As acting president of the Ukrainian Athletics Federation Yevhen Pronin main task is to be a focal point, to ensure Ukrainian athletes have what they need to perform to their best ability on the world stage. In the past few months Yevhen has juggled his duty to Ukrainian athletics, including leading the team at the World Championships in Eugenie and in Munch last month at the European Championship and the war. Today he is on the front line of the war with Russia. Today he is operating deadly drones. Today is a totally different day in the life of Yevhen Pronin. He's has been telling Caroline Barker just how different his life is now and his hopes for the future.

The World Para Athletics championships, should be taking place in Kobe, Japan. The city was due to host both the International Paralympic Committee (the IPC) championships and the IAAF World Championships. The IAAF reorganised their competition, taking place in Eugenie in July, but the IPC were unable to do so meaning para athletes were left without any tournament. Triple gold winning Paralympic sprinter Nick Mayhugh tells us about not competing, on why it's so important to have big characters in the sport, even if that means some people don't like you. Plus the importance of educating people about para-sport and challenging stereotypes about cerebral palsy

Hockenheim is the venue this weekend for the first race of the GT World Challenge since it's return from a summer break. It's only been a month, but for the women of Iron Dames it must seem like a life time ago. Denmark's Michelle Gatting was part of the team that recently became the first all-female team to win their class at the historic 24 hours of Spa. She been telling me about entering the history book, the challenges she's faced throughout her career and what this victory could mean for women in motor sport
