Jessica Ennis-Hill will make her return from injury this weekend while Adam Peaty's two gold medals help Great Britain to the top of the medal table at the European Aquatics Championships in London. Here's our review of the last 24 hours.
Jessica Ennis-Hill will kick-start her preparations for Rio 2016 when she returns from injury to compete at the Loughborough International Athletics match on Sunday.
The heptathlete missed the entire indoor season due to an Achilles injury but with the Olympic Games now less than three months away, she will take part in the javelin this weekend.
However, the 30-year-old – who won gold at London 2012 as part of Team GB’s memorable ‘Super Saturday’ – is not yet ready for a full heptathlon and will miss an event in Gotzis, Austria on May 28.
Great Britain enjoyed a dream night on the second day of swimming action at the European Aquatics Championships in London with two golds to move to the top of the medal table.
Adam Peaty was the star of the show with victory in the 100m breaststroke, followed by more success in the 4x100m mixed medley relay.
In all Britain managed five medals, with Ross Murdoch making it a one-two in the breaststroke, while Ben Proud and Fran Halsall both claimed bronze in the 50m butterfly.
And while Peaty, who raced home in 58.36 seconds admitted he wasn’t not in peak shape, he couldn't have asked for more at this stage of his preparation for Rio.
"I did the process and came out with a 58.3 and that puts me within the top four times in the world going into Rio, so I'm in a good place,” Peaty told British Swimming.
"I haven't rested for this but my stroke just feels like it’s in a really great place. It feels strong and I'm feeling even better within myself.”

Hurdler Tiffany Porter is aiming to step up her preparations for this summer's Olympic Games in Rio by successfully defending her Co-operative Bank Great CityGames Manchester title on Friday.
A World, European and Commonwealth medallist, Porter has her eyes on completing the full set in Rio in August.
Before then however there are plenty of races to be run, including this week's 100m hurdles event in Manchester.
The 28-year-old has dominated proceedings over the last two years, having won in Manchester and sister event NewcastleGateshead in 2014 and 2015, and finds herself up against familiar rivals in fellow Brits Lucy Hatton and Serita Solomon this time around.
"I can't wait to come back to Manchester for the CityGames and defend my title," said Porter, who won 60m hurdles bronze at the World Indoor Championships in Portland in March.
"I love street meets because the crowd are right next to you and it gives you that extra edge, and with it taking place on an evening for the first time that's something completely new.
"It's all about the Olympics this year so performing well on the track in Manchester would be great in the run-up to the summer."
Davis Cup hero James Ward failed to reach the main draw of the French Open after suffering an opening-round qualifying defeat at Roland Garros.
The British No.5 lost 6-4, 6-3 to Matteo Donati of Italy – a man ranked 99 places below him in the world at 270.
Ward picked up a number of crucial points during last year’s historic David Cup campaign that saw Great Britain lift the trophy for the first time since 1936 but will now turn his attention to the grass-court season, where he has been awarded a wildcard for the Aegon Championships at Queen’s Club next month.
