As a cat person I could happily sit here and grin about Arabian Sand Cats and Amur Leopards. However, that would be a disservice to the amazing events over the weekend. As usual, Monday’s R2BC tends to be very sports heavy, and with the Rio Olympics underway, today is no exception. I’d usually dwell on the success of British athletes, but for me the most inspiring stories are the success for Vietnam’s 1st Olympic Gold and Kosovo’s 1st ever Olympic Medal.

So please enjoy these positive news stories and here’s hoping you find your own golds. 🙂
