The games of the 32nd Olympiad begin today in Toky

The games of the 32nd Olympiad begin today in Tokyo. Did you know that in 1908, Cornwall's rugby union team won their first County Championship, beating Durham County 17 – 3 in the final at Redruth Recreation Ground, attended by 17,000 fans.
Because they had won the County Championship, the Cornish team was chosen to represent Great Britain in the Olympic Games being held in London later that year.

It may or may not be coming home tonight, but 100 years ago, Cornwall's own St Levan Association Football Club brought home the Silver Cup! Footballers' dodgy haircuts were all the rage back then too it seems...

It's Ladies Final Day at Wimbledon today. These two 'faultless' (see what we did there?) looking locals seem ready for centre court too!
