    Fletcher Mitchell: Liking the idea of spreading teamGB around country. That's classier than a big parade & could inspire more people for sure

    Matthew Clemson: After events on the beach, I think the most apt location for a homecoming parade is in the background behind Dan Walker...

    Fifteen-year-old Ren Qian stunned judges with her dominating gold medal win in the 10m platform diving final.

    But her grandfather Xiao Chuanli has now revealed the hard work behind her apparently effortless displays.

    In an interview to Chinanews.com,, external Xiao Chuanli said his granddaughter began training as a gymnast at the age of three, before moving on to diving, and did not take a single holiday while training for her provincial team.

    “The last time I saw her was during the National Olympic selection in Guangxi province. I wanted to take her out," he said. "But she only had time to give me the medal she won and return to Beijing for training immediately.”

    Xiao hasn’t called his granddaughter since the beginning of Rio Olympics because he doesn’t want to bother her.

    “She hasn't been home for three years. I hope I can see her at home after the Olympics."

    It's not too much of a stretch to describe Usain Bolt as his sport's saviour. 

    His remarkable feats can, briefly, bring the world to a halt, while he possesses a magnetic appeal that transcends track and field and crosses generations.

    But why? Why does the world love him so much?

    Former Soviet Olympic wrestling champion Mikhail Mamiashvili, who currently heads the Russian Wrestling Federation, has launched harsh criticism against two female wrestlers after they failed to take gold at the 2016 Rio Games.

    Russian wrestlers Natalya Vorobyova and Valeria Koblova both won silver medals in the 69kg and 58kg weight classes respectively.

    "Both showed themselves to be weak-willed; they should not have fought that way for the country, for the flag," Mamiashvili told Russian TV channel 360., external "Their competitors were really serious, but our girls were supposed to win. To gift their opponents the gold medals in 10 seconds is the preserve of losers."

    Vorobyova told Russian sports paper Sport-Express that she found Mamiashvili's remarks "offensive".

    So the mayor of London says he wants a victory parade to be held in the city to celebrate the achievements of Team GB's Olympians and Paralympians.

    BUT...

    Who said it had to be in London? After all, shouldn't the capitals of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland get a look in?

    Perhaps the town where the most British Olympians were born? 

    Maybe the county where the most British medallists have trained in?   

    Has one particular athlete stood out for you who you think deserves a home town parade?

    Athletes at the Olympic Games in Rio have elected banned Russian pole vaulter Yelena Isinbayeva to represent them at the International Olympic Committee.

    The 2012 Olympic champion is among the Russian track and field athletes stopped from competing at the Games because of their country’s state-sponsored doping programme.

    But Olympians selected her - and three others – to be their voice on the IOC’s athletes’ commission.

    More than 5,000 athletes from 23 countries voted in the elections, which take place at each Olympic Games.

    Of those, more than 1,300 cast their vote for Isinbayeva.

    The 34-year-old has been an outspoken critic of the decision to ban the Russian athletics team from the Rio Games.

    Excellent work, as ever, by satirical website the Daily Mash, external on Great Britain's prospects of beating China to second place on the Olympic medal table.

    "As Britain continues to beat China at sport, the communist state responded with some typically laid-back banter about remembering one’s friends if there is ever a massive war over the planet’s increasingly scarce resources," they report.

    "A China spokesperson said: 'There’s no way this might affect things when we’re drawing up a list of allies in a possible World War III, which incidentally we would probably win.

    “'Or maybe it will because we are humiliated and angry! Ha ha ha good joke, not really.

    “'Anyway I understand you guys are very popular in mainland Europe so they would definitely protect you.'"
