Olivia Attwood has made another apparent reference to Emily Rose Moloney after previously writing about a "bit on the side" and a "professional bench warmer" amid the fallout from her relationship with Bradley Dack.
The former Love Island contestant reacted to a TikTok comparing women named Emily with women named Olivia, leaving a brief comment days after Dack was photographed spending time with Moloney.
Attwood did not name Moloney or explicitly state that her reaction concerned Dack.
The TikTok carried the caption, "You're either an Emily or an Olivia and I know who I'd rather be." Attwood appeared in the comment section with "OMG" and a crying emoji, according to The Sun.
Dack had recently been photographed with Moloney, whom he knew before his long-running relationship with Attwood. The photographs showed Dack and Moloney walking together and returning to a London property. Their appearance followed reports earlier in the year that they had reconnected.

Remember the name, Erin Boothman.
Already projected to be the next big thing in Scottish cycling, the 19-year-old lived up to early expectations, kickstarting a lively and medal-laden night at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome - a place she has been coming to for a decade.
She looked right at home, beating reigning Commonwealth Games champion Bryony Botha to bronze in the women's 4,000m individual pursuit before reappearing in the 10,000m scratch race final "expecting nothing".
A photo-finish, but ultimate fourth-place finish was exciting enough, but as she made her round the mixed zone, news hit that she was upgraded to third. Another bronze in the bag.
A third for Scotland on Friday, with Fin Graham grabbing the slab of metal in the men's C1-C3 1000m TT final.

Preparations for the Women's Under-20 World Cup in Poland are continuing despite boycott threats from UEFA over FIFA's investor plans, the Polish football ******* ociation said on Friday.
UEFA has threatened to boycott FIFA events, including World Cups, if the investor plans are not dropped.
The women's youth World Cup is scheduled to take place from September 5 to 27. The Polish ******* ociation said: "As hosts, we are ready to stage the tournament and are consistently implementing all preparations according to plan."
It added that it was in constant contact with its partners at UEFA and was acting in accordance with their joint agreements: "We are confident that the current situation will soon be resolved, so that young female footballers from around the world can take part in this tournament in Poland - for many of them the fulfilment of a dream and an important milestone in their careers."
FIFA has said it wants to raise billions by selling a portion of its commercial rights, including those to the World Cup. UEFA and its 55 member ******* ociations responded by threatening that no UEFA national teams would participate in any FIFA competition for as long as the proposals remained on the table.

Team Northern Ireland boxers Michaela Walsh, Kaci Rock and Jon McConnell won their respective semi-finals to move into Saturday's gold medal bouts.
Walsh defeated Fiji's Jasmine Daunakamakama in the women's featherweight by unanimous decision.
The 33-year-old edged a cagey first round with her experience telling in the next two rounds which she also won as she eased to victory.
The Holy Family fighter, who has earned a medal in each of her four successive Games appearances, will look to win back-to-back golds after triumphing four years ago, having won silver in Glasgow in 2014 and at the Gold Coast Games in 2018.
She will face India's Jaismine Jaismine in the final, but plans to enjoy her semi-final win which guarantees at least another silver, by completing her Irish lesson for the day on the language app Duolingo.

LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England – For Georgia Hall, the fairytale finish wasn't meant to be, though she will certainly have memories and photos to cherish.
Hall returned to Royal Lytham and St. Annes, site of her major championship triumph eight years ago, with infant son Conor and fiancé Paul Dunne by her side. It was a lovely family event, even if her golf at the 2026 AIG Women's British Open didn't get her to the weekend. Hall shot 76-72 to finish at 6 over for the championship. The cut fell at 4 over, with 66 players advancing.
"I had a picture with him on 18 and that will definitely be my screen saver," said Hall. "I have my whole life there with Paul. It's lovely. It's a shame he's not a bit older, but I'm really grateful that I kind of made it back here and everything went well enough in the birth to allow me to play."
It was a tough week for moms, in fact, as only Alison Lee (4 over) has a Saturday tee time. Royal Lytham was the site of Catriona Matthew's incredible feat in 2009, when she triumphed only 11 weeks after giving birth to daughter Sophie.
Perhaps the most shocking player to miss the cut this week was defending champion Miyu Yamashita, who made a quadruple-bogey eight on the par-4 18th after bunker trouble and a triple on the par-4 third. Yamashita shot 77 on Friday to finish at 7 over for the tournament. It marked her first missed cut in a major since the 2024 British Open.

England's Acelya Toprak overcame India's Yamini Mourya in the women's -57kg judo final to win the gold medal at the Commonwealth Games.
In an exhausting bout that went to golden score and lasted almost seven minutes, Toprak eventually forced Mourya into a third shido to claim victory.
The 28-year-old had won silver in 2022 but managed to go one better this time around in Glasgow.
"My last Commonwealth Games went exactly the same way. In the final it was two shidos each, we were into four-and-a-half minutes of extra time and I made that one misstep, over-stretched and got caught," Toprak told BBC Sport.
"So I'm very happy that this time I didn't do that, because that's shattering, that hurts.

On Friday, members of the Oregon women's basketball team filed a petition for union representation with the Oregon Employment Relations Board, marking the latest unionization effort in college sports—and the first based solely on public sector state labor laws.
The effort was led by the United College Athletes **** ociation, a 501(c)(5) labor union founded by former NCAA track athlete Andrew Cooper,which has been working to organize women's basketball specifically since 2024. While this is the first formal move toward unionization, the UCAA says it has more than 100 women's basketball players who have signed "unionization authorization cards."
The UCAA's advisory board includes current and former members of professional sports unions, including NWSLPA executive director Meghann Burke and WNBPA president Nneka Ogwumike, as well as former National Labor Relations Board executives.
"We deserve a seat at the table, meaningful protections, fair compensation, and a collective bargaining agreement that raises the standard for everyone," Maryland women's basketball player Oluchi Okananwa, the interim president of the UCAA, said in a statement. "This work is bigger than any one season or generation. We are building lasting power for the athletes competing today and those who will come after us."
The news comes just several days after a separate organization, the College Football Players **** ociation, launched an organizing effort among football players at Stanford. Unlike the UCAA's effort, however, Stanford football players aren't filing for formal union authorization just yet—they're waiting for a more favorable political climate.

Less than two weeks after what was considered a successful World Cup, FIFA is drawing the wrong kind of headlines.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino has brought forth a proposal to all of its 211 member ****** ociations to raise $20 billion through private investment by selling stakes in the top FIFA-run tournaments. That would include both the men's and women's World Cups.
The backlash has already started from confederations, including UEFA, which governs European soccer. But while calls to reject the plan have been loud, all Infantino needs is 106 of 211 votes to move forward. The cash infusion for bigger member ****** ociations, like Spain, France and England, among many others, is nothing compare to what the money could do for smaller countries looking to further develop the programs in their respective countries.
Here's a rundown of what's at stake and what could happen next.
Infantino, who has been in charge of FIFA since 2016, wants to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors, including Joshua Kushner, the brother of U.S. President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner. The transaction would be done through Thrive Capital, a venture-capital firm.

With the 2026 MLB Trade Deadline rapidly approaching this Monday, we're entering the final stretch as teams try to bolster their rosters and make one last postseason push. Since it's the final episode before the Baseball Bar-B-Cast Trade Deadline live show, we had to welcome ESPN Senior Baseball Reporter Jeff Passan to discuss all the potential deals that might—or might not—go down.
On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman chat with Jeff about whether Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal is likely to be on the move, why he'd love to see him stay in the Motor City and whether anyone can stop the Los Angeles Dodgers from acquiring him. The guys then dive into why the San Diego Padres' asking price for closer Mason Miller is higher than anyone expected, which teams to keep an eye on before Monday's 6 p.m. ET deadline and what David Stearns might do with the New York Mets roster as they navigate a disappointing season.
Later in the show, Jake and Jordan make their weekly picks for The Good, The Bad & The Uggla, including the Tigers calling up top prospect Max Clark and San Francisco Giants outfielder Harrison Bader getting into a scooter accident that ended his season. They also talk about the Women's Professional Baseball League kicking off this weekend and Joel Embiid posting about baseball.

Chelsea have signed Italy midfielder Giulia Dragoni from Barcelona on a four-year contract.
The 19-year-old spent the past two seasons on loan at Roma, and Chelsea have been tracking her progress for several years.
Dragoni has 24 caps for Italy, having made her international debut aged 16, and has experience in the Women's Champions League.
"I still can't believe I have signed for Chelsea," said Dragoni.
"When I was a child, not even in my biggest dreams did I think I would sign for Chelsea. It's unbelievable. I'm really excited.

Defending champions Aryna Sabalenka and Jannik Sinner top the 2026 U.S. Open entry list for tennis' final Grand Slam of the year.
Sabalenka is the two-time champion and is hoping to become the first woman to win three consecutive U.S. Open crowns since 2012-2014, when Serena Williams won the last of her six ******* les at Flushing Meadows.
Four other former women's U.S. Open champions are in the field, with 2024 winner Coco Gauff, Iga Swiatek (2022), Naomi Osaka (2018, 2020) and Emma Raducanu (2021), looking to win their first Slam of the year.
There will be eight wild cards and 16 qualifiers among the 128 main-draw entries. It is not yet known whether Serena Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam winner, will compete in New York after making a return appearance at Wimbledon earlier this summer. Williams lost in Wimbledon's first round to Australian Maya Joint.
The three women who won Grand Slams this year are also in the field, led by Australian Open champion Elena Rybakina, Mirra Andreeva, who won at Roland Garros, and Wimbledon winner Linda Noskova.

A couple weeks after losing draft pick and development player Justine ******* ott to the Las Vegas Aces, the Indiana Fever filled their second development spot.
The Fever announced Friday that they have signed Ugonne "Michelle" Onyiah to their development roster, joining Bree Hall on the Fever's development squad.
Onyiah, a 6-3 forward, played at the University of California-Berkeley from 2020-25. She was a key rotational player for all five of her years at Cal, and shot a conference-leading 60.3% from the field as a full-time starter in her final season in 2024-25. She was not picked in the 2025 WNBA Draft, then spent a year overseas playing in Belgium with Basket Namur Capitale, averaging 11.1 points and 8.4 rebounds per game.
She got her first shot in the WNBA in New York this year, signing a rookie-scale contract with the Liberty ahead of 2026 training camp, but she was not able to make either of the Liberty's preseason games because of overseas commitments and was ultimately waived ahead of the regular season on May 7.
Onyiah then signed with the Upshot League, a new women's basketball league that started in 2026. She played on the Charlotte Crown, averaging 9.6 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks per game.

Cricket Ireland says "appropriate" security plans have been drawn up for the forthcoming men's one-day series against Afghanistan amid the possibility of protests.
The governing body has been liaising with stakeholders, including the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI), to ensure the five ODIs pass off without incident.
Cricket Ireland's decision to host the series has been criticised because of the plight of women in Afghanistan who face severe restrictions on their rights and freedoms, with widespread barriers to education, employment, movement, public participation and personal autonomy under Taliban rule.
The first two ODIs will be played in Bready next Wednesday and Friday, with the remaining three fixtures at Stormont on 10, 12 and 15 August.
"Appropriate security measures are in place, and all necessary arrangements have been made to ensure the safety and security of players, supporters, officials and staff," Cricket Ireland told BBC Sport in a statement.

It wasn't the colour she wanted, but Caitlin Rainey made history by claiming Scotland's first medal in women's boxing at a Commonwealth Games by taking bronze on Friday.
The 23-year-old lost on split-decision to Northern Ireland's Kaci Rock, having taken the first round in their semi-final bout.
Rock landed an impressive hit at the end of the second to force a nail-bitingly close final round, which just went in her favour.
Taxi driver Rainey was naturally disappointed with the outcome having "just fallen short" but she was able to find the positives in her historic performance at these Games.
"I'm proud of myself and I hope I've made my family proud by doing this," she said.

The Tour de France Femmes begins on Saturday with possibly the most difficult route yet for women's cycling's flagship race.
This year the peloton will tackle the infamous Mont Ventoux on a gruelling stage seven, the queen stage of the nine-day race, but the battle for the general classification could go right down to the wire with four summits of the Col d'Eze, outside Nice, crammed into less than 100km in an explosive final stage.
Dutchwoman and 2023 champion Demi Vollering is arguably the favourite to regain her crown but will face fierce competition from reigning champion Pauline Ferrand-Prevot, who has had a mixed season but with everything building towards her **** le defence, and 2024 winner Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney, who has finished on the podium in every edition.
Elsewhere Britain's Zoe Backstedt is one of the favourites to take a maiden stage win on stage four's individual time trial, as the 21-year-old makes her Tour de France debut.
Here's everything you need to know to watch the race.

When Ayami Sato takes the mound as the starting pitcher for the Los Angeles Queens on Saturday, it will be the culmination of a professional career that has spanned 16 years and three countries. The right-handed hurler is largely considered the best pitcher in the history of women's baseball. She has the awards and experience to prove it, and now she's taking on America when she makes her debut in the Women's Professional Baseball League, the first pro women's baseball league in the United States since the 1950s.
Even though most Americans tuning into the WPBL may not have heard of her, Sato's resume speaks for itself. Sato's fastball has been clocked at nearly 80mph and her curveball has a devastating spin rate that is higher than many Major League Baseball pitchers. As a member of the ****** an National Team since 2010, Sato has won six gold medals. She is the only player in Women's Baseball World Cup history to win three consecutive MVP awards. As a member of the now-defunct ****** an's Women's Baseball League, Sato led the league in strikeouts in three of the last four seasons. And most recently, in 2024 she became the first woman to play pro baseball in Canada as a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs of the Intercounty Baseball League.
Now, she is bringing her talent to the US and the WPBL. "This is a brand new league for all of us," Sato tells the Guardian through a translator. "So I also want to approach it with the mindset of a rookie –staying curious, paying attention to everything around me, and embracing this new challenge with an open mind."
The league will play all its games in a centralized location for its first season, at Robin Roberts Stadium in Springfield, Illinois. There are four teams – the Queens, the New York Heights, the San Francisco Firebells and the Boston Hunters. And the best players from all over the world will take the field together for the first time as one league, including at least nine players from the US women's national baseball team. On the Queens, Sato will play alongside USA star third baseman Ashton Lansdell and Little League World Series star Mo'ne Davis.
WPBL co-founder and commissioner Justine Seigel says it was always the plan to recruit internationally for the league. "We want many of the best players, and to have many of the best players, you have to go out into the world and find the best shortstop in Venezuela, and who's pitching in ****** an," Seigel says. "It's also fun because baseball is baseball, but it's also got its own little nuances country-to-country, and it's kind of fun to see in a game, as well."

A fundraising weekend has kicked off in memory of 20-year-old cricketer Josh Baker, who died suddenly in 2024.
For the second year running, Blue for Bakes is being hosted at Worcestershire County Cricket Club, starting at New Road as the Men's Rapids take on Middlesex.
The weekend will culminate at Astwood Bank Cricket Club on Sunday as the Women's Rapids take on Kent at the Josh Baker Oval.
"It's humbling," Josh's father, Paul Baker, told BBC Hereford and Worcester, adding: "It seems to be bigger and better than last year so we're nervously looking forward to the weekend."
Visitors are encouraged to wear blue in tribute to Josh.

The Women's British Open continues on Friday with second-round action, as the field of 144 players faces the pressure of the cut. After 36 holes, only the top 65 competitors and ties will advance to the weekend at the Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club in Lancashire, England.
Shiho Kuwaki and Yealimi Noh sit comfortably atop the leaderboard after two rounds, both with a six-under overall score and heading into the weekend leading the field.
Jeeno Thitikul, currently ranked second in the world, also made a strong start after two rounds, securing her spot for the weekend. Thitikul impressed in the opening round, carding a 7-under 64 with seven birdies and no bogeys. Although her second round was more challenging, producing just one birdie against three bogeys, Thitikul remains at five under par overall and will continue the battle for the top of the leaderboard on Saturday.
As the second round draws to a close, the projected cut line sits at four-over par. Here is a closer look at the bubble players, those hovering around the cut line, who are fighting to keep their championship hopes alive.

Gotham FC and U.S. women's national team defender Emily Sonnett will miss the rest of the NWSL season after undergoing surgery to repair the ruptured patellar tendon in her left knee.
The 32-year-old Sonnett suffered the non-contact injury in the seventh minute of last Friday's 2-2 draw with the Portland Thorns. After being tended to by medical personnel, she was stretched off the Providence Park field.
"Emily has the full support of everyone at the club, and we will be with her every step of the way throughout her recovery," said team president of soccer operations Yael Averbuch West. "She is incredibly resilient, and we know she will return stronger."
Since signing with Gotham FC in 2024, Sonnett has made 64 appearances for the club, helping them to the NWSL Championship and Concacaf W Champions Cup last season and the 2026 NWSL Challenge Cup. No other player in league history has won league **** les with three different teams.
The three-time All-NWSL defender has also represented the USWNT 118 times since debuting in 2015. She has played in two Women's World Cups and two Olympics.

The popularity of WNBA superstar Sophie Cunningham continues to soar. Since emerging as an "enforcer" for Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark, Cunningham has built a cult following on social media.
She has been consistently landing new brand deals, popping up in commercials, and even landing a cushy studio job with USA TODAY Sports during the season.
Recently, Cunningham returned to the headlines when she made controversial comments about transgender athletes participating in women's sports. Cunningham made it clear that while there is "room to love everyone," young girls should be protected.

Team Northern Ireland boxer Kaci Rock won her women's welterweight semi-final against Scotland's Caitlyn Rainey by split decision after a ferocious fight.
The 23-year-old had work to do after losing the first round at the SEC Centre but she fought back well in a much-tighter second round and pressed on in the third to take a narrow 3-2 victory.
Rock will now move through to Saturday's final for the chance to come away from her first Commonwealth Games with a gold medal, but she is at least guaranteed a silver.
She was the first of five Team NI boxers looking to upgrade on the bronze they have already won.

Forty-eight hours is how long Team USA had to train together for the first day of the International Cup in Oklahoma City.
Players fresh off the NCAA softball and AUSL seasons make up the U.S. Women's Elite Team's 18-person roster of veterans and newcomers.
But something must have clicked in those two days as the U.S. Women's Elite Team fought together from a late deficit against No. 5 Chinese Taipei to a 6-4 victory in extra innings.
Thursday night at Devon Park was all about the former Duke star who didn't even start the game but sent in two home runs, Ana Gold.
"Playing for USA means so much more to me (than college)," Gold said. "It's just such an honor and a privilege to wear this jersey."

The WNBA is back with a new collective bargaining agreement and million dollar players.
The Las Vegas Aces will be looking to run it back as defending champs with the reigning MVP, A'ja Wilson, leading the way. Lots of other contenders hope to have something to say about that including the Atlanta Dream, New York Liberty and Indiana Fever. The Fever, who were without floor leader Caitlin Clark for much of last season, are fully healthy. The Liberty, who were also bitten by the injury bug last season, already have Sabrina Ionesco on the sidelines after she rolled her ankle in a preseason game against the Connecticut Sun.
The Atlanta Dream also made the trade of the offseason, getting Angel Reese from the Chicago Sky to add to a roster which won 30 games last season.

This spring, the NCAA passed a rule that allows men's and women's college basketball programs to participate in an international summer trip every year, rather than just one every four years.
These trips are important because they allow teams to have extra practice time, face true competition, and build team chemistry. For fans, the trips offer a unique experience: traveling with the team or watching them on TV, building excitement for the upcoming season.
In his first press conference of the summer, Mark Pope talked about his hope for an additional rule change to summer trips, allowing them to be done in the states.
"There is one of the things that we're excited about, potentially coming down the pipeline that we've been pushing for, is now we're allowed to take international trips every single year. We'd like to actually make that something that could be done domestically," Pope said.
Pope argues that this is a way to bring more attention to college basketball in the summer.
