MAX WHITLOCK
Six-time Olympic medallist Max Whitlock is retiring from professional gymnastics following the Paris 2024 Games this summer.
Britain’s most successful gymnast, 31, with three Olympic golds to his name, said it was the right time to step down and he is “excited and motivated” to be trying for his fourth and final games.
“I feel extremely fortunate to have found such a huge passion and something I have loved for so long,” he added.
“Post-Tokyo Olympics, I almost allowed fear of failure to dictate my path and stop gymnastics altogether. This final chapter of my competing career has me excited for the opportunity to try and create further history.”
RUMI CARTER
Rumi Carter, the six-year-old daughter of Beyoncé (left) and Jay Z, has broken the record for the youngest female artist in history to make the Billboard Hot 100 Chart after appearing on her mother’s new album, the country-inspired Cowboy Carter.
Rumi, who has a twin brother Sir, features on the track Protector, which has been released as a single and entered the chart at No. 42.
She is featured at the start of the song, a tender acoustic ballad, saying: “Mom, can I hear the lullaby please?”
The record was previously held by her 12-year-old sister Blue Ivy, who appeared on the 2019 song Brown Skin Girl when she was seven years old. It reached No. 76 on the chart.
