Carsington Water triathlon cancelled due to water levels
A triathlon set to take place at a reservoir in Derbyshire has been cancelled due to the water levels being lower than normal following "prolonged hot weather".The event on 13 July would have seen participants swim, cycle and run a course at Carsington Water, near Severn Trent and Pacesetter Events have called it off, claiming the water levels are "dropping quickly", leaving thick mud and weeds along the Marshall, visitor engagement manager at Severn Trent, said: "We are disappointed to have to make this decision, but the safety and experience of participants is paramount." According to the latest data from Severn Trent, Carsington Water is 80.8% full, compared to 96.4% at this time last year. 'An exceptional year' Pacesetter, which said cancelling the triathlon was the "right thing to do for athlete safety and experience", claimed the region had just 39% of its usual rainfall between March and added: "Looking at the current water levels and predicting what this might be like by the event day we feel like the event would be unpleasant at best and potentially dangerous at worst, therefore this extremely difficult decision has had to be made."Over the past 30 years the triathlon and swim event would have been able to run at this time of year as water levels have been typically good, unfortunately this year is an exceptional year and levels are dropping quickly."Pacesetter said anyone signed up to take part in the triathlon would be able to get a full refund, defer entry for next year's event or choose credit against a new event Marshall said watersports and sailing activities would still be able to run at the site as normal and reminded visitors they should only swim in "reservoirs as part of a properly organised and safely held event".She added: "We fully intend to host events again next year when we hope for more favourable conditions."At the end of May, England's reservoirs were at their lowest combined levels for the time of year in records going back more than 30 levels in the North East and North West were exceptionally low - an important factor for drought being declared in Yorkshire and the North also rained less than normal across almost all of the UK between March and May, the UK's sixth driest spring since records began in 1836.

Paralympic rower Lauren Rowles thought she would never be loved
A Paralympic rower said there was a time in her life when she thought being queer and with a disability meant she would never be Rowles, the first woman to win a rowing gold at three Paralympic games, also talked about how she struggled to focus at school due to undiagnosed ADHD, but sport gave her a chance to feel like "I was the best".The 27-year-old from Bromsgrove told the BBC's LGBT Sport Podcast it could seem like she was "on a mad one" while growing up, due to her undiagnosed condition, and her mother was often called into school."But when I got out on the football pitch, I ran, it didn't matter where you placed me, whatever sport it was, I just felt like I was like the best," she said. Rowles also discussed how she suddenly developed transverse myelitis at the age of 13, waking up one morning to find herself paralysed from the waist myelitis is a rare neurological condition caused by inflammation of the spinal cord, according to the NHS. She was initially "ashamed" to be in a wheelchair, she said, especially as she was at the start of adolescence and already feeling a turning point came when her mother convinced her reluctant daughter to take a trip to the 2012 Paralympics in London."[It was] one of the best decisions she ever made in my life," Rowles said, adding "that day changed my life." Rowles came out as queer around the time of the Covid pandemic, she said in the podcast, which launched last month and is hosted by former boxer Nicola is engaged to Paralympic basketball player Jude Hamer, who gave birth to their son Noah in 2024."There was a time in my life where I thought: 'I'm never gonna be loved'," she said, explaining that she felt daunted about navigating life as someone who was queer and also had a yet five years after coming out, she is engaged to a woman and in a loving relationship, and she has also become a mother, she said."I'm so blessed that I have that now," she added.

Howden disability basketball team appeal for more players
A basketball team for adults with disabilities is appealing for more members so it can compete in tournaments. Howden Warhorses Friends was set up in East Yorkshire in July 2024 and currently has eight members aged between 26 and 56 years old with disabilities including Down's Syndrome and brain injuries. Katherine Dawson set up the group after her sister Helen, who has Down's Syndrome, was lonely and was not getting much physical exercise. She said: "We just realised that sport has such a value in helping people connect and feel part of a team." The 46-year-old, who is one of a small group of volunteers, said: "She was so lonely before and she found it really difficult. Just having this has been really good, just to see her have friends."She's got so much to give. I think sport allows her to do that in a way that meeting socially, in a pub setting, is just not something she finds easy to do. But get her on a court and she comes alive."The group supports people with disabilities play basketball and gives them opportunities to make friends, have fun and get more physically said she loved playing basketball, especially as "it's a chance to meet my friends every week"."I'm more energetic and better for it," she said. "I'd love to compete. It would mean everything to me." John Smithson was involved in a road accident in 2013 and said he had broken his neck in three places, as well as his left femur and ribs. He said he had been unable to walk since the accident and he needed to use a wheelchair. Mr Smithson, 32, has been a member of Howden Warhorses Friends for four months. "I come here to exercise and to meet new people and also to get out of my house," he said. "I love it. I didn't think being in a wheelchair would make it easy for me to play basketball but with the adjustable nets it makes it a perfect height for me to play." The group is free to join and sessions run every Sunday morning at Read School in Drax. Participants learn skills including passing, blocking, shooting and then play a game. Ms Dawson said she hoped the club would grow to 15 players to allow it to enter competitive tournaments. "We'd love to grow it," she said. "Basketball is a sport that I think can easily be adapted. It's a team sport and I think it hopefully reduces people's sense of loneliness and isolation as a result."
