Japanese track cyclist Kaiya Ota made a controversial exit from the Paris Olympic men's sprint competition Thursday as he lost a hot-tempered quarterfinal battle to Britain's Jack Carlin
The pair bumped helmets and traded elbows during a best-of-three contest ultimately won by Carlin after judges overturned a race result that would have eliminated the Tokyo Olympic bronze medalist
Ota took the opening encounter by 0.046 seconds before also beating Carlin over the line in the second race
sparking victory celebrations from the Japanese rider and his supporters at the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines Velodrome
with officials handing the race to Carlin and leaving the riders deadlocked at one win apiece after determining Ota had illegally crossed into the lower sprinter's lane
The two were shoulder-to-shoulder over the final 250 meters of the deciding race
this time with Carlin appearing to veer out of the sprinter's lane on his way to beating Ota by 0.014
but the judges once again came down on the side of the Scottish rider
allowing him to take his place in Friday's semifinals
"I thought I could get to the medal rounds
but through my own naivety I didn't make it
"The judges look at the details and decide
but I think I was relegated for getting too close to my opponent."
Japan head sprint coach Jason Niblett said Ota
who transitioned from keirin to match sprinting roughly two years ago
had been drawn into a tactical battle by the experienced Carlin that left him at the mercy of the judges
I'm not in the position to have to fight with judges but the ruling is the ruling," the former Australian national team cyclist said
was knocked out 2-0 in his sprint quarterfinal against Australian Matthew Richardson
Japanese medal hope Mina Sato earlier made a surprise exit from the women's keirin after finishing fifth in her quarterfinal heat
the 2021 and 2022 world championship silver medalist needed to finish in the top four of the heat to advance but could not close the gap with her final push from the outside
Compatriot Riyu Ota finished ninth overall after going through to the semis but failing to reach the six-woman final won by New Zealand's Ellesse Andrews

Paris Saint-Germain has become one of the top forces in European football
the club has gone from a relatively humble beginning to a global superpower
home to some of the world’s biggest stars
However, even with the funding of the Qatari state, they have reached these heights with a comparatively small stadium. The Parc des Princes’s 48,000 capacity is less than the likes of 1. FC Kaiserslautern, Athletic Bilbao and even Ligue 1 rivals Lille OSC
It's no surprise to hear the news that the Paris club is now looking to leave the Parc des Princes
Read on to find out what they plan to do next
December 2024: PSG are currently evaluating three potential sites for its new home
but it faces challenges with fan management
The regional mayor has given PSG a deadline of the end of 2024 to reach a decision on this move: “The discussions are on standby,” indicating limited progress on PSG's part
Although it is 18 miles from Parc des Princes
it is only 2.5 miles from PSG's training facility in Yvelines
a club of its size cannot rely on renting a stadium for the long term
and the owners are keen to get the club into its own dedicated stadium sooner rather than later
the three sites all look a long way off from becoming PSG's new home
and much of the talk could all just be the club posturing to try and pressure the local government to sell them the Parc des Princes
the Parc des Princes is owned by the Council of Paris
This has posed a serious problem for PSG's previous plan to renovate the stadium
has said it will not commit to upgrading the stadium until it owns it
This meant that a deal with the mayor of Paris
Dealings with Hidalgo over the stadium have been very tricky in the past
with the mayor telling Le Parisien in January of this year that “We have a very clear position
It is an exceptional heritage for Parisians.”
Relations with the club have since become strained
with a PSG spokesperson responding: “It is surprising and disappointing to hear that the mayor of Paris is taking a position which
our fans and communities away from the Parc des Princes; while also – quite remarkably – adding tens of millions of Euros to the taxpayer burden to maintain the structure of the building
which is now 50 years old and in need of renovation.”
PSG have become tired of the ongoing stalemate
and are now putting plans in place to leave the Parc des Princes
Their aim is to find a new stadium as soon as possible
told the UEFA Congress on 8 February that “It's over
We've wasted years trying to buy it.”
It was previously reported by France24 in March of last year that
due to these difficulties in purchasing the Parc des Princes
PSG had explored submitting a bid for the Stade de France
the 80,000-seater home of the French national team
The lease for the stadium is held by a consortium of French companies
The quoted price for a sale is around €600 million
The club have also looked into building an entirely new stadium in Poissy
a small town in Paris’ suburbs where the club is already building a new training ground
now that PSG have set their sights on leaving the Parc des Princes
the most recent report in 90min suggest the club are looking at three options for stadiums to move to
The most likely option is the nearby Stade Jean-Bouin
the stadium is also owned by the City of Paris but it is suggested that they would be much more open to selling the stadium than they are the Parc des Princes
The ground is already the home of Paris Saint-Germain Feminine
as well as various rugby and American football games
It is understood that the other sports may be able to take place at the Parc des Princes
Another option is the Stade Sebastien Charlety
The stadium also has a capacity of 20,000 and is also owned by the City of Paris
this would be an extremely controversial move as it would likely lead to Paris FC needing to find a new home
The third option is the Paris La Defense Arena
the largest of the three stadiums at 30,000
but may not be for much longer – the rugby side are reportedly looking to return to their old stadium
PSG had considered building their training complex at La Defense before they opted for Poissy instead
Despite Hidalgo’s claims that the stadium was not for sale
in April PSG submitted a bid of €38 million for the stadium
Hidalgo called this bid “ridiculous”
even reminding QSI that business in France is done to differently to what they might be used to in Qatar
“It may be a bluff or a misunderstanding about what our democratic rules are
We are in a country where the rule of law works
the French government estimated the value of the Stade de France at €647 million in 2021
1897: The first Parc des Princes opens with a capacity of around 10,000
1932: The Parc des Princes is rebuilt with a capacity of 45,000
The capacity is reduced to 38,000 to allow fans more space
It quickly gains a reputation in France as a “caisse de résonnance” or “box of sound” for its intense atmosphere and proximity of the supporters to the pitch
France play the USSR in the inaugural match at the new ground
1973: PSG play their first game at the Parc des Princes
1974: Following PSG’s promotion to Ligue 1 and Paris F.C.’s demotion to the second tier
PSG move into the Parc des Princes full time
1984: France beat Spain at the Parc des Princes in the final of EURO 1984
and replaces the Parc des Princes as the home of Les Bleus
2013: PSG agree a deal with the Paris City Council to extend their lease of the stadium until 2043
€75 million upgrade of the Parc des Princes is completed ahead of EURO 2016
The Parc des Princes currently holds 48,000 supporters
A renovated Parc des Princes would have been able to host 60,000

Emma Finucane on Monday spearheaded Britain to the first track cycling gold of the Paris Olympics in the women’s team sprint
with the world record shattered five times in the session
Sophie Capewell and Katy Marchant surged around the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines velodrome in a new world best of 45.186 seconds to beat New Zealand
It was the first gold for Britain since the event was added to the Olympic program at London in 2012
with the win capping an extraordinary day that saw the world record repeatedly lowered
Britain first smashed China’s old mark in qualifying
but it fell again to Germany in round one and minutes later New Zealand toppled it once more
before Britain reclaimed the mark when they clocked 45.338 seconds
Britain again blazed to a new world best in the final showdown against New Zealand
with a composed Finucane riding a storming last lap to make history
Finucane is the new face of British cycling after bursting on the scene by winning the sprint world title last year in Glasgow
“We nailed that final and I believed in us before we went up to do it
lap two and lap three pretty much perfectly and then to cross the line first
“It’s just a dream come true and to have these two by my side is unreal.”
Two-time defending champions China finished sixth
It is the first time at an Olympics that the women’s sprint has featured three riders
working together to post the fastest time over three laps (750m)
Defending gold medalists and world champions the Netherlands were fastest through the men’s team sprint qualifying in an Olympic record 41.279 seconds
Led by Harrie Lavreysen and Jeffrey Hoogland
Australia set the pace in the men’s team pursuit qualifying with Oliver Bleddyn
Conor Leahy and Kelland O’Brien edging Britain
42.958 seconds to go close to the world record Italy set when they won gold in Tokyo three years ago

PSG new stadium plans are in full swing as the club looks at three potential sights to replace the Parc des Princes
Since 1974, Paris Saint-Germain has played at the 48,229-capacity Parc des Princes stadium
the club's recent rise on the global football stage has caused its owners to consider potential new options
the club is eying up three locations in Paris: Saint-Cloud (3 miles away)
this could be posturing to convince the city government to let them buy the stadium
PSG is a club that is still very much on the rise, despite recently losing Kylian Mbappe to Read Madrid
The club has dominated France but still needs to turn that success into glory in Europe
Club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has insisted that his side are currently behind rival sides
he said; “All the other European clubs have constructed bigger
We are behind everyone.” The news is fresh off the back of news that the Paris City Council will not let PSG purchase the Parc des Princes stadium
“It is the city that has already decided that for us
They won't let PSG buy the Parc des Princes
and while work was done to improve it ahead of the Paris Olympics
and increasing capacity is a great way to do that
We need to for Financial Fair Play.”
three potential sites have been put forward
The closest of the three at just three miles away
but at 15 miles away from the current home
The mayor of the region has given PSG until the end of 2024 to come to a decision on the move; “The discussions are on standby“
which doesn't paint a great picture of the progress being made by PSG
Poissy is located in the Western suburb of Paris
the location is only 2.5 miles away from the PSG training facility in Yvelines
a club of the size of PSG surely cannot rely on renting a stadium for the long term
with the owners surely keen to get the club into its own dedicated stadium sooner rather than later
FootballGroundGuide » Latest Football Stadium and Fan News » PSG new stadium: Club needs ‘truly great stadium’ to compete at European level
Paris Saint-Germain have begun to explore alternative options to the Parc des Princes
in the case that they cannot buy the stadium from the city of Paris
and are considering a move outside of the city to a neighbouring community
The club have been heavily linked in the past year with a proposed attempt to purchase the Stade de France from the French government
as an alternative if they were not able to come to an agreement with the Paris city council over their current home
Al-Khelaïfi mentioned that there was a ‘dedicated team working on this project.’
The preference according to Le Parisien would be to negotiate a sale for the Parc des Prince. PSG would be inclined to remain in their historic home. However, this option appears to be increasingly unlikely with the city remaining steadfast against any sale to the club
This has led to PSG exploring options outside of the city
the club could consider a move to the new town of Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines just outside of Paris
the club have previously located a site within the new town
in the commune called Montigny-le-Bretonneux
This land had previously been studied in the past as an option for the new training centre
There has been no contact between PSG and the Montigny-le-Bretonneux town hall
the commune would be favourable to the club’s interests
stated to Le Parisien that it would be a ‘realistic option,’ as the area already has experience with sporting events
as the installation of the National Velodrome has seen the commune regularly host cycling championships
L’Équipe mention that the location of the commune is particularly favourable to PSG who wish to remain close to their historic home and to their training centre
and the fact that the area is served by a train station and a motorway would help ease some of the concerns over a move away from the city
There is a growing feeling with Montigny-le-Bretonneux that the ‘day Paris Saint-Germain have definitively slammed shut the door on Paris
this is not the only option that PSG have considered
each one is met with some resistance or difficulty that Montigny-le-Bretonneux does not appear to possess
PSG have looked at building a stadium next to their training centre in Poissey
own a considerable amount of land within the area
it is reported to be insufficient for the size of stadium that PSG require
while transport to the area also would be incapable of serving the needs of the club
An option that would keep the club within the city
was allegedly explored when the club considered buying land in the Saint-Cloud racecourse
made contact with the owners of the racecourse
France Galop was said to be interested in selling up to 75 hectares of the site to PSG
with the condition that the races were to be preserved
this option appears to have been scuppered
as the racecourse has been classified as a non-constructible zone
The final option appears to be to build a stadium by buying up the land of unoccupied offices
There are many such sites in Paris and this option would see the club remaining within the city

It’s the first bus line entirely operated by autonomous shuttles in the Île-de-France
a new bus line serving the suburban train station of Saint-Quentin-en- Yvelines-Montigny-le-Bretonneux and several local business parks in the Île-de-France Mobilités network enables passengers to reach their destination on autonomous electric shuttles
Following previous trials in La Défense and Vincennes
led in close collaboration with Saint- Quentin-en-Yvelines intercommunal district
is a new milestone in the development of autonomous shuttles as a mobility solution by Île-de-France Mobilités
the public transport authority for the Paris Île-de-France region
for the first time the autonomous shuttles operate alongside regular traffic and feature as a mobility solution in the Île-de-France Mobilités journey planner app
just like the other 1,500 bus lines in the Île-de-France network
With €2.4 million in funding from Île-de-France Mobilités
the service is free of charge for all passengers and operates Monday to Friday from 7.30 am to 8 pm
The choice of Keolis to run the first regular autonomous shuttle service on behalf of Île-de-France Mobilités reflects a commitment to delivering a quality of service in line with the level achieved on other bus lines in the region
The new line has been designed to complete the existing bus service by providing a last mile solution for the local employment area
a safety operator will be present at all times
The shuttles can navigate safely across busy junctions thanks to on-board V2X technology enabling the shuttles to communicate with traffic lights as well as a retractable bollard connected to the vehicle via a RFID device which is actioned automatically as the shuttle approaches
From 31 March 2021 to June 2022 (with a possible extension)
three Navya autonomous shuttles will run between the Pas-du-Lac business park in Montigny-le-Bretonneux and Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines / Montigny-le-Bretonneux train station
The shuttles will operate every eight minutes in rush hour and every 17 minutes at off-peak times
Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines intercommunal district
with the support of Montigny-le-Bretonneux
the Pas-du- Lac local co-ownership association (ASL) and Banque Populaire Val de France
are providing technical engineering expertise and in-depth knowledge of the region for the project
The district also made the necessary adjustments to enable the shuttles and their integrated technology to operate safely in high density traffic
Keolis uses a fleet management tool provided by VIA
a developer and provider of on-demand shared ride services
The system tracks the shuttles’ position remotely in real time
The role of the safety operator is also to welcome passengers on board the shuttles and answer their questions
passenger information will also be available on the Île-de-France Mobilités and Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines mobile apps and websites

there doesn't seem to be an immediate and self-evident link between architecture - intended as the representation of symbolic
but also forgotten places - and rap or trap music
the classic music videos of this genre were associated with only one type of imaginary
and which therefore focuses on the artists
less than three minutes that alone tell the London suburbs and the faces that populate it) as much as Italian
just think of the partnership between Francesco Lettieri and LIBERATO

nss magazine has reached out to Bianca Felicori to better understand what is the new bond that connects architecture and trap imagery.
Rap before and trap today are musical genres (and sub-genres) born as subcultures that today make up a universal language
the twelve-year-old on TikTok as much as the thirty-year-old freelancer who works as an art director
and we feed this economic and social system
All trap artists today have millions of views
I've been listening to rap since I was a teenager and at the time it was quite atypical
a city commonly recognized as the symbol of this culture
Over the years I have learned to combine my education as an architect with collateral passions
I began to investigate the most popular architectures that form the backdrop to the music videos of artists - emerging and non-Italian
Artists who have built an empire without forgetting where they come from
they go up on stage and show you where they have arrived
how much gold they wear around their neck after suffering the condition of isolation of the suburbs and of the province.

France By Manuel Nunez YanowskyLes Arenes de Picasso
I think this depends a lot on the image that the artists want to give of them and on how the director chooses to represent them
The peripheral context remains a constant leitmotiv even today because these places have always been the symbol of social redemption and the starting point for the rise of an artist
It's an Italian and European cultural appropriation born with hip hop in the USA.
The increase in their importance has also been accompanied by a growing commitment to research in the structuring of videos: storytelling
also and above all in the location scouting
directors have recently entered the architectural debate not only by choosing the suburbs as a context but also by enhancing the design components
Think of the video 9 MAGGIO by Liberato directed by Francesco Lettieri or Fuck Tomorrow (Rkomi x The Night Skinny) by Edoardo Carlo Bolli and Antonio Ragni.
there's another interesting trend to keep an eye on
namely directors who choose less known or even forgotten modern or contemporary architectures as locations
another theme that I have very much at heart
but I hope that in the near future it will be appreciated more and more
in all of his videos architecture plays a fundamental role
I'll just mention the short film of Mentre Nessuno Guarda
shot at Aldo Rossi's Parco Tecnologico in Fondo Toce.

is the desire to go beyond the clichés of Italian music videos to explore new themes
these directors work a lot on disciplinary confluences and this is what leads us to read their works as the result of applying a very specific methodology
we are used to receiving information in bursts every day
We don't even have time to metabolize them as we have already moved on to the next hot thing
Equally the problem with today's music is that you don't even have time to finish listening to a record that three more have come out
The world of music videos is closely related (obviously) to this mechanism and suffers from it in the same way
Directors need to leave something to the user who scrolls their Facebook home or jumps from link to link on Youtube
they work painstakingly on research before shooting
Looking for lesser-known architectures also means this: going beyond the research that others have already done
in addition to giving visibility to buildings often left behind
it allows us to deal with a world that has ideally always been considered far from our discipline.

but it takes much more to re-evaluate the suburbs
In recent years this passion for brutalism (an abused term) has spread and therefore everything that is exposed concrete is considered interesting also and above all by those who are not in the sector
This love for the "concrete" has also led to the re-evaluation
of the Italian and international popular contexts
So although the average user who watches a video may feel attracted to the peripheral context of Genoa
I'm quite sure that he would not experience the same sensations being on-site
also and above all because very often these buildings have not had the maintenance necessary to keep them alive and therefore they are in a state of decay
I started this research intrigued by the connection between the artists and their neighbourhoods of origin
as I went on I realized that my interest was practically centred only on the work of the directors
it's the natural evolution of a profession towards an upward path
I dream one day of seeing artists working more and more with architects

37 members of Wicklow Male Voice Choir will travel over to Eichenzell in Germany this June
alongside members of the Wicklow Twinning committee
and sought some financial aid from Wicklow Municipal District for the trip
Twinning arrangements between towns and areas in different countries help to develop a better understanding of other nationalities and cultures
and Wicklow town is twinned with Eichenzell
as well as Montigny-Le-Bretonneux in France and Montigny-Le-Bretonneux in France
At April’s monthly meeting of Wicklow Municipal District
the elected members were informed that up to 37 members of Wicklow Male Voice Choir will join the Wicklow Twinning Committee as they head over to Eichenzell from June 20 to June 22
While the choir will subsidise some of the costs
they still have their accommodation to pay for
The flight costs are exasperated by the large costs involved in flying all of their instruments over
while they are also required to bring two professionals along with them
The choir hasn’t made the trip over to Eichenzell since 2011 and in June are due to perform at an Irish night taking place at the cultural centre
They have also been invited to an official reception where they will be representing Wicklow
Everyone knows how positively I feel about twinning
It opens up so many doors to different local community groups
It’s a coming together pf peoples from different countries
I have to say Eichenzell give a lot back to us in Wicklow as well
I know there is a delegation from Eichenzell who are meant to be coming over to Wicklow for the regatta and Taste of Wicklow
so if we had any funds in the twinning budget to assist the male voice choir
Cllr John Snell commented: “The choir mainly consists of senior citizens who have contributed a life-time to doing their best and what is right
It’s not just Wicklow town they will be representing
It was agreed to provide the choir with €2,000 from the twinning budget to assist with the costs of the trip
Faute d'accord avec la mairie de Paris pour racheter le Parc des Princes
le PSG envisage de construire un nouveau stade flambant neuf ailleurs en Île-de-France et creuse depuis plusieurs mois différentes pistes
L'une d'elles mène à l’île de loisirs de Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines à Montigny-le-Bretonneux (Yvelines)
SQY, « le meilleur endroit pour accueillir le futur stade du #PSG ? » https://t.co/36RGgZe8YS
« S’il venait à se concrétiser
ce projet porterait une atteinte considérable aux équilibres écologiques et économiques fragiles de notre territoire
Ce serait ainsi pas moins de 50 hectares de terres naturelles
espaces aujourd’hui utilisés pour l’agriculture locale (…)
tout près d’une zone classée Natura 2000 abritant de nombreuses espèces protégées qui seraient sacrifiées au béton et au bitume »
écrivaient ainsien janvier 2024 les maires de Coignières (Didier Ficher
Génération.s) dans des propos rapportés par 78actu.fr
Un an plus tard, Montigny-le-Bretonneux est toujours considéré comme une piste crédible pour le projet de futur stade du PSG
le terrain visé appartenant à la région Île-de-France
qui a voté en septembre dernier une mise à disposition d’un terrain de 50 ha pour le projet du PSG
Si ce projet est aussi soutenu avec ardeur par Jean-Michel Fourgous
président de l’agglomération de Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines
il fait aussi face à une réelle opposition des associations environnementales locales
Le Collectif pour la transition écologique et citoyenne de SQY (CTECSQY) a ainsi lancé une pétition en ligne pour s'opposer au projet de construction du stade du PSG sur l'espace vert de l'Île de loisirs de Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines
Une pétition qui a déjà réuni 10 481 signatures et qui pointe trois grandes limites à ce projet
« Difficile d’imaginer les oiseaux ne pas être perturbés par les flux de visiteurs dont certains viendront en voitures
les éventuels feux d’artifice
les jeux de lumière et le bruit les soirs de match ou durant je ne sais quel show »
membre de l’association SQY en Transition
Cette dernière estime que « ça aurait plus de sens de choisir une friche industrielle ou une zone marquée par une activité commerciale
Alors que la piste Ris-Orangis a fait beaucoup parler d'elle la semaine passée
celle menant à Montigny-le-Bretonneux semble avoir du plomb dans l'aile et fait face à une réelle opposition qui pourrait potentiellement retarder considérablement le projet du PSG
