5 who showcases tableau at republic day parade

TORUN, POLAND (AFP) - Armand 'Mondo' Duplantis and Jakob Ingebrigtsen, two of the rising stars of track and field, showcased all their incredible promise with imperious displays to win the pole vault and 3,000 metres at the European Indoor Athletics championships in Torun on Sunday (March 7). Coming up to four years since Usain Bolt retired, the athletics world has been long looking for a replacement worthy of the plaudits lauded on the multi-medalled Jamaican sprint legend. And in US-born Swede Duplantis and Norwegian track prodigy Ingebrigtsen, they might well have found two suitable substitutes in a sport in need of identifiable pin-ups. Ingebrigtsen, 20, defended his 3,000m title to claim a Euro indoor double after his controversy-ridden victory in the 1,500m on Friday, recording a personal best of 7min 48.20sec. It was almost a case of the Norwegian heading home with nothing after a dramatic 1,500m that saw him disqualified for stepping infield, only to be reinstated in ... » Learn More about Athletics: Rising stars Duplantis, Ingebrigtsen imperious at European indoor meet

President Rodrigo Duterte urged Filipinos to recognize the role of women in bringing progress to the country as the Philippines marked National Women’s Day on Monday. In his message on Monday, Duterte said while there is still much to be done to bring about full gender equality, the government can proudly say that it has created “an environment where women’s rights are respected and their contributions to society are recognized.” “I therefore encourage every Filipino to join us in celebrating the indispensable role of women in our nation’s progress by participating in this month-long celebration and supporting advocacies that seek to fight for and acknowledge the inalienable rights of women as equal partners of men,” the President said. He also urged Filipinos to empower women “to break not only the barriers that have long hindered them from reaching their full potential, but also the backward mindset that fueled a culture of gender oppression and inequality.” Duterte has ... » Learn More about Duterte cites women’s role in nation’s progress

Getting your hands on a PS5 or Xbox Series X remains a crapshoot even now a good long while after pre-orders first opened, but restocks are starting to come more regularly, and resale prices are at least coming down off of their astronomical December highs. I’m seeing more and more people on my timeline celebrating getting their hands on a new console, so that means that at least some of these machines are filtering out into the general public. And there’s a restock coming to GameStop today, January 21: here’s what you need to know. GameStop’s Twitter account posted that it will have availability on PS5, Xbox Series X and Switch sometime today at its website, though we don’t have an exact time.

One place the announcement will definitely come through is on the GameStop Twitter ... » Learn More about GameStop Restocks PS5, Xbox Series: What You Need To Know
