At the Stade Pierre-Mauroy, Lille and Olympique de Marseille shared the points in an intense and strategic 1-1 draw, keeping the race for European competition spots wide open.
The scoring opened in the 57th minute when Amine Gouiri finished off an assist from Adrien Rabiot to give the visitors the lead. But Lille responded in the 74th minute with a well-executed team move that ended with a clean finish from Matías Fernández-Pardo.
With this result, Olympique de Marseille remains in second place with 59 points, while Lille now sits on 57, level with Nice and Strasbourg, in a tightly contested battle for the European places.
Marseille coach Roberto De Zerbi expressed satisfaction with his team’s performance but regretted missing out on a win that would have brought them closer to a direct Champions League spot.
Meanwhile, Lille showed grit and determination to fight back and stay in contention. Head coach Paulo Fonseca praised his players' resilience and highlighted the importance of every point at this decisive stage of the season.
Both teams face key challenges ahead: Lille will visit Brest, while Marseille will take on Le Havre — matches that could define their destiny in the closing weeks of the campaign.
The high-rise housing estates in the north of Marseille are in the grip of drug gangs. Residents of these underserved neighborhoods are forced to live with violence and a lack of opportunities. But not everyone is willing to accept the situation.
drug trafficking and gang wars are a part of everyday life
Drug-related violence has claimed dozens of lives in recent years and the French government has been unable to improve the situation
The 21-year-old is the founder of an organization called Conscience
The group campaigns locally and citywide for better living conditions in these neighborhoods
It also supports families who have lost loved-ones to drug-related gang violence — something Amine has experienced himself
Another ray of hope for these troubled districts is a converted firefighting bus that provides medical assistance

27/04/2025Olympique de Marseille moved two points ahead of Lille thanks to another explosive attacking display at the Vélodrome to blow apart an initially tricky Brest side
Amine Gouiri’s hattrick included a stunning overhead kick
A crucial test awaited Les Olympiens after their return from a Roman training camp to find some solace ahead of a crunch run-in for Champions League football
Roberto De Zerbi’s men were helped by Monaco’s draw to Le Havre on Saturday
but LOSC’s win over Angers saw OM drop to fourth ahead of the game with an opportunity to retake second from the Northern side
Pre-match formalities saw OM’s South Winners ultra group pay homage to the late pope with a tifo
before 1993 OM legend Basile Boli took the ceremonial kick-off of a match that was dedicated to the club’s partnership with the Ivory Coast
But it was straight to on-pitch action as Brest saw an immediate chance to get on the scoresheet when Brighton loanee Sima burst through the OM back-line and had to be stopped by a fine rush from Geronimo Rulli in the opening minute
Les Pirates started the better of the two sides
but then Les Olympiens showed a rare streak of clinical efficiency when Amine Gouri brought down a searching effort floated by Luis Henrique in the box and provided a low finish past Coudert
as De Zerbi fist-pumped the Vélodrome’s main stand
But it wouldn’t last long until OM’s defensive deficiencies were once again exposed
Brest saw out the first minutes of the half well and caused trouble with Ludovic Ajorque’s physical presence in the box
Brenden Chardonnet’s power header rattled Rulli’s cross bar
and no OM defender could get to Brighton loanee Abdallah Sima who buried the follow-up on the rebound to put Les Pirates back on level terms
but it didn’t stop De Zerbi’s men from going in front again through Mason Greenwood
The Englishman had a typical quiet start to the match
but he received the ball from Højbjerg after a short-free kick was played quickly
and he drove to the edge of the box and unleashed a strike which was heavily deflected off Chardonnet
Then the moment of magic came from Amine Gouiri to get his second goal of the game
with an outrageous overhead kick after a magnificent first touch to control Mason Greenwood’s delayed cross
Brest had come out for the second half with a renewed vigour
and the game would settle into a quiet period of possession for both sides
But a cutting through ball from Adrien Rabiot saw Amine Gouiri race down on goal and slot home to give OM some more comfort – confirmed by VAR after it was initially flagged for offside by the assistant referee
considering OM’s defensive struggles lately
His calmness and confidence was personified by a rogue run up the right wing early in the first half
it shored up what had been a shaky back three in recent games in general play
But a collective lack of focus for Brest’s equalising goal could have been damaging if not for a very good attacking display for Marseille
Provided the searching floated assist for Amine Gouiri’s opener
but then seemed to struggle to get into the game
much in the image of his previous performances in the last month or so with OM
The Englishman once again struggled to get into the game in the early periods
but it looks as if De Zerbi is correct in his analysis that Greenwood has regained a bit of pace and intensity which had been missing for a few months
He put a ball on a plate for Amine Gouiri to strike with a stunning overhead kick for his assist
after he had grabbed his own thanks to a reasonable dose of luck
His 19th goal of the season came in the form of a heavily deflected strike off Brest defender Chardonnet
but he closes in now on Ousmane Dembélé (21 goals) in the race for the golden boot
Began the game in ideal fashion when he put OM ahead with a fantastic first touch to set up his low strike past Coudert in the 25th minute
he was still excellent offensively and created a moment which will live long in the memory for OM fans when he scored a stunning overhead kick at a vital juncture of the game
and to the strike itself – it was simply sublime
Just when OM were struggling in the second period
he provided the hat trick with a clinical finish underneath Coudert after being fed through by Adrien Rabiot
Perhaps he’s finally living up to De Zerbi’s ‘Higuain’ vision of Gouiri

Home » We Boarded Tara Oceans in Marseille
The schooner Tara Oceans has been docked in Marseille since yesterday. Moored in front of the MUCEM (the Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilizations) until Sunday, the famous sailboat of the Tara Ocean Foundation
the French organization dedicated to scientific research and the preservation of the marine environment
is at the dock to raise awareness about plastic pollution in the oceans
the schooner is currently on a mission along the European coastline
DirectIndustry boarded the ship with Romain Troublé
Thomas Fettig and Astrid Aguëra contributed to this report
The Tara Oceans schooner arrived yesterday morning in Marseille
for a few days of stopover in front of the MUCEM
The Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilizations is celebrating its 10th anniversary
The famous sailboat was designed by Jean-Louis Étienne for the Arctic
It was later owned by the sailor Sir Peter Blake
The boat has been exploring the seas and oceans of the globe since 1989
The schooner has traveled nearly 600,000 kilometers on water and visited 75 countries
The last time it was in Marseille was in 2019
The Tara Ocean Foundation is a French foundation with a seat at the UN
It is particularly known for its studies on marine biodiversity
13,000 water samples have already been collected by the Tara Foundation according to protocols established by hundreds of laboratories worldwide
The analyses that resulted from this have made it possible to characterize some 200,000 viruses
and to discover 100,000 new species of microalgae
The objective is to characterize the chemical pollution of our coastlines and to see how coastal ecosystems react to the impacts of human activities
Departing from Lorient (France) last April
the schooner arrived in Tallinn (Estonia) in June
it has been descending the coast towards Greece
and then it went up the Spanish coast to arrive in France
It will then sail to Italy before reaching Thessaloniki in Greece by the end of August
it will spend 6 months in the Mediterranean area
Director General of the Tara Ocean Foundation:
“The mission is to understand the watersheds
what are the solutions that need to be implemented to stop the most problematic ones first
The EMBL (European Molecular Biology Laboratory) will then analyze the data
It is the equivalent of CERN in physics for health
with whom the Tara Ocean Foundation collaborates
This laboratory uses genomic techniques typically reserved for medicine but applied to the ocean here
and the seagrass to establish links between land and sea
“It is a fundamental research mission that will bring out future water quality issues
But water quality is a major issue for Europe and especially for the European Green Deal
where we must also think about the climate
and an artist to share and testify to the research and help raise awareness
This is where the sampling mission begins with a set of sampling bottles assembled in a large oceanographic instrument called the CTD rosette
the rosette is capable of sampling in both the Arctic and very warm seas up to 2500 meters deep
It provides information on water salinity and temperature
but also on living organisms present in the water column
“It is from the aft deck that we have access to the sea
And with the oceanographic winch coming from under the aft deck
This allows us to take samples to the bottom of the sea
The bottles are submerged in the open position
They close automatically thanks to a pre-programmed system once the collection is complete
“We can deploy the rosette in meteorological conditions up to 25 knots of wind and 2.50 meters of swell
We stop when we start taking on water on the deck
we cannot work anymore; it becomes dangerous for the equipment
An oceanographic engineer is permanently on board to maintain the equipment
Samples can be taken at the entrance and/or exit of ports to monitor invasive species brought in
The goal is to have a comprehensive view of the entire European coastline
Once the water is collected and brought up with the rosette
The first filtration step is done in the wet lab on the deck
scientists work on characterizing the data
emphasizes that Tara’s mission is to collect data and concentrate samples
They will then be sent to land-based laboratories such as the EMBL for further studies and analyses
“Tara is a laboratory that allows sampling of biological species
but also chemical molecules like carbon or mercury
We will also identify a whole range of pollutants
But we only do sampling; there is no analysis on board.”
Various sampling tools are available in Tara’s laboratories
we pump water directly and pass it through filters to collect biomass.”
pre-filtered water is passed through extraction cartridges
These cartridges attract the chemical molecules we want to sample
The sorting lab also has imaging tools. A Leica binocular microscope. And also a FloCam by Yokogawa that analyzes subvisible particles with flow imaging microscopy
“The FloCam takes photos rapidly and regularly of this plankton
This gives an idea of the microorganisms in the samples
The FloCam is also connected to an open-source AI tool, Ecotaxa
This sorts and categorizes the photos directly on the tree of life
water is continuously filtered throughout the mission to monitor basic physicochemical data
an instrument like the FloCam takes photos of all the particles in a five-milliliter water sample to verify water temperature
Each sample is then packaged in a test tube with a unique barcode
Thousands of these tubes are stored on board
Some of the physical samples are stored in large containers of liquid nitrogen at -180°C
Other samples are kept in freezers located at the front of the boat at -20°C or 2°C
The goal for scientists is not to keep the samples on board for too long. Therefore, the samples are shipped to various laboratories participating in the current project, whenever possible. On the day of our visit, the scientists delivered samples of mercury to the Mediterranean Institute of Oceanography in Marseille
Built at the initiative of Jean Louis Etienne in 1989 to explore the Arctic ice
It was constructed with special technical properties to adapt it to polar temperatures
The bottom of the hull is twenty-five millimeters thick
It measures 36 meters in length and 10 meters in width
The boat has two central drifts that provide form stability but no keel
Its rounded shapes allow it to be lifted by the pack ice rather than crushed by the compression of the ice
“I started working with the Foundation almost 20 years ago
the boat is in better condition today than it was twenty years ago
Many workspaces have been really adapted and optimized
so we can’t say it will stop in thirty years.”
while the schooner has been able to sail in all corners of the world
“It is less comfortable in the heat than in the cold because it is very well insulated
There are few openings; it is optimal for cold regions.”
The boat is equipped with two 350-horsepower engines
Samuel admits that due to its size and design
it is difficult to upgrade Tara’s engines to more electric and therefore more environmentally friendly models
the schooner is capable of averaging ten knots
Starting in 2026, a new vessel will join the fleet of the Tara Ocean Foundation. Tara Polar Station
currently under construction in Cherbourg (France)
is a drifting base that will be trapped in the Arctic ice from September 2026
will drift for 14 months and will be able to withstand temperatures of -52°C
This drifting laboratory will feature the same sampling protocols and instruments as the Tara schooner
This equipment will be capable of descending to depths of nearly 2000 meters
is a 1,4 m moon pool that will allow the rosette to be deployed directly into the water from the ship
“When we were in the Arctic with Tara
we had a system with a cable that went outside
so we had to maintain a hole in the ice floe
the idea here is to have continuous access to water at the heart of the ship.”
The mission will study the ecosystem at the ice level
Scientists will also observe fish migrations from the south to the north
They will contribute to alert policymakers to this area which is the focus of many climate-related tensions
we see record-breaking disappearance of sea ice in summer
and the thickness of the sea ice keeps decreasing
We already know that the Arctic is warming three to four times faster than the rest of the planet
This expedition will allow us to predict how we should adapt.”
The presence of the Tara Oceans schooner is part of the 10th-anniversary celebration of the MUCEM
a program is planned throughout the weekend in Marseille for the general public
The Big Blue Museum Exhibition includes visits to the schooner
as well as discussions on the unseen species of the ocean
to try to contribute to improving the fate of this sea.”
Director of the Ocean Culture & Awareness Department of the Tara Foundation
“We will be able to share about the research we conduct on board
to show a little bit the scale between microplastics and marine microorganisms
to understand why this pollution becomes inseparable from microorganisms.”
The idea is also to discuss the challenges of pollution in the Mediterranean and the solutions that can be brought
Tara sets sail again on Sunday morning heading to Nice for a very short stop of three days
It will then perform a sampling sequence for 15 days on the west coast of Italy up to Naples

Olympique de Marseille is enduring one of its most turbulent stretches of the season
A string of negative results in Ligue 1 has pushed the club further away from European qualification spots
and tensions are rising inside the locker room and among fans
head coach Roberto De Zerbi finds himself at the center of speculation regarding his continuity with the team
"I'm very happy to be OM's coach because I love controversy," De Zerbi stated defiantly during a recent press conference
The bold remark has drawn widespread attention in France
sounding more like a challenge to critics than a reassurance to supporters
The former Brighton manager has struggled to implement his philosophy at a club with visible deficiencies
particularly in defense and midfield creativity
he maintains that he has no intention of stepping down
That’s exactly what drew me to Marseille,” added De Zerbi
reports have begun circulating about growing doubts within the club’s hierarchy
Another defeat in the league could be decisive
The locker room appears split in its support of the coach
and fan frustration is mounting with each disappointing result
With the season entering its final stretch
Olympique de Marseille is not just fighting for points but for its identity and credibility
The team must quickly recover its confidence
and restore stability—or risk closing the season in total failure
speculation around De Zerbi’s potential departure only adds to the mounting pressure
The next few games could ultimately determine the Italian’s fate.

Donnarumma's Historic Performance Against MarseillePSG secured a resounding 2-0 victory against Marseille in "Le Classique"
a result that stemmed from great teamwork as they played with one player less for over 50 minutes
Donnarumma's display was remarkable as he achieved something no other goalkeeper had done before in the French classic
VIDEO | Ligue 1 Highlights: Marseille vs PSG
The milestone reached by the Italian goalkeeper was making 10 saves against Marseille, the highest figure for a PSG goalkeeper in Ligue 1 and for any goalkeeper in Le Classique since the 2006-07 season. Sometimes, saves can be as valuable as goals, and in this instance, Donnarumma's saves meant victory for the Parisians.

This obituary is part of a series about people who have died in the coronavirus pandemic. Read about others here
who became the only black president of a top-tier European soccer club when he was appointed to lead France’s Olympique de Marseille
The cause was the coronavirus, the club said in a statement
Diouf had been scheduled to fly to France for urgent treatment before his health deteriorated
and held French and Senegalese citizenship
He moved to France at 18 with the expectation of completing his university studies
but that plan quickly gave way to a stint in journalism
“He’s not a friend — he was a big brother to me,” Boli said
Diouf was hired in 2004 as general manager of Marseille
with a passionate fan base and turbulent modern history
Marseille came up just short of winning a title
twice finishing second in the league and twice losing in the French cup finals
But many credit his recruitment decisions for ending an 18-year wait for the championship
The results of his stewardship notwithstanding
Diouf proved popular with the club’s fan base
among the largest and perhaps most vociferous in French soccer
He had a habit of standing up for the club in the face of criticism
and used his skills as an orator to defend his club’s interests in the media and to motivate the roster
His popularity “was immense with the Marseille people whose hearts he had won,” France’s national team manager
Diouf was widely respected in the soccer world
described him as “a great figure of sport,” and the head of French soccer
called him “an important man in our football
Diouf’s breakthrough in the mainly white world of European soccer management
he told an interviewer in 2008 that being the only black club leader in Europe’s top leagues was “a painful observation.”

Monaco Snatches Second Place from Marseille in Ligue 1Monaco secured a convincing 3-0 win over Marseille at the Stade Louis II
a result that lifted them into second place in the Ligue 1 standings on Matchday 29
in a season where Paris Saint-Germain has already been crowned champion
The team led by Austrian coach Adi Hütter delivered a strong response after their previous setback and left no chance for a Marseille side that once again showed signs of inconsistency
who had just broken a losing streak with a win over Toulouse
were overwhelmed and couldn’t maintain their momentum
The first blow came just after the half-hour mark
when Japanese forward Takumi Minamino capitalized on an assist from Denis Zakaria to open the scoring
who struggled to recover and were outplayed across the pitch
The second half saw Monaco extend their control of the game
Swiss striker Breel Embolo doubled the lead with a composed finish past Argentine keeper Gerónimo Rulli
following a great pass from Brazilian full-back Vanderson
Monaco managed the tempo and denied any serious threats from the opposition
The win was sealed ten minutes from time when Denis Zakaria calmly converted a penalty to make it 3-0
Monaco leapfrogs Marseille into second place
holding a one-point lead over their direct rivals
Although the gap with leaders PSG remains unbridgeable — 21 points — the team from the Principality strengthens its position in the race for European spots with a few games remaining
must refocus if they wish to secure a place in Europe

Behind The Badge is a series by COPA90 exploring football’s unique crests. These Football Times teamed up with their COPA Collective partners to tell the story behind each one.
It’s just an ‘O’ and an ‘M’, what’s all the fuss about? If you look back at Marseille’s first badge in 1899 and latest, modern logo, I wouldn’t blame you if that question popped into your head. Now, unlike the New York Yankees’ two-letter symbol, Marseille’s crests, yesterday and today, represent how a club, sport and society have moved with the times.
At the turn of the 20th century, personal seals were all the rage. So much so that, inspired by his own initial-style seal, René Dufaure de Montmirail decided that OM would follow the same pattern, with the letters ‘O’ and ‘M’ appearing together on the first badge along with the club’s motto ‘Droit au but’ (‘Right to the goal’), which René Dufaure de Montmirail’s wife, Madeleine, came up with.
That particular badge would remain in place throughout the next three decades as professional football came to the fore in France, with Marseille winning national league titles and the Coupe de France on more than one occasion.
A trip back in time greeted the start of the 2009/10 season as Marseille honoured their 110-year anniversary with a more elegant badge, complete with a white ‘O’, a blue ‘M’ and the motto scribed on a golden scroll across the middle. As chance would have it, that was the year Didier Deschamps – the Champions League-winning captain of 17 years prior – guided his Marseille side to a first official Ligue 1 title for almost two decades.
PUMA celebrate Marseille’s win of the inaugural Champions League in 1993 with the launch of a special edition fourth jersey. The shirt will debut in Marseille's final home game of the Ligue 1 season against Brest on 27 May.
The Champions League started life back in 1993, and it was Olympique Marseille that took the glory in that inaugural competition, beating AC Milan 1-0, and in doing so becoming the first French club to win the European Cup. It was also their first-ever European trophy, so kind of a big deal all round, really. Celebrating that feat, PUMA has produced a new fourth shirt, which places all emphasis on that significant star that sits above the club crest.

That emphasis is achieved through the dominating blue star graphic
which radiates out from the star above the crest that represents the club’s triumph in the Champions League
and the overall look is complemented by a silver-printed club crest
The kit will be worn in Marseille’s final home game of the 22/23 season
The Olympique Marseille 22/23 fourth shirt is available on the club's website
Looking back to the 70s for design inspiration
PUMA have unveiled the Olympique Marseille home shirt for the 22/23 season
The jersey sees a return of the blue colouring that was famously worn 50 years ago
For their first return to the Champions League since 2013
PUMA launch the Olympique de Marseille 20/21 third shirt
with a design that’s inspired by the hip-hop culture of the city
It may have been a debut to forget in the end
but Olympique de Marseille wore their new third shirt for the 22/23 season from PUMA in their Champins League group stage opener against Spurs
and following that it has now been officially launched
PUMA unveil the Olympique Marseille 21/22 away shirt
and the launch is the first campaign imagined and designed by the city’s youth
Few cities can boast an identity as unique as Marseille
which is what PUMA and Olympique de Marseille are tapping into with their new “Faster Marseille” range
giving a nod to the vibrancy and energy that makes this area of the French coast special
Inspired by the elements and the people who have shaped the city's history
PUMA have revealed the 23/24 home and away shirts for Olympique de Marseille
Drawing inspiration from the team’s connection with the fans
and then also their geographical positioning on the Mediterranean
PUMA launch the Olympique de Marseille 24/25 home and away shirts
Olympique de Marseille ended their season as so many teams seem to these days
debuting their new home shirt from PUMA for the coming 2019/20 season
The design pays tribute to 120 years of proud footballing tradition and the city of Marseille itself

we are discussing the madness that occurred at the Ft Lauderdale Pro Swim
Ledecky’s world record in the 800 free proves that age is seemingly just a number for her
but it also makes the Rio 2016 swim she beat out more memorable
Marchand has a few areas of improvement to work on if he hopes to return to his Paris form at the World Championships this summer in Singapore
having tight battles in both the 200 and 400 IM but ultimately touching 2nd in both
Cal Bear and Mexican swimmer Humberto Najera took down a pair of national records in the men’s backstroke events
British sprinting beast Ben Proud put his fellow thoroughbreds on notice
winning the men’s 50m freestyle battle here in Marseille by a hefty margin
Setting himself up as the top seed with a morning time of 22.34
Proud made it clear that was just a warm-up swim for him
as the Energy Standard athlete threw down some major heat in the evening
Hitting the wall in 21.85, Proud easily took the gold ahead of runner-up finisher Jesse Puts of Netherlands
who was .03 faster than his morning effort to log a silver medal-worthy 22.33
France’s Clement Mignon rounded out the top 3 in 22.39
just under a tenth faster than his AM effort of 22.47
Proud has already been as fast as 21.71 this year while competing at the Euro Meet in January
The fact he’s hitting this kind of speed 4 weeks out from the British Championships is slightly terrifying
Belarus’ Ilya Shymanovich rocked the winning time of 27.00 in the men’s 50m breaststroke
collecting a new FFN Golden Tour Record in the process
Behind him was Arno Kamminga of Netherlands
For the women’s edition, Tes Schouten got her hands on the wall first to take 50m breast gold in 31.31
Melanie Henique took the women’s 50m fly win, racing herself to the top of the podium in 26.21. That finished just a hair ahead of visiting American Kendyl Stewart
Stewart’s personal best rests at the 25.83 she put down at the 2018 U.S
South African maestro Chad Le Clos also took to the Marseille waters
winning the men’s 200m fly with ease
Le Clos collected a meet record of his own with his winning result of 1:56.09
marking the multi-Olympic medalist’s fastest time of the season
Le Clos’ mark renders the 26-year-old Energy Standard athlete now 5th in the season’s world rankings
Hungary’s Iron Lady Katinka Hosszu threw down a head-turning performance in the women’s 400m IM to crush the field, one which included 200m fly Olympic gold medalist Mireia Belmonte
Hosszu showed she came to play this morning
powering her way to lane 4 with a heat time of 4:34.79
The multi-Olympic champion was even slightly quicker this evening
taking gold in 4:33.83 to make her Marseilles statement
Her outing rockets Hosszu to #2 in the world rankings this season
sitting only behind Japan’s Yui Ohashi
We’ll see how Ohashi responds at the Japanese Championships next month
Belmonte finished with a respectable time of 4:46.33
a mark that seems downright sluggish only when compared to Hosszu’s monster swim
Two other items of note from the women’s 400m IM include Serbia’s Ajna Crevar being disqualified in the final, and Anastasia Gorbenko notching a new Israeli National Record of 4:47.58 in the prelims
Crevar was back in the pool for the last event of the session, as was Belmonte, however, as both women took on the 400m freestyle. But, both women bowed to Australian Maddie Gough
who put up one of her fastest performances ever with a winning time of 4:10.98
Gough’s effort places her within the world’s top 15 performers so far this season
while Belmonte and Crevar settled for silver and bronze with respective efforts of 4:12.72 and 4:14.27
Verraszto got the job done in the 200m IM after his 200m fly silver, with the Hungarian winning in 2:01.29. Greece’s Apostolos Christou nailed the winning effort in the men’s 100m back
clocking the only sub-54 second time of the pack in 53.90
Although Dutch swimmer Kira Toussaint fell just short of the gold medal in tonight’s 100m backstroke
the comeback kid tied her own National Record in her first race back after being vindicated from a doping test debacle
Toussaint already earned a World Championships qualifying time this morning with her top-seeded effort of 59.82, and she managed to shave .02 off of that mark to take silver tonight in 59.80
Topping the women’s 100m backstroke podium this evening was American Kathleen Baker
Baker hit the wall in 59.05 to exceed her time clocked recently at the Pro Swim Series in Des Moines
she touched in 59.17 for the top time in the world

March 22nd, 2019 Britain, Europe, International, News, Previews & Recaps
Dutch National Record holder Kira Toussaint put up a solid performance in her first swim back after having been cleared of a doping test debacle
taking the top seed of the morning in the women’s 100m backstroke
Competing here in Marseille at the FFN Golden Tour Camille Muffat
the former Tennessee Volunteer clocked the only sub-minute time of the morning
That’s Toussaint’s fastest mark of the season and places the 24-year-old as #5 among the world rankings
Another notable performance came from Great Britain’s Ben Proud
as the 50m fly world champion clocked 22.34 to take the top seed ahead of Toussaint’s Dutch teammate Jesse Puts in the men’s 50m freestyle
Proud crushed the fastest time in the world his season with the 21.71 he threw down in Luxembourg this past January
so it’s very possible we could see a sub-22 from the Energy Standard swimmer tonight
Frenchman Clement Mignon lurks as the 3rd seed in 22.47, while Algeria’s Mediterranean Games champion Oussama Sahnoune also made the final in 22.82
Iron Lady Katinka Hosszu was among the women’s 400m IMers in the heats
That’s a big swim from the Hungarian
whose season-best thus far was the 4:38.92 put up in January
The 400m freestyle leaders were Aussie Maddie Gough and Spaniard Mireia Belmonte
while Belmonte took the 2nd seed in 4:16.24
Both outings represent the women’s top times so far this season
There’s at least another remarkable result in the morning heats: 1.01.03 swum by 15 year-old Anastasia Gorbenko improved her recent PB and NR in the 100 back
And that after a 4.47 in the 400 Im (third position in heats lead by Hosszu with 4.34)
4.34.79 was swum by Katinka Hosszu in the 400 Im not 400 free and
was the huge best time in the 400 Im..; if this is true is a great performance not a warm-up tie well off the leaders.
Wonder how many times LeClos looked around when he was the top seed by so much

Marseille Mayor Jean-Claude Gaudin, several public and political figures, as well as representatives of the French Armenian community will come together to officially welcome the naming of the square, in an inauguration event organized jointly by the Marseille municipality and the Coordination Council of Armenian Organizations in France (CCAF).
Tehlirian was born in the village of Nerkin Bagarich, in the Erzurum region, and grew up in nearby Erzincan (Yerznga). He began his education at an Evangelical school in Erzincan, then attended the Ketronakan School of Constantinople. He began his higher education in engineering at a German university but returned to Erzincan when the First World War broke out.
In June 1915, during the deportation of Erzincan Armenians, Tehlirian witnessed the murder of his mother and brother, along with the rape and murder of his three sisters. He was struck on the head and left for dead. He survived and escaped to Tiflis, where he joined the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF).
He participated in volunteer units commanded by General Andranik and also took part in the Volunteer regiment commanded by Sebouh.
In 1921 he was assigned to the ARF’s Operation Nemesis, which sought to punish Turkish officials guilty of organizing and carrying out the Armenian Genocide.
Tehlirian’s main target was Talaat Pasha, one of the triumvirate of Young Turk leaders who had ruled in the last days of the Ottoman Empire; he was a former minister of the interior and a grand vizier (prime minister). Talaat was killed by Tehlirian with a single bullet on the morning of March 15, 1921, in Berlin, in broad daylight. Tehlirian did not flee the scene and was immediately arrested.
He was tried for murder but was exonerated by the German court. His trial became a highly sensational event, examining not only Tehlirian’s guilt but also that of Talaat Pasha for the Armenian deportations and mass killings.
The trial influenced Polish lawyer Raphael Lemkin, who was later to coin the term “genocide.” He reflected on the trial, “Why is a man punished when he kills another man? Why is the killing of a million a lesser crime than the killing of a single individual?”
After the assassination, Tehlirian moved to Serbia and married Anahit Tatikian, who was also from Erzincan. The couple moved to Belgium and lived there until 1945, when they moved to San Francisco.
Tehlirian died in 1960 and is buried at the Ararat Cemetery in Fresno, California.
Why don’t you point out that Raphael Lemkin was a Jew? Is there a reason to hide that fact?
Why don’t you point out that the prevailing majority of the Young Turk leaders were crypto-Jews? Is there a reason to hide that fact?
Is there a reason why these people’s ethnic background is not mentioned:
•Talaat Pasha- Donmeh Jew- Chief architect of the Armenian Genocide
•Djavid Bey- Donmeh Jew- Talaat’s finance minister
•emmanuel carasso- Sephardic Jew- propagandist and prominent member of the Young Turks.
The JEWISH president Simon Peres, of the JEWISH state of Israel openly and publicly denied the Armenian Genocide. Imagine if any other world leader would deny the holocuast, it would be followed by “antisemite” or “he’s the next hitter” but it’s okay for a Jew to deny other people’s genocides. Don’t even get me started on jews in the Soviet Union, Genrikh Yagoda, Leon Trotsky, overseeing the deaths of millions.
Naming a square Soghomon Tehlirian in Marseille is not only to honor the Hero but equally it is in respect of the German Justice!! They say “history repeats itself” I would say history also contradicts itself…look what the German Hitler did later on…but the German people was honest and decent enough to admit and compensate….while these two words don’t exist in the Turkish political dictionary!!!
Proud to live under such a moving Last name…my thanks to the French people…Marseille was an important city that protected my greatuncle during difficult times agter THE trial !!
I wonder how many people are visiting his resting place in Fresno. Instead of walking and yelling in LA , we need to go there every 24th April and show our respect to this great man. I wonder if our young generation knows about him and went there. We have a sacred place here and almost forgot about it. Let’s go there every year and put our flowers and pray for his soul.
The commentators on that page supports a murderer???
it is you and my responsibility to go over with them the stated facts. We should keep talking with them and hopefully some of then would follow your idea. For example, I live more than 40 years at USA and know almost everything about genocide, however, I did not know that Mr. Soghomon Tehlirian’s resting place is in Fresno. I thank you for your information. I should point out that there is Mr. Soghomon Tehlirian’s statue in Yerevan, Armenia.

At least five people were injured and adjacent buildings were evacuated
A fire is preventing rescue teams from searching for possible victims
Firefighters stand next to a bulldozer moving rubble where a building collapsed in Marseille
NICOLAS TUCAT / AFP An apartment building collapsed in an apparent explosion Sunday in the French Mediterranean city of Marseille
with authorities warning there are likely to be fatalities as firefighters battled a blaze
The collapse of the building in the port city in southern France occurred around 12:40 am
damaging parts of the two surrounding buildings
Marseille Mayor Benoît Payan told reporters
"We have to be prepared to have victims in this terrible tragedy," Payan told journalists at the scene in the central La Plaine district
where over 100 firefighters were still getting the blaze under control and the smell of smoke hung in the air
The fire "is extremely difficult to control," said Payan
"The firefighters are judging minute by minute how best to put out this fire because there are potentially people alive inside."
Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin said on the scene that there were between four and ten people trapped under the rubble
"We don't know if they're alive or dead," he told reporters
adding that authorities were also yet to discover the cause of the "very large blast" that prompted the collapse
The intense heat as the building burns has kept search dogs from picking through the rubble
with Darmanin saying it would be "several hours..
maybe even longer" before the fire was out
"I am thinking of those affected and of their loved ones..
thank you to the firefighters and emergency workers," President Emmanuel Macron wrote on Twitter
Five people were injured in neighbouring buildings which were damaged by the collapse
and 33 were taken into care by emergency responders
It is unclear how many people were inside the fallen block – believed to have one apartment on each floor – at the time of the collapse
"Not all the people who were supposedly inside the building have been seen
families are worried," Housing Minister Olivier Klein told broadcaster Franceinfo

NICOLAS TUCAT / AFP The intense heat as the building burns has kept search dog teams from picking through the rubble
The streets around the collapsed building were cordoned off and choked with dust
Firefighters could be seen attempting to work their way through the building debris
"We are trying to speed up the (search and rescue operations) because time is of essence," said the commander of the Marseille marine firefighters
Rescuers' task has been complicated by the partial collapse of one of the adjoining buildings
where eight people had to be brought down by ladder after taking refuge on a roof terrace
Other buildings on the street were evacuated and their residents put up in schools
while an aid centre for people looking for missing family members or loved ones has been opened in a neighbouring district
"We have to be very cautious about what the cause was at this stage," said Christophe Mirmand
A late-night food vendor working on the street said "everything shook" during what sounded like an explosion
"We saw people running and there was smoke everywhere," said Aziz
who lives on a side street near the fallen building
told AFP the sound of the crash "was huge"
"It sounded like an explosion," said Gilles
Eight were killed in Marseille in 2018 when two dilapidated buildings in the working-class district of Noailles caved in
The accident cast a harsh light on the city's housing standards
