Baseball/softball would be returning to the Games after it was cut after the 2004 Olympics.

Meanwhile, the likes of karate and surfing would be making their debut. Surfing secured its place with the somewhat dubious promise to bring "inherently youthful values and a blend of high performance, style and digital connectivity." Er...

A chaotic start to English management comes to an abrupt end for Marinus Dijkhuizen, who was only appointed as Brentford manager in June. 

During his brief tenure, the Dutch manager has had to deal with matters out of his control, such as problems with the pitch leading to a home game with Birmingham being postponed.

On the pitch, it has been far from a successful spell, with last season's Championship play-off semi-finalists winning just two of their opening eight games. 

In his defence, Dijkhuizen has been unlucky with injuries and has had to deal with the departure of some key players. His undoing may well be that he was indeed too honest in interviews with the media, something that may well have irked owner Matthew Benham. 

Question marks also hovered over whether he had a strong enough relationship and rapport with players who he didn't sign.

More on the news that Scotland lock Grant Gilchrist has been ruled out of the remainder of the tournament.

The Edinburgh player, who has captained his country on three occasions, sustained a groin injury in the first half of the win over the USA on Sunday.

A replacement will be named in due course. Meanwhile, Finn Russell has sustained an "inversion injury to his ankle". No, us neither.

Take a bow Craig Gordon.

Normally when big-time footballers leave a football stadium after a game, they do so wearing massive headphones, heads bowed, refusing to make eye contact with anyone.

Not so the Celtic keeper.

Gordon delighted fans by stopping outside Celtic Park following the goalless draw with Hearts, putting down his kit bag and going in goal while inviting young supporters to take shots at him.

What a guy.

These rugby lads might be big, powerful boys who enjoy spending 80 minutes clattering into each other but it doesn't mean they don't have a soft side

The Daily Mail reports, external that straight after the Ireland game, with thousands still inside the stadium and his team-mates gathered behind him, Surugiu brought girlfriend Alexandria out on to the pitch, got down on one knee and asked her to marry him.

She said yes. Would have been mighty embarrassing for everyone had she not.

Looks like Lee Carsley will be given a proper chance to show he can make a success of the manager's job at Brentford.
