The two-time Olympic 1500m champion, 57, spearheaded the London Olympics from bidding through to staging.

"I think they've been sensational on pretty much every level," he says. "Organisationally [it has been] executed flawlessly and the city has absorbed the experience."

England name an unchanged 13-man squad for the fourth Test against India, though they could yet be without seamer James Anderson if he is suspended by the International Cricket Council.

Anderson, who was man of the match in England's third Test victory at the Ageas Bowl this week, faces a hearing on Friday to answer level three misconduct charges laid by the tourists.

The Football Association has marked five years since Sir Bobby Robson died with a National Football Day and a grassroots event next to Ipswich's Portman Road.

The former England, Ipswich and Newcastle United manager died on 31 July 2009, aged 76, after his fifth battle against cancer.

The FA made a donation to the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation - the charity he established during the last 18 months of his life to fight cancer - with general secretary Alex Horne and former Ipswich chairman David Sheepshanks in attendance.

Lady Elsie Robson, Sir Bobby's widow, says: "I'm always touched by how fondly people remember Bob and by the wonderful support his charity receives. He was so passionate about his Foundation and we're very grateful to the FA for the way they've always supported our work."

BBC Sport's Jamie Lillywhite at Glorious Goodwood: "The Queen's horse Estimate, who of course tested positive for morphine thought to have been in some contaminated feed last month, fails to finish in the top three in the coveted Goodwood Cup, won by Godolphin's Cavalryman, ridden by Kieren Fallon at 5-1.

"Goodwood guru Richard Hughes, who had four second place finishes over the first two days, had his first winner in the previous race but to the detriment of my wallet he was unable to repeat that, finishing one from last on Forgotten Voice. The horse won Best Turned Out but that carries no weight with the bookmakers unfortunately."

World number two Li Na of China will miss next month's US Open because of a knee injury.

The 32-year-old, who won the Australian Open earlier this year, is focused on a return to the court on home soil in late September.

Roberto Mancini admits he would "come running" if the former Manchester City boss was offered the chance to coach Italy's national team.

Mancini left Galatasaray in June and is believed to be in contention to replace Cesare Prandelli, who stepped down after Italy's surprise first-round exit from the World Cup.

"I've always been patriotic. I never forget about Italy even when I've been working abroad," Mancini tells Il Giorno. "Who doesn't dream about coaching their national team? I'd come running. The reality, however, is that for now, no one has called me."

Former Manchester United left-back Patrice Evra says he is looking forward to being reunited with former team-mate Carlos Tevez at Juventus.

Evra, 33, joined the Italian champions earlier this month and previously played alongside Tevez at United.

"Carlos is a warrior," Evra says. "It was tough for me to see him leave United for another team. We're great friends on and off the pitch."

Steve Bruce will take charge of his 100th game for Hull City when the Tigers make their Europa League debut against AS Trencin in Slovakia.

He tells the club website: "It's gone as well as anyone could have hoped it would go. To be promoted, stay up and have the ability to buy people like Jake Livermore, Tom Huddlestone, Nikica Jelavic, the list goes on. I didn't think that would be possible two years ago.

"To get into a FA Cup final and into Europe, it's been a wonderful couple of years. Long may it continue."

St Johnstone assistant manager Callum Davidson would like a first leg lead from their Europa League first leg with Spartak Trnava of Slovakia.

"They [Spartak] will probably be a little bit more direct and will keep their shape," he says. "A win in the first leg is not imperative but it would be nice."

Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes says his team are confident they can produce a positive result in the Europa League against Real Sociedad in San Sebastian on Thursday.

The Dons trained in the Anoeta stadium with only Clark Robertson missing.

"We want to do as best we can," McInnes says. "We feel we as a team are in a good place just now and take the confidence from the start we have had to our season."

Daniel Ricciardo will not rule himself out of the chance to win this season's Formula 1 world title until it is mathematically impossible.

The Mercedes duo of Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton occupy first and second in the drivers' championship respectively, with Red Bull's Ricciardo third, 71 points off the top.

"Realistically we're still a long way off," he says. "But Seb (team-mate Vettel) is right in saying until it's mathematically over it isn't."

Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew remains interested in France striker Loic Remy, after a move to Liverpool from Queens Park Rangers collapsed.

Remy, 27, scored 14 goals on loan with the Magpies last term, prompting a bid from Liverpool this summer. However, the transfer fell through, leaving the ex-Marseille forward to return to QPR for pre-season.

"It's a straightforward deal if Loic and QPR decide to do business with us," Pardew tells BBC Newcastle.

West Ham midfielder Ravel Morrison is remanded in custody at Manchester Magistrates' Court until 7 August after being charged with two counts of common assault against two women.

Former England goalkeeper Peter Shilton tells BBC Radio Suffolk that Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney is the 'logical' choice to be the national team captain.

The skipper's position is vacant after Steven Gerrard retired from England duty earlier this month, and Shilton says: "Wayne Rooney the most experienced player. I think he had a decent World Cup. I think he's probably a logical choice. He's still got a couple of good years in him.

"You only come together 10 or so times a year. It's more of a figurehead-type role. It has to be somebody who can lead on the pitch."

Those qualifiers are really tricky and it took me a year or two. It can happen. They are not out of the tie, but they will have to play supremely well to get through.

German breweries will be toasting the country's World Cup success more than most, with sales having risen by 4.4 percent in their run to the title.

The Federal Statistical Office says German-based breweries saw a 14% year-on-year increase in beer sales in June, the month the World Cup started, selling a total of 970 million litres (256m gallons) in that period - the highest figure for the month since 2010, when the last World Cup was held.

West Brom, meanwhile, are contemplating bids for Switzerland striker Haris Seferovic and French winger Jonathan Biabiany, says the Express & Star.

Seferovic, 22, plays for Real Sociedad but struggled to score regular goals for the La Liga outfit last season.

Wednesday's defeat for Celtic may have stirred painful memories of another European shocker for the Hoops. They lost 5-0 to Artmedia Bratislava in 2005 in what was former manager Gordon Strachan's first game in charge. Was Wednesday's defeat as bad as that one?

If there is any comfort for them, though, plenty of other sides have suffered European nights to forget, and some you may not remember. Coventry were taken apart 6-1 by Bayern Munich in the second round of the 1970-71 Fairs Cup, while Derby were beaten 5-1 by Real Madrid in the European Cup four years later.
