Olympics: The Australian Mens Rugby Sevens had a nervous start to their Olympic campaign as Morocco took down Argentina in chaotic scenes.

But Australia hit back just before half time, with Henry Hutchison smashing through a rare Samoan missed tackle to level the scores at the break. Les Bleus came into the sevens competition on a high, boosted by the presence of Antoine Dupont, viewed by many as the world’s greatest player in the 15-a-side code.
Ireland and the All Blacks emerged on top, both comfortably seeing off Japan and narrowly edging out South Africa. Australian medallist Harry Garside said on Wednesday it would be “a crime” to drop boxing from the 2028 Olympics, calling it a poor man’s sport that saves lives. “To take that away from some young people around the world, it would be a crime, truly.” The International Boxing Association was effectively expelled from the Olympic movement last year following a bitter dispute with its Russian president, Umar Kremlev.
“If you look around the world, it’s the Third World countries that do the best. It’s the countries that come from these really rough areas in the world. And they’re the ones that come and win gold medals. The protocols include wearing masks and isolating outside of training. Paris is the first summer Olympics since the pandemic-delayed Tokyo Games in 2021, which was mostly held without spectators and with rigorous Covid testing procedures in place.
The Canadian Olympic Committee said it had since learned of a second incident involving New Zealand, who formally lodged a complaint with the IOC integrity unit and demanded answers from Canada.“The COC is in contact with the IOC and in contact with FIFA. Canada Soccer has been transparent and cooperative throughout the process,” the COC said.
“After seeing my doctors on Tuesday and waiting an extra day to give myself some more time to see if my condition would improve, things unfortunately got worse,” Sinner said in a statement. Sinner needed a lengthy medical timeout after feeling dizzy and appearing to almost lose his balance during his quarter-final defeat to Daniil Medvedev at Wimbledon.FRENCH MALE HURDLER TO WEAR SKIRT AT OPENING CEREMONY

A French police source told AFP that security forces were “expecting actions and disturbances around the stadium” on Wednesday and said it was possible that “people shout insults from the stands” or that there is “whistling and flags shown during the hymns, for example.”Europalestine, a French activist group behind recent protests, told the Guardian newspaper that it was planning a peaceful demonstration inside the stadium to protest the “genocide” in Gaza.
The Palestine Olympic Committee asked for a ban on Israel in a letter to the IOC, citing the bombings of the besieged Gaza Strip as a breach of the Olympic truce.
