Two of Great Britain's sporting superstars face big decisions about their future. Both have achieved more in their respective sports than they possible ever imagined, but both Chris Froome and Andy Murray are at a career crossroads.


Froome will be out of action for at least six months after a horrific training accident left him in intensive care, whilst Andy Murray is due back on court - playing doubles - after hip resurfacing surgery. Will Froome ever get to wear the Yellow Jersey again? Will Murray dominate Centre Court once more?


The European Games start shortly in Minsk. Team GB is sending a team of over 100 athletes. We explain the significance of the event from an athlete point of view and how it's a huge landmark ahead of the next Olympic Games. And, British boxer Frazer Clarke talks to us about his prospects at the event as he aims to realise his Olympic ambition at last.


World class canoeing returned to Lee Valley this weekend for the canoe slalom World Cup. There was plenty of British success and the event delivered by British Canoeing and UK Sport has been a fantastic success. We also round up action from the Diamond League, Women's World Cup, Hockey, Diving and Rowing. There's an update on Birmingham's progress as they prepare to host the next Commonwealth Games and good news, at last, for Goldie Sayers as she's finally set to receive the Olympic medal she was cheated out of back in 2008.


And, as the UK celebrates Father's Day,John and Michael both reflect on how their own Dad's love of sport was so important in shaping the career path they chose - as sports reporters and commentators.
