Olympics: Top refugee athletes with no home country to represent will be allowed to compete at the 2016 Rio Games, International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach said at the United Nations General Assembly. A resolution, which was supported by 180 out of the 193 UN member states, calls for the Olympic Truce to be respected from seven days before the start of the Aug. 5-21 Olympic Games until seven days after the Sept. 7-18 Paralympic Games. “The Olympic Games are the time when the values of tolerance, solidarity and peace are brought to life,” Bach said in a statement. “This is the time when the international community comes together for peaceful competition.”

Cricket: Former Australia spinner Shane Warne and India batting great Sachin Tendulkar have joined the chorus clamouring for cricket to become an Olympic sport, the BBC reported. The International Cricket Council (ICC) is scheduled to meet the International Olympic Committee (IOC) next month to discuss a possible bid, with the Twenty20 format of the game most likely to be discussed.

Rugby Union: Australia number eight David Pocock has invited David Attenborough to Saturday’s World Cup final against New Zealand at Twickenham.

England 2015’s standout performer is a climate change activist and during this World Cup he has used his Twitter account to highlight the plight of rhinos in Africa. Pocock said: “I’m a big fan of wildlife, particularly those by David Attenborough. He’s a big hero of mine.”
