Anna Morris has admitted she was in shock after becoming Wales’ latest cycling world champion. Morris, from Cardiff, followed in the bike tracks of Emma Finucane as she rode her way to a first world title in the women’s individual pursuit, knocking out cycling legend Chloe Dygert on the way, on the penultimate day of the 2024 UCI Tissot Track World Championships. It means Wales now has two individual world champions and three members of a world champion team after the penultimate day of the Championships in Denmark.

Luke Williams reckons he has identified Swansea City’s problem – his players are too afraid to score goals. The Swans head coach came to that conclusion after watching his team fail to win for the fourth successive match as they lost 1-0 at Blackburn Rovers. As in their previous three matches during their winless streak, his team created chances but failed to take any of them.

Cardiff City interim manager Omer Riza remained coy on his prospects for the permanent job at the club after his side comfortably beat 10-man Plymouth 5-0 in the Welsh capital. Cardiff’s victory was their first win by five goals in the league in seven-and-a-half years, since their victory against Rotherham in February 2017. “I’m just trying to do the best job I can,” said Riza.

Callum Sheedy will captain Cardiff for the first time when he leads the team out at the Hive Stadium against Edinburgh on Saturday. “It’s a very proud moment for myself and my family,” said the fly-half, who came on board from Bristol over the summer.

The highest profile manager in the Championship goes head-to-head against the league’s biggest nobody in Cardiff on Saturday. Omer Riza – Cardiff City’s interim boss, who might struggle to be identified by any base other than Bluebirds fans – is up against Plymouth Argyle.

We’ve all heard about the matches that are watched by one man and his dog, but what about the sport that is played by them? One man and his dog will be bidding for Welsh glory this weekend when Ron Mason and Agnes try to become world champions in Italy.

Emma Finucane has revealed she is even more proud of retaining her sprint world title than she was in winning it for the first time a year ago. The Welsh cycling superstar retained her women’s individual sprint title for her second gold medal of the UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Denmark on Friday night.

Exeter Chiefs have been such a reliable conveyor belt for Welsh talent in recent years, it hardly seemed necessary to check it was still powered up. But this season, someone appears to have unplugged things down at Sandy Park.

Meg Barker claimed it felt “easy” after she struck gold as Great Britain successfully defended the women’s team pursuit title at the Cycling World Championships in Denmark. The Welsh rider - who joined the line-up for the final in place of Jess Roberts - was alongside Josie Knight, Anna Morris and Katie Archibald as Team GB stormed to a victory in Ballerup, reeling in Germany to secure another title.

Wales manager Rhian Wilkinson is confident Chelsea midfielder Sophie Ingle will be fit for next summer’s European Championship should they qualify. Former Wales captain Ingle underwent surgery last month after sustaining anterior cruciate ligament damage during a pre-season friendly, an injury Wilkinson described as “horrible”.
