Solutions

1:C - Her older sister Cindy has also won a world title., 2:C - They play each other in France on Saturday., 3:A - Liverpool spent £5.1m on Marko Grujic and signed Steven Caulker on loan. Neither started a league game for the club, however Klopp’s subsequent signings have been more effective., 4:B - Porto won the Europa League in 2003 and the Champions League in 2004 while being managed by José Mourinho. Liverpool – who are playing Villarreal in the semi-finals – did something similar in 1977, when they won the European Cup as Uefa Cup holders., 5:D - Prades thought he had won but another cyclist had already finished, nearly two minutes earlier. “I thought there was no one left in front, that’s why I raised my arms,” he said after he had picked himself up and dusted himself off. , 6:B - The Canadian player Cliff Thorburn hit the first 147 at the World Championship in 1983. Stephen Hendry and Ronnie O’Sullivan, who have three maximums each, are the only players who have hit multiple 147s at the Crucible., 7:D - Robertson lost the match to Jack Lisowski, but the £40,000 prize for hitting a 147 and an extra £15,000 for the highest break of the tournament will give him some consolation., 8:C - Mark Williams (47), Ronnie O’Sullivan (46), John Higgins (46) and Judd Trump (32) are into the last four this year. Three of them – Williams, O’Sullivan and Higgins – reached the semi-finals in 1999. , 9:D - St Étienne had won the title six times before PSG existed. , 10:B - The 46-year-old South African took up running as an adult after losing a leg to a rare form of cancer. "I was the kid at school who used to hide in the bathroom when we had track workouts as I didn’t like running," she says. "The first time I ran it gave me a sense of freedom – something I didn’t think possible. Running helped me to accept my body and accept who I was. When I became an amputee, I was told to ‘just take life easy’. Now, I think my body does incredible things."
