Dress Codes: How high is too high? The evolution of the women’s running brief
By Jacqui Palumbo, CNN(CNN) — When women first competed in Olympic track and field events in 1928, they wore loose t-shirts and wide shorts, sometimes cinched with a belt. The controversy follows a headline-making protest at the 2020 Tokyo Games, when the German women’s gymnastics team rejected bikini-cut unitards in favor of fuller coverage, in a statement against “sexualization in gymnastics,” the German Gymnastics Federation said at the time. Function and styleOn the Olympic track, there aren’t many regulations when it comes to what athletes can wear. Look good, feel good, do good.

Alliance and EXO Clan take Apex Legends by storm at Esports World Cup
Khelif was faced international scrutiny after the banned International Boxing Association claimed Khelif failed an unspecified eligibility test for women’s competition last year. “Let’s be very clear here: We are talking about women’s boxing,” Bach said Saturday. “What we see now is that some want to own the definition of who is a woman,” Bach added. The reduced field at the Paris Olympics boxing tournament — which has the fewest number of total boxers since 1956 — means that many fighters can clinch medals with just two victories. The Olympic sport reached gender parity for the first time in Paris, inviting 124 men and 124 women just 12 years after women’s boxing made its Olympic debut.

Brilliant Cheptegei completes set with 10,000m gold
PARIS, (Reuters) – World record holder Joshua Cheptegei claimed the Olympic 10,000 metres title he so desperately wanted on Friday when he found a late surge to win a fantastic race and take the Games’ first track gold. The 27-year-old Ugandan, who took silver in Tokyo and gold over 5,000m, produced a devastating last 600 metres to come home in 26:43.14 minutes – knocking 18 seconds off Kenenisa Bekele’s 2008 Olympic record. Cheptegei, world champion in 2019, 2022 and 2023, was surprisingly beaten to gold by Ethiopian Selemon Barega in Tokyo and was desperate for revenge. When I took silver in Tokyo I was so disappointed. I just wanted to win the 10,000m.”

Somalia beach attack kills 32 civilians
At least 32 civilians were killed and 63 injured in an explosion on a popular beach in the Somali capital Mogadishu late yesterday evening, police said, an attack blamed by Somali state media on the militant group al-Shabaab. There was no immediate claim of responsibility by the al Qaeda-linked al-Shabaab, which has claimed similar attacks in the past, including the car bomb attack in 2022. Police spokesperson Abdifatah Aden said in addition to the civilians killed in the explosion, one of the attackers had blown himself up while three others had been killed by security forces. State news agency SONNA had earlier said five al-Shabaab attackers had been killed by security forces while a sixth had blown himself up during the assault.
