Perhaps the most staggering moment I have seen in sport. In the space of a single summer, Emma Raducanu goes from unassuming A-level student to undisputed queen of New York. Wins US Open without losing a set, without even facing a tie-break.
Other British people who had foreign born parents include:
Wilfred Johnson
Winston Churchill
Prince Charles
Queen Victoria
Dan Hannan
and ...er...
Lionel Shriver who emigrated here from the USA.

U-turn confirmed. @Ofqual has decided to 'award grades on the basis of what teachers submitted. The switch to centre assessment grades will apply to both AS and A levels and to the GCSE results which students will receive later this week' https://t.co/gAXFHeEOFt
As a matter of logic, the A level and looming GCSE mess is either the fault of the Secretary of State or of the PM and his chief adviser. So who will take responsibility? @GavinWilliamson or @BorisJohnson and D Cummings? It is not as though this was a complex unforseeable problem

Leweston School 51% (37%)
Hats off to @WorcCollegeOx for placing all the students to whom they offered places this year - irrespective of their scores in the government's A level debacle. THIS is how you do it guys. Come on everyone, please follow suit 👏👏👏
The leader of the UK's Labour party, Keir Starmer, has called on ministers to perform a major “Scottish government-style U-turn” over A-levels https://t.co/Meujv28jLV
