nile wilson, Nicola Adams and Katy Marchant were stars last night as Leeds enjoyed yet more success in the Olympics.

Watching competitor after competitor challenge the world’s best - and match them - was fantastic.

Nile Wilson’s success on the high bars especially was as fabulous as it was historic.

Leeds is getting used to being in the sporting spotlight for all the right reasons and it gives a fantastic feelgood feeling to all of us, even people who wouldn’t normally know a high bar from a low bar.

And it’s not over yet. You wouldn’t bet against Leeds enjoying yet more glory in Rio.
