The men's marathon world record holder, Kenya's Kelvin Kiptum, 24, has died in a road accident in his home country. He was killed alongside his coach, Rwanda's Gervais Hakizimana, in a car on a road in western Kenya on Sunday.

South Africa's former Paralympic champion Oscar Pistorius - who was jailed for murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp - will be barred from drinking alcohol or giving media interviews when he is released on parole on Friday, the prison department has said.

Former Paralympic champion Oscar Pistorius is to be freed from jail on parole, nearly 11 years after murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. He shot her multiple times through a bathroom door on Valentine's Day in 2013, later claiming he mistook her for a burglar at their Pretoria home.

Two-time Olympic champion Caster Semenya says she is "not going to be ashamed" of being "different", and will "fight for what is right" amid her ongoing dispute with athletics authorities.

South African Paralympic champion Oscar Pistorius is expected to attend a parole hearing on Friday that could see him released from prison early, a decade after he killed his girlfriend. A parole board is scheduled to convene at 10:00 am (0800 GMT) at the correctional facility where the now 36-year-old is being held on the outskirts of Pretoria.
