Canoe Sprint
"I started growing it in January after I saw the NBA basketball player Steven Adams. Then I won selection for the Olympic Games with the moustache so I thought it was a lucky charm and a good sign for me, so I should keep it."
Facial hair appears to be helping Italian Canoe slalom competitor Giovanni de Gennaro in his quest for glory.

It was a truly horrible fracture. So bad we decided we couldn't show you pictures.
The reaction of his team-mates should tell you all you need to know.
Image source, ReutersThe really good news? Speaking in this Facebook video posted from his hospital bed, the big man's in strong spirits. Bit of French practice for you, d'accord?

Russia banned from Paralympic Games
The Russian media have been reacting to news of the country's ban from competing at the Rio 2016 Paralympics.
The ruling was made because of the findings of the McLaren report, which detailed a state-sponsored doping programme operated by Russia.
This from our Moscow correspondent:

Chris Boardman
Olympic cycling champion on BBC TVI am past commenting - I am angry about it.
I went down and had a look at the course and saw those edges. We knew it was way past being technical; it was dangerous. The people who designed the course and said what safety features were needed had seen it as well and left it.
We knew the descent was treacherous. I looked at that road furniture and thought, nobody can crash here and just get up. It is really bad and that is what we have seen.

Women's road race
There was more chaos on the tarmac following the swathes of mechanicals, slips and dangerous slides that defined the men's event.
Dutch rider Annemiek van Vleuten went to hospital with severe concussion and three small fractures in her lower back after crashing as she led the race.
Dutch cycling officials later said she would spend the next 24 hours in intensive care and the rider tweeted she would "be fine".
Team-mate Anna van der Breggen eventually won gold, ahead of Sweden's Emma Johansson and Italy's Elisa Longo Borghini.
On BBC TV, former Olympic individual pursuit champion Chris Boardman was furious with race organisers.

Image source, Getty ImagesBritain's Lizzie Armitstead had a controversial build-up to the women's road race and missed out on a medal as she finished fifth.
The world champion and London 2012 silver medallist faced being banned for the Games after missing three drugs tests but won an appeal and was cleared to compete.
"It (the race) was brutal. Completely brutal - nothing like we have in women's or men's cycling on one day races," she said.
"It wasn't my ideal course but I gave the best I could.
"I felt a little bit like a zombie going into it - not much sleep in the past few weeks - but when I'm on my bike I'm doing what I know and what I am in control of and my brain soon switches once I have got a number on.
"There are no excuses. I simply wasn't able to climb fast enough."
