“Hi it’s Leo, what does it say?”

This Tuesday, April 16, the Olympic flame is lit with the rays of the sun in Olympia, Greece, from 11 a.m. French time. 101 days before the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, this is the start of the Olympic torch relay which will arrive in France on May 8.

Meanwhile, the women’s uniform of the American track and field team unveiled by Nike on April 11 is considered “sexist” by several women, including athletes, on social networks. The bottom of this outfit is very tight at the crotch. The American federation reacted on Sunday, indicating that 50 options are offered in total to athletes.

And then Jul keeps the promise he made to his fans at the beginning of the year. The Marseille rapper will perform at the Stade de France on April 26, 2025, before a new concert at the Vélodrome on May 24, 2025. The 140,000 tickets will go on sale this Wednesday at noon.
