Diving: Chinese five-times Olympic gold medal-winning diver Chen Ruolin (right) has been forced to retire at the age of 23 due to a problematic neck injury, the country’s diving team manager Zhou Jihong has said. Chen, who also claimed six World Championship titles, won the 10-metre individual and synchronised events at the Beijing and London Olympics before adding a final synchronised gold with partner Liu Huixia at Rio this year. “She has a neck injury which may cause some problems if she continues with her career,” Zhou was quoted as saying. Chen, along with diver Wu Minxia and gymnast Zhou Kai, holds the record for most Olympic golds by a Chinese athlete.

Tennis: Mexican player Daniel Garza has been suspended for six months and fined $5,000 after being found guilty of match-fixing, the Tennis Integrity Unit (TIU) said. The 31-year-old, ranked 1,065th in singles, had attempted to influence the outcome of a match at an ITF Futures tournament at Calabasas, California, in March 2015, the sport’s corruption watchdog said. The case, based on a TIU investigation, was heard in Miami last month. Garza, who achieved a career-high ranking of 294 in 2012, was banned with immediate effect, the TIU said in a statement.

Love has recorded 22 PGA Tour victories, including the 1997 PGA Championship, and played in six Ryder Cups and six Presidents Cups. He also captained two Ryder Cup sides including the victorious team in Minnesota earlier this month.
