The Olympics is in full swing and apart from the starts there’s been some truly humbling storylines that will last longer in the memory, including Frenchman Samir Aït Saïd, North and South Korean gymnasts posing for selfies and Syrian refugee Yusra Mardini’s success in the pool.

Divers David Boudia and Tom Daley were left feeling green… and not with envy, while USA’s basketball stars get closer than most in measuring up to Rio’s iconic Christ the Redeemer statue.

Whether you’re big or small, there’s room for everyone at the Olympics.

Irish boxer Paddy Barnes has been poking fun at golfer Rory McIlroy ever since he touched down in Rio for the Olym-pics, which McIlroy has snubbed citing the Zika virus.

You’d think taking a picture with his ex-fiancee Caroline Wozniacki would set him off but McIlroy decided it was all part of the Irish craic.
