Hi, I'm Leah with all of Monday's best stories.

Coming up on Newsround this afternoon.

Gobi the wonder dog is reunited with his ultra-marathon owner.

It's the big final day of the Notting Hill Carnival.

And forget Rio, Newsround's all about ox racing from now on.

Meet Gobi the dog.

She surprised this marathon runner when she randomly started running

with him, and they became the best of friends.

But there was a little twist in the tail!

Naz has more.

You could say it was love at first stride.

When Dion Leonard went to China to run a gruelling 150-mile

marathon, little did he know he would make a friend.

She ran half the race with me.

We spent the whole week together and literally either by the side

running, or in the evening, she was in my arms during the night,

sleeping and eating with me.

But there was a little twist in the tail.

Dion wanted to bring Gobi the dog back home with him to Scotland,

but first it had to go into Chinese quarantine to make sure

it was healthy enough to travel.

But it escaped.

As Dion loved Gobi so much, he went off to find her.

First stop, where she was last seen, a busy city with lots of dogs,

so it was tough.

I've been out handing these since 6am and actually looking

around the parks and local areas for the dogs and speaking to locals

who actually think they have seen Gobi but unfortunately

it isn't Gobi.

But then it went viral on social media and before long Dion had some

leads and Gobi was found.

This lovely father and son had found her and we went

out to see her.

She ran across the land and basically ran

straight into my arms.

She was so excited to see me and I had just walked in the door,

I hadn't said a word to her, so she knew it was me straightaway.

So Gobi is now finally getting ready to move to Scotland.

I think the first command Dion will be teaching her...stay!

It's the final day of London's biggest street party,

the Notting Hill Carnival, which is celebrating its 50th

birthday, although some say it's even older.

Yesterday, on Family Day, children performed in colourful

costumes, dancing their way through the streets

to the sound calypso music.

Every year, more than 1 million people head to west London to enjoy

two days of partying.

If you've been out cycling this weekend and fancy hearing

from a pro in the sport, then this is for you.

Callum Skinner won a gold and a silver medal in this summer's

Olympics and now that he's back from Rio.

Three cycling fans went to meet him to find out what it's

like being an Olympic cyclist.

COMMENTATOR: Who is going to claim the gold medal here in Rio?

Up towards the line and the gold medal goes to Great Britain.

Have you always wanted to be an Olympic track cyclist?

Not really.

I just kind of did lots of sport for fun.

So I did pretty much everything I could have a go of,

so I did fencing, badminton, rugby, kayaking even.

The trick is just to find something you enjoy.

I'm lucky enough that a hobby has turned into a career

and it is going pretty well so far.

Just find something you enjoy and if you love it

it should go well.

What is your favourite track event, keirin or sprint?

The sprint.

The keirin didn't go too well for me.

I got disqualified for pulling a bit of a manoeuvre so sprint

is definitely my favourite.

What was your first cycling club?

I started at a club called the Edinburgh Racers,

which is based at a velodrome called Meadowbank.

That used to be the only velodrome in the UK and it was outdoors

so we couldn't use it in the winter.

The first time I showed up was actually in autumn and they said

the velodrome is closed for six months so come back later.

Luckily, there are a lot of tracks now in the UK now you can

have a go at.

How many hours a week do you train for?

We do maybe three full days a week and then the rest are half days.

We don't actually do that much because the sprinters we only do

efforts for a few seconds at a time or we are in the gym.

So they are quite leisurely.

And if you can't get enough of our chats with all our TeamGB Rio

heroes, there's loads more to get your teeth into over

at Newsround online, hope you're feeling inspired!

Now the Olympics isn't the only sporting event that takes

place every four years, here's another, less famous one.

Yes, it's ox racing.

Thousands of people head to southern Germany to watch the event.

The race course is a hundred metres long, but the hardest part

for the riders is trying to stay on the animal!

That's all from the Newsround team.

I'll be back first thing tomorrow.
