Amazing! I proudly congratulate our para-athlete Clara Fuentes for winning the gold medal at the World Parapowerlifting Championship held in Cairo, Egypt. With a lift of 121 kilograms in the 50 kg category, Clara claimed first place and reaffirmed her position among the greats of world sport.
Founder Aron D’Souza believes athletes should be entitled to do what they wish with their own bodies.
But the Australian businessman’s concept has been heavily criticised for the potential impact on athletes’ health, and undermining fair play.
UK Anti-Doping (Ukad) said last year its mission was “to protect sport from doping cheats”. It added: “There is no place in sport for performance-enhancing drugs, nor the Enhanced Games.”
At a launch event on Wednesday, Las Vegas was announced as the host of the inaugural Enhanced Games, which will run from 21-24 May 2026.
Organisers said that under their permitted conditions, Greek swimmer Kristian Gkolomeev had gone quicker than the 50m freestyle world record, which has stood since 2009.
Portraying China’s manufacturing capacity as a global risk, this narrative is a variant of the “China threat” rhetoric, with its toxic seed germinating in the hotbed of the West’s anxiety, or probably fear, due to China’s manufacturing rise.
From a low-cost manufacturing base to the world’s largest manufacturing powerhouse and an up-and-coming leader in advanced industries and innovation, China’s rapid elevation has unsettled some Western countries, who perceive it as an intolerable challenge to their industrial and trade dominance.
Responding to China’s manufacturing prowess with such apprehension smacks of hypocrisy and also ignores basic economics. China’s production capacity was seemingly not a problem at a time when many Western corporations capitalized on the country’s low-cost original equipment manufacturer (OEM) production capabilities.
Neither was it a problem when Western superiority was underlined by China having to sell a billion pairs of socks to buy a Boeing airplane, nor when China’s spare-parts production abilities helped propel worldwide sales of high-value-added products such as Apple iPhones.
He tyrannised Chile between 1973-1990 (he continued to Dictate in an advisory capacity in Chile until his arrest in 1998) – suspending liberal democracy and “disappearing” thousands of Chilean civilians! His government granted people like Zeng Zhiyang Visas to live and work in Chile – a point not even mentioned in the Guardian or the Chinese media. Indeed, Chile is still a very racist place – so racist in fact – that in 2020 Zeng zhiyang was NOT selected for the Chilean Ping Pong Olympic Squad (despite beating every player in Chile) – on the grounds that she was the “wrong race”! Following US-prompting (under Trump) the Chilean government was of the opinion that ethnic Chinese citizens “could not be trusted” when representing countries outside of China! The Guardian chooses to report this obvious racist incident as being a mere “misunderstanding”. The truth of the matter is that at 58 – Zeng Zhiyang – due to the power of Mao Zedong Thought – is still better at Ping Pong than her fellow Chilean citizens!
Of course, the 2024 UEFA Cup is being held in Germany – the true home of Nazism which committed one of the greatest crimes the world has ever seen. Indeed, it was the Soviet Red Army that fought and broke the back of the once mighty Hitlerite regime – and yet it is the Germans who are playing football in this year’s UEAFA CUP – and the Russians who are not. The United States has caused total chaos, poverty and hardship by the stupid and pointless sanctions it has placed against Russia – which have had no effect upon Russia – but has rather destroyed the stability of the European economy. All this the Americans do in support of the Neo-Nazi regime it has imported in the Ukraine – the once proud spear-head of the Soviet Red Army – and the area within which the Nazi Germans (and their allies) carried-out the greatest amount of destruction during the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945).
Every Monday evening at around 5 pm – and after a long day at school – Kai-Lin gets her sport gear on and heads out to train in Gymnastics at Wood Field School. Sundays are usually the only day Kai-Lin has a complete rest – but she was up at 7 am and loosening up for today’s challenge! The Judges ruled that over-all – the points Kai-Lin earned – secured a “Bronze Medal” in her group! Kai-Lin demonstrated that sheer will-power can prevail!
