The sporting world has come together to declare its support of the French people who have suffered through a number of brutal terrorist attacks in Paris.
Across the globe, sporting events were taken over by a sense of shock and mourning after news spread that over 100 people had died in the coordinated attacks.
But the sadness soon turned to a show of strength and solidarity, as French flags and colours swept across crowds and stadiums.
