GENEVA (AP) — IOC president Thomas Bach criticized the Ukrainian government on Thursday for blocking some athletes from qualifying events for the 2024 Paris Olympics that also included Russians and Belarusians.Ukrainian athletes have in recent weeks missed world or European championship events in judo, fencing and taekwondo where Russians and Belarusians could compete after being approved as neutrals.The IOC and Bach in March shaped the definition of neutrality — not publicly supporting the war, nor being contracted to the military since February last year, competing without flag, anthem or national colors — that sports governing bodies must decide how or if to apply.“It is hard to understand why the Ukrainian government is depriving their own athletes from their chance to qualify” for Paris, Bach said in a keynote speech to an International Olympic Committee online meeting. Ukrainian athletes were “being sanctioned by their own government,” Bach said, adding the IOC and Olympic spo...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:32:48 GMT

Calor, días largos y noches cortas son algunas señales de que el verano oficialmente llegó. Sin embargo, eso no ha sido lo que los residentes del DMV han experimentado este año. Una tormenta estacionaria cerca del centro de Estados Unidos ha dejado una semana lluviosa para el este de la nación, según el meteorólogo de Telemundo 44, Joseph Martínez. “Esta lluvia se debe a un amplio sistema de mal tiempo. El centro de la tormenta se encuentra estacionario entre Kentucky y Tennessee, pero es tan grande que está abarcando más de mil millas: desde Florida hasta Nueva York”, explicó.Debido a esto, el miércoles 21 de junio, día del solsticio de verano, pasó a la historia como uno de los más frescos del que se tiene registro con temperaturas en el rango de los bajos 70. Para esta fecha el termómetro debería marcar 87 grados.Martínez indicó que se espera que el sistema deje dos pulgadas de lluvia esta semana en el área de Washington DC lo que supera la cantidad acumulada durante ...

The search for the missing Titanic submersible passes the critical 96-hour mark for oxygen supply

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:32:48 GMT

The search for the missing submersible on an expedition to view the wreckage of the Titanic passed the critical 96-hour mark Thursday when breathable air could have run out, a grim moment in the intense effort to save the five people aboard.The Titan submersible was estimated to have about a four-day supply of breathable air when it launched Sunday morning in the North Atlantic — but experts have emphasized that was an imprecise approximation to begin with and could be extended if passengers have taken measures to conserve breathable air. And it’s not known if they survived since the sub’s disappearance.Rescuers have rushed ships, planes and other equipment to the site of the disappearance. On Thursday, the U.S. Coast Guard said an undersea robot sent by a Canadian ship had reached the sea floor, while a French research institute said a deep-diving robot with cameras, lights and arms also joined the operation.Authorities are hoping underwater sounds might help narrow their search, w...
