 Belgium's Olympic committee announced Sunday that it would withdraw its team from the mixed relay triathlon at the Paris Olympics after one of its competitors who swam in the Seine River fell ill.Claire Michel, who competed in the women's triathlon Wednesday, “is unfortunately ill and will have to withdraw from the competition,” the Belgian Olympic and Interfederal Committee said in a statement. The mixed relay triathlon is scheduled to take place Monday, with the swim portion of the competition slated for the Seine as well.

Great Britain’s Harry Charles is out of Tuesday’s jumping individual final at Chateau de Versailles after his horse Romeo 88 suffered a “small overreach” on Monday.Charles, who won jumping team gold with team-mates Ben Maher and Scott Brash on day seven of the Games, had been due to compete in the individual final, along with Maher on Dallas Vegas Batilly and Brash on Jefferson.But Charles posted on his Instagram on Tuesday morning: “Unfortunately me and Romeo will not start the individual final today in Paris. After a small overreach yesterday he is not quite the 110 per cent that he has been the whole Games.“Maybe I am a little disappointed but, honestly, not really. He has given me so much and took me beyond my dreams. We’re leaving Paris with a gold medal and, more importantly, a happy Romeo so that’s way more than enough for me.“Team GB have a great shot at the medals with two of the best today in Scott and Ben so we will be on the sidelines cheering them on.“Thank you to everyone for all the support you have given me and Romeo throughout the Games and making it an experience of a lifetime.”

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Yet Thompson is the fastest man this year for a reason. He is a 100m specialist with power and a long stride, and he emerged from his drive phase at 30m with the...
