Kevin Holland, the American who will take on Brazil's Alex Oliveira in the upcoming Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), has a huge following on social media. And like any other celebrity, he is also a frequent target of trolls. But Holland has found a way to deal with them - he invites trolls to his gym. He told the BBC that a little mixed martial arts (MMA) "can teach them how to be humble".
Russian and Belarusian athletes were on Thursday banned from the Beijing Winter Paralympics over the war in Ukraine, with organisers bowing to international pressure and threats of a boycott. The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) had just a day earlier said athletes from the two countries would be allowed to compete as "neutrals" in the Games, which start on Friday. It said that was the "harshest punishment" the IPC could dish out under its rules. But organisers reversed that decision less than 24 hours later, meaning 83 athletes from Russia and Belarus, which hosted troops for Moscow's attack, will now be packing their bags and heading home.

Russian and Belarusian athletes were given the all-clear Wednesday to compete at the upcoming Winter Paralympics, which open this week under the shadow of Moscow's invasion of Ukraine. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has urged sporting federations across the world to exclude athletes from Russia as well as Belarus, which hosted troops before the invasion. But on Wednesday the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) held a meeting and posted a brief statement saying athletes from the two countries would be allowed to compete as "neutrals".
Germany's Olympic and Paralympic governing bodies expressed dismay Wednesday over the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) decision to allow Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete at the Paralympics, describing it as "a dark page". In a statement Wednesday, the IPC said athletes from the two countries would be allowed to compete in Beijing as "neutrals", despite Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Russian and Belarusian athletes are banned from competing in the Beijing Winter Paralympics, the International Paralympic Committee announced Thursday, citing the war in Ukraine. "In order to preserve the integrity of these Games and the safety of all participants, we have decided to refuse the athlete entries from RPC and NPC Belarus," the IPC said in a statement. The ban was a reversal of a decision the previous day to allow the athletes to compete in the Games, which start on Friday. The statement said multiple Paralympics Committees, teams and athletes had threatened not to compete if the Russian and Belarusian athletes were allowed, "jeapordizing the viability" of the Games.
