Just 25 days remain until this summer’s Olympic Games in Rio, but there is still plenty keeping our Team GB athletes busy.
Whether that is attempting to qualify or fine-tuning preparations for those already selected, no-one is resting on their laurels.
Each Monday we will look back at what our athletes have been getting up to during the last week and who to keep an eye on over the coming seven days.
Three years after first etching his name in Wimbledon history, Andy Murray was crowned champion once again at SW19, seeing off Canadian Milos Raonic in straight sets to win his third major Grand Slam title.
Murray choked back the tears as he secured a 6-4, 7-6, 7-6 victory over Raonic, a player of undoubted talent whose time will surely come.
The Scot’s attentions will now turn to the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, where he will be looking to defend his crown from London 2012, as well as potentially bagging another medal alongside brother Jamie in the men’s doubles.

It was a stellar week for Team GB’s cyclists riding in the Tour de France as the Brits finished the ninth day of racing having won five of the stages.
On Thursday, Mark Cavendish, who will race for his first Olympic medal next month, took sole possession of second place on the all-time Tour de France stage wins list, picking up his third of this year’s Tour to retain the green jersey.
Meanwhile, Steve Cummings won his second-ever stage on Friday after an impressive solo ride on the final climb saw him triumph by more than a minute, while defending champion Chris Froome raced away from the pack on a tricky descent to win stage eight.

On Sunday, Great Britain won seven medals at the European Athletics Championships to cap off a phenomenal campaign in Amsterdam.
The men’s 4x100m team stormed to victory as the women’s equivalent picked up silver, and the 4x400m relay team were also crowned European champions.
Earlier in the week, Martyn Rooney successfully defended his 400m title, the day after Greg Rutherford and Dina Asher-Smith both finished top of the podium in the long jump and 200m respectively.

On Sunday, GB Sevens head coach Simon Amor was left with an almighty selection headache after both the GB Lions and Royals won silverware at Exeter 7s at Sandy Park.
GB Royals won the Cup after coming from 12-0 down to beat reigning champions France 33-17 in the final, while GB Lions claimed the Plate courtesy of a 31-19 win over Germany.
Next week, Amor will announce the 12 players he will be taking to Rio as rugby makes its first appearance at the Games since 1924.

The Tour de France continues this week and with five British victories already in the bag, the likes of Chris Froome and Mark Cavendish will be keen to continue their winning streaks.
This week’s terrain will inevitably suit Froome more than the Manx Missile, with less sprint stages on offer for Cavendish to control.
Watch out for stages 12, 13 and 15 later in the week – the heavy climbs and individual time-trial are classic Froome territory, and this could be the week we see Froome truly mount his title defence.
Fresh from their success at the European Championships in Amsterdam, Britain’s athletes are bound for France as the Monaco Diamond League gets underway on Friday.
Robbie Grabarz, Chris Baker, Charlie Grice and Eilidh Doyle will all be searching for their second medal of the week, while Mo Farah and Lynsey Sharp are also set to make an appearance in the men’s 1500m and women’s 800m respectively.
The Davis Cup makes its return this week as Great Britain’s quarter-final against Serbia gets underway on the clay of Belgrade on Friday.
While Andy Murray’s participation remains unconfirmed after his Wimbledon success on Sunday, he will still travel with the team to Serbia as they continue their quest to retain the title.
Last year’s victory was the first time Great Britain had been crowned Davis Cup champions since 1936.
