Justice.
"I've devastated," ex-GB fighter turned Moldovan Olympian Aaron Cook after his shock opening round defeat in Rio.
"I made the switch from GB after the devastation of missing London 2012 and not feeling I had a way back. Moldova gave me a chance and had such high hopes.
"Why did I have a day like that at the Olympics!?" says a forlorn-looking Cook.
"I wanted to put on a show for those who have supported me and win that gold medal, but I just feel I've let everyone down."
I detest sports tourism when it comes to representing a country. I truly believe that once you are over 16, you should not be able to move country and live for a while to change nationality. Fair enough if you have parents or grandparents from the country or moved to the country at an early age. Sportsmen like Pietersen for example get my goat. Makes a mockery if you can just get a billionaire to fund your citizenship of a country you have no connection to like Cook.

Paralympics in big trouble.
IPC announces "major budget cuts" to Rio Paralympics amid funding crisis, including closure of Deodoro Park [2nd largest complex].
IPC President Sir Philip Craven: "Never before in the 56 year history of the Games have we faced circumstances like this".

Not quite! Maddie plays for latter day arch rivals Holcombe, not East Grinstead, but is about to join a top Dutch side.She was, though, born in West Chiltington so has a big Sussex connection. She is also one smashing woman giving lots of her time back to her sport.
It is being paid for, Im sure the people of Brazil are delighted about it.

Competing at 7 Olympics for GB, he deserves that too. A 'bonus' gold medal, I hope the girls in the hockey can follow it.
