The week in sport - in pictures

best of the week: A competitor poses
This chap is competing for the title of 'Mr. Mumbai'. Not sure why he's strutting his stuff in a stairwell, but the guy watching him seems curiously transfixed. His bronze glow perfectly complements the stairwell. That's gotta be worth extra points, surely? Photograph: Danish Siddiqui/Reuters
best of the week: An athlete competes
Vladimir Kalinichenko from Belgorod carries a 200 kg weight which looks suspiciously like an ice cream. Presumably he has to eat it at the end of the competition? You'd hope so Photograph: Ilya Naymushin/Reuters
best of the week: The Beach Boys band member

best of the week: RUGBYU-EUR-CHALLENGE-STADE-FRANCAIS-EXETER

best of the week: Cricket
At Edgbaston in England, here's a view from new the Pavilion stand with Birmingham City centre in the distance. Beautiful isn't it? No? Photograph: Nick Potts/PA
best of the week: -
French boxer Salim Larbi forgets that boxing is meant to be a masculine sport as he sheds a tear after being knocked-out at the end of his World Boxing Organization interim champion match against Czech boxer Lukas Konecny Photograph: Radek Mica/AFP/Getty Images
best of the week: The early arrivals
There she goes! Platforms on a grassy slope at Aintree. Did not see that accident coming at all. Photograph: Kelvin Bruce / Max Mumby/Enigma
best of the week: Watson of the U.S. hits his tee shot
Not since Nicklas Bendtner has a sportsman dared to go pink. Unlike Bendtner, Bubba Watson still manages to look mean. And he's a winner too. Another considerable difference with the big Dane Photograph: Brian Snyder/Reuters
best of the week: sport
