Gymnastics: Simone Biles recorded yet another crushing victory at the US Olympic women’s gymnastics trials on Sunday, sending a clear message to her rivals that Rio Games gold is her next target. The three-time reigning world all-around champion will lead a powerhouse US squad into Rio that includes Gabby Douglas and Aly Raisman, 16-year-old Lauren Hernandez and Madison Kocian. Biles punched her ticket to Rio in what has become typically ruthless style outdistancing the rest of the elite 14 women field by 2.100 points.

Athletics: Brendon Rodney became only the second Canadian to break 20 seconds in the 200 metres as he won Canada’s Olympic trials in 19.96 seconds on Sunday. The 24-year-old eclipsed his personal best of 20.18 seconds as he defeated the better-known Aaron Brown and Andre De Grasse in Edmonton, Canada. Brown and De Grasse also dipped under the Olympic standard as they both were timed in 20.32 seconds.

Golf: American Brittany Lang won her first major title in dramatic fashion at the US Women’s Open on Sunday after her play-off opponent, Anna Nordqvist, was assessed a two-stroke penalty for grounding a club in a bunker. Following a video review by United States Golf Association officials, Swede Nordqvist was penalised for her actions in a fairway bunker on the second extra hole, the par-four 17th, where her five-iron lightly grazed the sand on her takeaway.
