Richest young sports stars in Britain revealed in new Sunday Times rankings
Golfer Rory McIlroy has beaten a host of footballers to become the richest young sports star in Britain, new figures reveal today.

He signed deals with sports giant Nike and TaylorMade, the American club manufacturer, worth a combined £150m. It meant his net worth grew by £28m to £110m. He ranks No1 on the Sunday Times Rich List: Richest Young Sports Stars, revealed today. Andy Murray lies second on the list with wealth now at £83m.

United by Sport: Moscow Hosts World Football Tournament for Orphaned Kids
For years Moscow's Sapsan Arena was hosting only local football games. But for the five days it will become home to amateur players from all over the world. Most young Team Brazil members have never been to Russia before. So when they saw a pile of snow on the sidewalk (which is very rare even for Moscow during this time of year) — they rushed to make selfies in front of it. Team India is represented by girls from Karunalaya Centre for street and working children. They all come from Chennai — a city with population of over 7 million, which has many problems when it comes to poverty and homelessness.
