Amid accusations of sexism, Nike faces criticism for its new athletics uniforms for women presented for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, This is what the media reported ABC News. Controversies arose after an image of the designs was released by the Faster magazinewhere a model was shown wearing a high-cut bikini line for the competitors. This revelation has sparked thousands of comments online, including from well-known former American athletes, who have expressed their concern and discontent with the design proposed by the sports brand.
One of the most critical voices has been that of former athlete Lauren Fleshman, who commented that “Women’s uniforms must be at the service of performance, mental and physical. If this outfit was truly beneficial for physical performance, men would wear it”. Fleshman was emphatic in pointing out the design as a costume influenced by “patriarchal forces,” suggesting that behind this choice there are motivations that do not correspond merely to sporting performance.
On the other hand, the Olympic pole vault champion, Katie Moon, also spoke out on the matter on her Instagram account,

There is another reason why the Korean national under-23 football team, which is trying to advance to the Olympic Games for the 10th time in a row for the first time, must win the Asian Under-23 Cup, which is also acting as the final for the Paris Olympics. Up to third place goes straight to the finals, but you have to win to get into a relatively easy group in the finals.
According to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) on the 18th, the Asian team for the Paris Olympic men’s football finals will follow the final standings of the Qatar AFC U23 Asian Cup 2024.
In the draw for the finals of the Paris Olympics held on the 21st of last month, Asian teams that had not yet been selected for promotion were arbitrarily marked as ‘Asia 1’,

Also crucial in the new position: With a run-up Kimmich has arrived at the right back
As of: April 18, 2024 7:58 a.m
Joshua Kimmich took his Bayern to the semi-finals of the Champions League – as a right-back. Wednesday evening (April 17, 2024) with the 1-0 win against Arsenal FC could be Kimmich’s peace deal with the unpopular position.
It is still not entirely clear whether there was actually an agreement between the club and national coaches. But the fact that this spring both Thomas Tuchel and Julian Nagelsmann decided for their teams almost at the same time that Kimmich on the right was now the better option than Kimmich in the middle – that would be a bit too much of a coincidence.
Kimmich considers himself to be more valuable centrally
It is well known that Kimmich personally has a completely different opinion on this matter than Nagelsmann, with whom he has an excellent relationship, and Tuchel, with whom he has a professional relationship at best. Kimmich firmly believes that he is most valuable to his teams in the center of the action.
