As Paris prepares to host the Olympics next week, a popular French pastime won't be featured in the Summer Games.

The objective is to get as close as possible to a small wooden ball, the jack," explains Damien Stoffel from the CLAP pétanque club. "After all the balls are thrown, we count...

The team of two-time individual gold medalist Kiefer, silver medalist Lauren Scruggs, Jacqueline Dubrovich and Maia Weintraub held on for a 45-39 win over Italy in the final. “A team medal for this Olympic Games was my true dream.

A fencing club in Kent has said it will not be able to train new members unless it can find a new venue where it will also need to store beginners' equipment. Royal Tunbridge Wells Fencing Club (RTWFC) has been based at the Army Reserve centre in the town for 15 years but must leave by September, its chairman explained. Martin Briggs, said the club had a strong youth squad with many competing at international level but it would not be able to develop the next generation of fencers unless a suitable venue was found.
