- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

Chiara Pellacani and Moritz Wesemann emerged as dominant forces at the European swimming championships in Paris. Pellacani achieved a historic clean sweep by winning five gold medals across five finals. Her final victory came in the three meter synchronized springboard alongside Elisa Pizzini, who earned gold after previously missing a bronze in the individual three meter event. Pellacani was also named the best European diver of 2025. Her achievements include victories in the team event, the mixed three meter synchronized, the one meter springboard, and the three meter springboard.
Moritz Wesemann secured two gold medals, winning both the one meter and three meter springboard events. The 24 year old German diver is noted as the successor to Patrick Hausding, who also won two individual gold medals twelve years ago in Berlin. Wesemann trains in both Berlin and Montreal, where he lives with his girlfriend, Canadian diver Katelyn Fung.
Both athletes are now focusing on the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. Pellacani expressed a desire to reach the level of Chinese divers to redeem fourth place finishes from the 2024 Paris Olympics. Wesemann intends to continue his dual training regimen between Canada and Germany to prepare for the upcoming games.
