Why Piotr Malachowski donated his Olympic silver to a boy with a rare form of cancer.

Piotr Malachowski won silver in the discus at the Rio Olympics just a couple of weeks ago however he has since auctioned off his medal to raise funds for Olek, a three-year-old boy suffering with a rare form of cancer.

Colink Kaepernick: The Eye Of A Media Storm
When San Francisco 49ers’ quarterback Colin Kaepernick decided not to stand during the national anthem it brought back into the spotlight the role sport stars have in highlighting social issues. Much of the media coverage painted Kaepernick as disrespectful, but did an industry dominated by white men affect the telling of Kaperneck’s story? We hear from Marc Spears, the Chairman of the National Association of Black Journalists Sports Task Force.

Monster Trucks:
We go behind the scenes of Monster Jam, the popular motor sporting event. The competition sees the massive trucks fly through the air, crush smaller cars and spin fast in circles. It can be dangerous for the drivers as the trucks are built 'to crash'.

Brazil Football Expects… Again
We explore the blind football competition at the Paralympics including how the game is played. We also hear from two of the Brazilian team who will hope to continue their record of winning gold at every Paralympics the sport has been played at..Well they are Brazilian!
