1) Let’s have some speedway memories: Peter Collins v Egon Muller in 1984; Bruce Penhall in 1981 action; world championship action from Wembley in 1967 … and then in 1981 … and back in 1933. Inside at Wembley Arena in 1982, to White City in 1977 a trip to speedway school in 1949 and Swindon that same year. Oh, and here’s some cycle speedway from 1955.
2) Absolute savagery from Aleksandr Mostovoi for Spartak Moscow v Metallist in 1990, which leads us to this review of his time at Celta Vigo.
3) The week in European football – a goalkeeping glitch from Germany, and two magnifique finishes in France:
4) A few hot shots from the tennis: Lucas Pouille takes a swing at it, Malek Jaziri makes Grigor Dimitrov look daft, Gaël Monfils’ no-look half volley, Elise Mertens going cross-court and razor-sharp reflexes from Daria Kasatkina.
5) It’s been snowing, which is always an excuse to dig out Glentoran v Linfield from Boxing Day 1995, when there was no orange ball available, the unusual pitch-sweeping for Gangwon v Incheon in 2012, when Chelsea came a cropper against Tromso in 1997, and this old chestnut.
6) No fans turn up, high school basketball announcer does not care.
1) Anthony McGill riding his luck … and the snooker table.
2) Crash! Bang! Wallop! It’s bobsleigh’s worst starts.
3) Domestic New Zealand cricket action as bowler Andrew Ellis takes one on the head and it still goes for six.
4) Stefan Kraft: they’re going to need a bigger hill.
