. 24 teams will be competing in France with Spain (who won the last two Euros) looking to make it a hat-trick. As tension mounts and the countdown to the tournament begins, fans can start planning their tournament with all the latest news from UEFA’s website .

Rio 2016 promises yet more valour and teamwork as it delivers 42 Olympic sports, 306 events over the course of 19 days with 136 medals contested for women, 161 for men and nine mixed medals. Sebastian Coe, a two-time Olympic champion in the 1500m and the man who oversaw the successful delivery of the London 2012 Games, has hailed the “unique spirit” of Rio as the key ingredient to the success of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2016. He predicts that records will tumble on the superfast track at Rio 2016 and said, “Don’t for one moment overlook the unique spirit of this city, it’s an extraordinary city and it will absorb the Games. I think people will be surprised by the spirit these Games will generate.” Details of dates, events, latest news and the torch relay countdown can all be found on the official Rio 2016 website. 

So relax, enjoy and above all be inspired by a spectacular summer of sport.
