Tokyo Olympics 2020: Athletes will put on their own medals

Tokyo Olympics

To prevent the coronavirus from spreading at the Tokyo Olympics, athletes will wear their medals around their necks themsleves.

International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach announced the “very significant change” to traditional medal presentations in the 339 events on Wednesday.

“The medals will not be given around the neck,” Bach told international media on a conference call from Tokyo. “They will be presented to the athlete on a tray and then the athlete will take the medal him or herself.”

“It will be made sure that the person who will put the medal on tray will do so only with disinfected gloves so that the athlete can be sure that nobody touched them before,” Bach added.

The Olympic practice differs from that of European football, where UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has personally draped medals over the necks of players at recent championship finals.

At the Euro 2020 medal and trophy ceremony in London on Sunday, Ceferin shook hands with Italy’s star goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. In a penalty shootout, Donnarumma’s save secured Italy’s victory over England.

Bach confirmed on Wednesday that in Tokyo “there will be no shake hands and there will be no hugs there during the ceremony.”

An IOC member or a high-ranking official from a sport’s governing body often presents an Olympic medal.

The International Olympic Committee previously stated that medalists and ceremony officials would be required to wear masks.

The Tokyo Olympics begin on July 23 with the city in a state of emergency due to an increase of COVID-19 cases.

MG3 from MG motors oversee a manufacturing default

MG3 from MG motors oversee a manufacturing default

MG has issued a product safety recall for over 4000 samples of its popular MG3 hatchback due to the potential of fuel tanks falling out.

The top-selling light car in Australia might have its fuel tank fall out.

A total of 3944 samples of the Chinese-made MG3, which is Australia’s best-selling light car and MG’s second best seller, are affected nationwide.

Whereas, Vehicles sold between January 1 and May 19 this year are included.

According to MG. The fasteners holding the fuel tank strap may be defective and could fail, causing the vehicle’s fuel tank to “detach from the vehicle”.

“If the fuel tank detaches from the vehicle, this may cause fuel to leak from the tank. This could result in a fire or an accident, increasing the risk of serious injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users,” said MG.

MG Motor Australia later stated saying it is,  “aware of a small number of potentially faulty bolts used in the fitment of the MG 3 fuel tank retention straps and is working closely with the ACCC to undertake a safety campaign relating to select vehicles”.

“While the components identified represent a small proportion of all those fitted to MG 3 models here in Australia, customer safety is and has always been a leading priority for MG,” said MG Motor Australia

In Australia, no fuel tanks have come loose from vehicles, and MG will repair all affected vehicles in transit and in dealer stock.

However, MG is asking affected owners to contact their local MG dealership to schedule a free inspection and replacement of the fuel tank retaining bolts free of charge.

UFC 264: How Much Money Did Conor McGregor make in the loss against Poirier?

UFC 264

Conor McGregor banked a whopping sum of £3.61million despite losing against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 on Saturday night.

The doctor stopped the bout after the Irishman sustained a nasty leg break at the end of the first round, resulting in a TKO loss.

Fans were denied a true end to the trilogy between McGregor and his American rival, and it was a hugely frustrating conclusion for all involved.

According to The Sports Daily, despite the tragic outcome inside the cage, McGregor’s bank balance has increased by £3.61 million.

Even though Poirier won their second bout back in January, he reportedly earned £736,000, much less than his opponent.

After McGregor’s iconic battle (UFC 229) with Khabib Nurmagomedov, UFC 264 drew just under 1.8 million buys worldwide, making it the second most lucrative in the organization’s history.

Because McGregor was forced out of the fight after only five minutes due to a fractured tibia, he earned £12,033 per second of cage action.
