The Latest on Russia's appeal against the Olympic ban on its track and field athletes (all times local to Rio de Janeiro):
7:30 a.m.
Two-time Olympic pole vault champion Yelena Isinbayeva says banning Russia's track and field team from next month's Rio de Janeiro Games represents the "funeral" of her sport.
In comments to Russian state news agency Tass, Isinbayeva says ironically: "Thank you everyone for the funeral of athletics. It's a pure political decision."
Isinbayeva, who represented Russian athletes at Tuesday's hearing in Switzerland, says there is "nothing concrete" behind the ruling to uphold the ban.
