๐ The perfect way to finish my career
G'day sports fans,
๐ด STATION ONE UPDATE: Liam said he jumped out lovely at Pakenham yesterday. He's come back bigger, stronger, and more mature, which is great to hear! A couple more jump-outs, then it's off to the races!
*Short and sweet today, as the newsletter platform was down all day, sort it out Twitter.
๐ BACK ON FRIDAY WITH A BUMPER ISSUE.

COMMONWEALTH GAMES:
๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ Australiaโs superstar sprinter Rohan Browning has bounced back from disappointing world championships to deliver a statement in a sizzling 100m heat (10.10 secs).

๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅAustralia's superstar swimmers have swept the field to take all three medals in a surprising finish to the blue ribbon 100m women's freestyle.
Eighteen-year-old Mollie O'Callaghan upset Olympic champion Emma McKeon to take the gold.
It was beautiful redemption for Shayna Jack in her comeback from suspension and injury, claiming second in front of McKeon in third.
An emotional O'Callaghan called McKeon her "absolute idol" and congratulated Jack after the race.
๐ฅ Australia's Matthew Temple has picked up a silver medal in the men's 100m butterfly, finishing ahead of former pop star Cody Simpson in his first international final.
Simpson touched the wall in fifth after finishing strongly.

๐ Oscar Piastri says he will not replace Fernando Alonso at Alpine next season - after the team said he would.
Alpine announced on Tuesday afternoon that the 21-year-old would race "in line with the commitments made by the team to the young Australian."
But Piastri then tweeted that he had "not signed a contract with Alpine for 2023 and will not be driving for them next year".
๐ A remorseful Pat Carrigan insisted he didnโt intend to injure Jackson Hastings after receiving a four-match suspension for a hip drop that left the Wests Tigers lock with a broken ankle and syndesmosis injury in last Sundayโs match.

๐ After a shock home loss at the hands of the Tigers last week, the Brisbane Broncos will aim to respond on the short back up when they travel to face the Sydney Roosters at the SCG on Thursday night.
Corey Oates scored two tries in Brisbane's last four matches as an underdog.
Daniel Tupou scored at least one try in Sydney's last three home matches against Brisbane.

๐ฒ Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo and Harry Maguire have received the most Twitter abuse of any Premier League players, a new report has found.
Ofcom analysis of 2.3 million tweets in the first half of last season found nearly 60,000 abusive posts, affecting seven in 10 top-flight players.
Half of that abuse was directed at just 12 individuals - eight from United.
โฝ๏ธ Chelsea have agreed to sign Aston Villa teenager Carney Chukwuemeka for ยฃ20m.

๐ Britain's seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton has joined the incoming ownership group of three-time Super Bowl winners, the Denver Broncos.
Hamilton has been brought into the group by Walmart boss Rob Walton, who is in the process of completing a reported $4.65bn (ยฃ3.81bn) takeover of the franchise.
With a personal wealth of $61.3bn (ยฃ50bn), Walton is listed by Forbes as the 19th richest person in the world and would become by far the wealthiest NFL owner should his acquisition be approved.
โณ๏ธ Tiger Woods turned down in the region of US$700m to $800m to join the new Saudi-backed LIV Golf Series, says chief executive Greg Norman.
A host of top players have joined the breakaway tour, which Woods said at last month's Open he disagreed with.
"That number was out there before I became CEO," said Norman.
"The PGA Tour has about 27 sponsors, I think, who do 40-plus billion dollars' worth of business on an annual basis in Saudi Arabia.
