Here’s this week’s update on sports around the world.
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down!
The Ashes Series are underway? What exactly is the history behind this Cricket competition? Well it’s only fitting that an international news team fill us in!
The Waterford Ashes Trophy is just a little bit bigger than the original Ashes Urn!

FINA World Championships
The international governing body of swimming, diving, water polo, synchronized swimming and open water swimming wrapped up their World Championships in Kazan, Russia.
228 medals were handed out, in this Olympic qualifier, but it’s not about the medals to Ryan Lochte. Ryan gave away his medal to a fan in the crowd!

This isn’t the first time Ryan has given away a medal…in 2014.
And Lochte gave away a medal in 2012.
