At the European Athletics Championships, Irish heptathlete Kate O’Connor has moved into the lead with 5,812 points. She is currently followed by Dutch athletes Emma Oosterwegel (5,761 points) and Sofie Dokter (5,741 points), with Switzerland’s Annik Kalin and Germany’s Sophie Weißenberg rounding out the top five standings as the competition progresses into its sixth day.

In a separate development, British Athletics is dealing with the unexplained disappearance of coach Leon Baptiste. Baptiste, 41, who has worked with elite athletes including Olympic medalist Charlie Dobson, has not been heard from for approximately two months. Reports indicate he traveled to Morocco for a trip with friends, but he has failed to make contact since that time. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain unclear, and there is currently no information regarding his whereabouts or the status of any search efforts.
