Could this man be about to captain the lions in the first test, we will find out later this evening. And and a career in football as part of womens sport week we meet the 16 year old female goalkeeper with high aspirations. Good evening, plenty to get through tonight including the latest cricket from the rose bowl where england are playing south africa in the first of the t20 series but we start with day two of royal ascot and shortly after delivering her speech to the House Of Commons the queen dashed to ascot for her regular appearance at one of her favourite sporting events. For her regular appearance at one of herfavourite sporting events. She saw the favourite Highland Reel win the day s big race. Richard conway was watching. Day two has drawn to a close and what a day of racing it was. In the feature race the prince of wales stakes it was Highland Reel who took the honours, ryan moore, when he hit the front about a furlong out it did not look like anything was going to stop him. It was 33 degrees today, the dress code relaxed in the royal enclosure, gentlemen with their jackets relaxed in the royal enclosure, gentlemen with Theirjackets Off and of course the queen after dispensing with her duties at the state 0pening of parliament this morning arriving here to take place in the royal box to oversee proceedings. Tomorrow it will be slightly cooler, about 26 degrees which is good news for those with a runner in the feature race which is of course the ascot gold cup. Aidan 0brien looking to add to last year s win, it will again be Order Of Saint George you start as favourite, even money at the moment. Coolmore, after a disappointing start, nine runners for aidan 0brien yesterday, no winners, back on track today and he will want the gold cup tomorrow. More from ascot throughout the week. Its been a mixed week for british tennis. Andy murrays defeat at queens yesterday was one of five for the men and now naomi broadys loss at birmingham means only jo konta is left in that tournament. Broady was beaten in straight sets by the two times wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova as ben croucher reports. Naomi brody has had every reason to smile this week, one of her biggest wins in the first round in her home tournament on her favourite surface and a spot in wimbledon confirmed this morning. I win over a two time wimbledon champion could keep grinning for the list of the year but sadly Petra Kvitova is quite handy as well and made the experience and expertise apparent. Four straight games and the first set was gone, as was the chirpy demeanour. In its place a frustrated figure as Petra Kvitova continued a torrid afternoon for the british number two. Eton mess at the net or power from the baseline it wasnt bad for a player who did not even know she would be fit for the grass court season. It finished 6 2, 6 2, sometimes all you can do is hold your hands up and smile when your opponent plays that well. Good to see her back on court, another upset at queens, yesterday all three top seeds including andy murray were knocked out in the first round and today fifth seeded Jo Wilfried Tsonga joined them beaten in straight sets by Gilles Muller of luxembourg. For for the first time in seven years, Novak Djokovic will play a grass Court Tournament in the build up to wimbledon. He will play in the Aegon International at eastbourne for the first time next week, after accepting a wild card. The serb is down to number four in the world and hasnt won a grand slam since last years french open. One of the big stories from last years wimbledon was the run of britains Marcus Willis who came through six matches in qualifying and ended up playing Roger Federer on centre court. Willis has been handed a wild card into this years qualifying with james ward receiving a wild card for the main draw, along with Heather Watson and laura robson. Portugal had beaten russia 1 0 in groupa of portugal had beaten russia 1 0 in group a of the confederations cup, portugal insisted Cristiano Ronaldo was focused on the match despite yesterday receiving a court date for tax evasion charges, that appeared the case when he scored the only goal after eight minutes. He had several more chances but it remained 10. Several more chances but it remained 1 0. Mexico against new zealand in the other fixture today. Coming up tonight. I am in ukraine were english boxers have been picking up the medals at the european championships. In less than 90 minutes time the British And Irish Lions coach Warren Gatland will announce the first team for the first test against new zealand in auckland on saturday. As well as the starting 15 the big Talking Point is who will be captain with Sam Warburton still on his way back from injury. Plenty of suggestions peter 0mahony will be the Surprise Choice to lead the side so the Surprise Choice to lead the side so what do we know about him . Some fa cts so what do we know about him . Some facts coming up, what we know so far about peter 0mahony. So lets hear from someone who knows him very well. Lets hear from Ireland International cj stander. He works hard for the team, hes a good leader and he shows it, his heart is on his sleeve, there are a lot of leaders like him, he shows it on the pitch. There are a lot of leaders in the group. Everyone pushes each other on. Four orfive the group. Everyone pushes each other on. Four or five voices the group. Everyone pushes each other on. Four Orfive Voices in the group. Everyone pushes each other on. Four or five voices in the squad. If he gets a captaincy this weekend we will see the squad push on, hes ready to step up, hes ready to do it. Full of praise. Well one man who knows all about the factors to take into consideration when picking a lions side is former coach sir ian mcgeechan. The scot was in charge on four lions tours, winning in australia in 1989 and south africa in 1997. Lets hear what he has to say. Lets hear what he has to saym you had said to me what is one of the most difficult periods on a lions tour, it sitting down with the other coaches and picking the first test tea m. Other coaches and picking the first test team. Because you have all that information, you have the question, and there are some areas you are thinking, iam and there are some areas you are thinking, i am not sure, and there are some areas you are thinking, iam not sure, should it be that we are that way . I have never voted in picking a test team, a lwa ys never voted in picking a test team, always talked it through until we get to what we want to see and what we are comfortable with. But that is probably the most difficult because the impact when that is announced internally. The environment is made by everyone, not one or two individuals. Because its the, to me its the complementary, teamwork is complementary. Its not the same people thinking the same way doing the same things. It actually people bring their own talents to a grip, they share it and then collectively move it on together. Some make changes, some adapt, some add things, stick to other things. But ultimately what you end up with is the reflection of what that group is and what it represents. We will find out the team later on tonight bid in the last few minutes the All Blacks Tea M the last few minutes the all blacks team to face them on saturday has been announced. There is one spot in the squad left to be filled with the final place being decided on thursday. There will be a radio five live special at 7 30pm wants the squad is announced and we know more what is going on. Imagine two of your most prized possessions were stolen, how would you get them back . Kadeena cox had two of her World Championship gold medals stolen from her car but the story has a happy ending and joining us story has a happy ending and joining us from arizona is the woman herself to tell it, thank you for giving up yourtime, to tell it, thank you for giving up your time, first of all tell us what happened, how did you lose them in the first place . I am partly to blame for leaving them in my car i left them in my car after doing some filming, took four of odd but did not have enough hands to take the rest, let them in the car overnight and somebody broke in and them. How much do these medals mean to you because they were very special . Yes, my first gold medals, my first major titles and i earned them just a year and a half and two years after getting diagnosed with a mess so they meant a lot because they meant about the journey and battle to get to that point i was gutted they were gone. How did you get them back, its been quite an adventure . Gone. How did you get them back, its been quite an adventure7m gone. How did you get them back, its been quite an adventure . It was pretty awesome, i learned about the power of social media. Initially i just treated and posted on facebook and got thousands of retweet and shares and then a couple of newspapers, the Manchester Evening News and the yorkshire one did an article on it and i got a phone call this morning. How did you feel when you were told they were coming back home . I was half asleep because it was for 30 am over here when they called me but i was happy because ive got to a point where i did not think i would see them again but i was trying to put that to the back of my mind. To know i have got them backis of my mind. To know i have got them back is a massive relief. Massive relief, well ban, or your initiative, getting out on social media, brilliant, thank you for talking to us. There are six events plans for british athletes to receive medals at this summers london World Championships that they missed out on because of russian doping cases are still up in the air. Reports today suggested that athletes including Jessica Ennis hill would be denied the chance to receive them at the championships in august because of russian legal action. But it appears that the gb mens 4x400 relay squad will be handed retrospective bronze medals. 0ur Sports Reporter David 0rnstein joins me to explain more. What is going on and why could the mens four by 400 metres team get the medals but others not . The International Olympic committee and the iaaf, Athletics World Governing Body have been retesting stored Doping Samples recently and so far britain have come in line for five 0lympic Britain Have come in line for five olympic and two World Championship upgrades as a result, the olympic ones are all from 2008 in beijing, the mens and womens four by 400 metres bronze, the womensjavelin for Goldie Sayers another bronze and the heptathlon with Kelly Southington A further bronze. The heptathlon, Jessica Ennis hill been upgraded to gold and jo pavey in the king came from 2007, that would be a bronze as well. The British Olympic Association is in possession of the mens four by 400 metre 0lympic medals from beijing so are in a position to give them to the guys and that will happen sometime soon. But with the rest of the medals weve just mentioned they are still in the Legal Process so they cannot be awarded yet. Is there any chance these guys may not get the medals with all this action going on, Jessica Ennis hill, jo pavey, is there a chance they will miss out altogether . The mens four by 400 metres will definitely get them, they just need to metres will definitely get them, theyjust need to decide when and where that will happen. In terms of Jessica Ennis hill and jo pavey from the World Championships, if a quick decision is made with the appeals it could happen at the World Championships because its an iaaf event which is where they are due the medals from. With the olympic events its compensated. But these appeals are ongoing so if they dont overturn them theres a chance they will not get the medals. Thank you. British Amateur Boxing is going to a real boom period at the moment, there has been unprecedented success at world and european level. 12 british fighters have just qualified for the World Championships later this year by reaching the quarterfinals of the europeans in ukraine and that is where david sent us ukraine and that is where david sent us this report. A very good afternoon for english boxers here, they entered four into Quarterfinal Bouts and all four came through to the semifinals, guaranteed bronze and also the World Championship spot in the bag as well. The pick of the bunch was this man, 26 years old, his First International major up against a former 0lympic, his First International major up against a former olympic, and World Champion from azerbaijan. As you can see, he stunned him not once but twice in the first round to record and memorable tko. As you can see hes very emotional and perhaps realising a man who has twice been pronounced clinically dead in his life before taking up boxing that would explain why. When i was eight years old i was playing Hide And Seek andl years old i was playing Hide And Seek and i climbed up a ladder and its split and i fell and landed on a spike andl its split and i fell and landed on a spike and i went to hospital and died on the table. And in 20081 spike and i went to hospital and died on the table. And in 2008 i had an appendix, went to hospital where they operated on me but it burst inside me and on the table again, flat line. I have been to gb before and had trials and not got on, but i just persevered. Incredible stuff. Three other english boxers are through to semifinals. Luke mccormick amongst them, add light welterweight, he could be the first of three boxers from gateshead to secure european medals this week. 0ver secure european medals this week. Over the moon, secure european medals this week. 0verthe moon, im boxing the best ive boxed, two years ago i got silver at the european championships, beat by the russian but their own thought i had won. I have already beaten one russians or no stopping me know. One more medal this afternoon for British Isles interest, Northern Ireland but fighting for the republic of ireland, through to the semifinals at ba ntamweight. That ireland, through to the semifinals at bantamweight. That has a good tradition in irish boxing, his predecessor was Michael Conlan former world and olympic medallist. Big shoes to fill for court walker. So far so good for him and so far so good for english boxers and i am sure there is more to come. David mcdaid reporting from the ukraine. A Career Playing Sport is what many young people dream of, and as part of womens sport week we sent former england goalkeeper Rachel Brown Finnis to meet a 16 year old female footballer who hopes to earn a living from the game. But as rachels been finding out, although there are increasing opportunities for girls, there can be more challenges than for boys. Womens football in england has never had it so good. In the couple of years since i hung up my gloves we have seen our of years since i hung up my gloves we have seen our women of years since i hung up my gloves we have seen our women win world cup bronze, the Womens Super League a Track Record Crowds and clubs like Manchester City mix it with the best in the world. For the next generation of girls professional football is now a very real possibility. Just like liverpool ladies new signing 16 year old emily ramsey. Since i was six, seven, eight years old i wanted to play football. In school they would ask what you wanted to do and i said i wa nted what you wanted to do and i said i wanted to be a footballer. I know you had a career aside from football, but with the increase in pay and awareness and sponsorship and stuff like that, people have the opportunity to play football without having to have that career because if you train full time how do you fit at the rear end . I know i must have been difficult. I had some fantastic memories in the stadium and hopefully emily is no other club integrated with the world and to make some of her own. She did not have that opportunity at her previous club. She used to play for Manchester United but they are the only team without a team for girls over16 only team without a team for girls over 16 and the girls set up a separate.
