After cardboard, both vehicles left the track and hit containment barriers, the Finn being the most damaged.

After the accident, the Mercedes man approached Russell’s car to ironically touch him on the shoulder for a “job well done.” At the same time, the Brit raised his middle finger.

Already in the pits, the dispute between the two drivers became verbal. “From the repetitions I saw, I always left room for two cars to pass. It was clearly his mistake. So I was not happy with it. But it is what it is ”, assured Bottas.

Russell, for his part, pointed out the wetness of the track and criticized Mercedes. “In completely dry conditions it would have been fine, but he put me in the wet sector and I lost it. I asked him if he was trying to kill us both. We’re going incredibly fast. We know the conditions “, indicated the Williams pilot.

This was the accident between Bottas and Russell that triggered the red flag neutralizing the race.# F1 #ImolaGPpic.twitter.com/PAxB997RlZ

The threat of the imminent announcement of a closed Super League led by some of the big European clubs and outside of UEFA has unleashed a war that can cause a drastic change in competitions and in the football industry as they are known. The battle has begun just a few hours after the Executive Committee of the body that governs European football presents its new Champions model this Monday, with more games and more clashes between the greats, but insufficient for the clubs that intend to found the Super League, it would be practically closed.

Real Madrid, with Florentino Pérez at the helm and declared enemy of UEFA president Alexander Ceferin, Manchester United, Barcelona, ​​Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham no longer hide that they are determined to break the deck . Sources close to the promoters of the project assure that Juventus is also on board, but its president, Andrea Agnelli, is forced to speak as president of the European Club Association (ECA), integrated into UEFA and representing dozens of clubs that oppose the project. According to sources from Paris Saint Germain, the Qatari capital club is not immersed in the plan. Manchester City and the big German clubs are out for the moment. Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Atlético de Madrid have not commented, but sources with direct knowledge of the project include them. Milan and Inter would also be in the game.

According to the information received by some Spanish clubs and high levels of national sport, the Superliga would have 15 founding clubs that would never be relegated and five that would qualify each year. The 20 teams would be divided into two groups of 10, with round-trip matches. The first four of each group would go to the round-trip knockout system from the quarterfinals. In total, 193 matches for the 125 of the current Champions League, although in the project that UEFA will present this Monday to fight the Super League, 225 are contemplated.

The organizational design of the Super League contemplates the creation of a corporation founded in Spain (SLCo) owned equally by the 15 founders and on which two subsidiary companies would depend. One, also created on Spanish soil (SL SportsCo), dedicated to the management of the competition, and another in the Netherlands (SL MediaCo) for the sale of television rights. The television revenue that the disruptive competition would generate is estimated at around 4,000 million euros. The aforementioned amount would be distributed in 65% for the founding clubs, another 20% for sporting merits in the competition and 15% for commercial distribution. At a minimum, the Super League clubs would earn about 60 million for participating and the winner would receive just over 250 million euros, more than double what the winner of the current Champions League collects. Behind the financing would be the investor Key Capital. According to several Italian media, the DAZN platform would be the buyer of the television rights.

Faced with this order, UEFA reacted yesterday with a forceful statement, backed by the major leagues and federations, and dismissed the groundbreaking project as “unsupportive” and “cynical.” “The clubs in question will not be able to play in any other competition at national, European or world level, and their players could be deprived of the opportunity to represent their national teams,” the statement said. UEFA also issued a general alarm call. “We call on all football lovers, supporters and politicians, to join us in the fight against this project if it is announced,” the letter concluded.

These threats, however, have not daunted the promoters of the Super League, who doubt that UEFA or FIFA will organize the European Cups or the World Cups without the stars of the clubs. The highest body of world football did not pronounce this Sunday when considering that it already did so at the time, which led Javier Tebas, president of LaLiga, to declare in an interview with AFP that Gianni Infantino, the highest president of world football, supports the Super League.

The adult national table tennis team that was active in the Pan-American qualifier for the Tokyo Olympics in Rosario, Argentina, will return this Sunday night safe and sound.

Brian Afanador and Melanie Díaz will arrive home with a ticket to the Olympics in the individual event, while Daniel González will return with the intact dream of one day qualifying for the Olympic tournament. The tenimist star Adriana Díaz will return without having played.

Afanador and Adriana Díaz – who already has their classification assured in singles – could not demonstrate their position of number one in Latin America in mixed doubles after the Puerto Rican Federation of Table Tennis (FPTM) removed them from the event due to prevention of contagion by covid- 19 that were detected in the competition.

“They are well. They did some PCR (molecular) tests and they came out well ”, expressed the president of the FPTM, Iván Santos, to THE SPOKESMAN.

Santos reaffirmed that the decision to withdraw Afanador and Adriana Díaz from the mixed doubles event was the correct one.

The decision came after Bladimir Díaz – Melanie and Adriana’s father and coach – learned that two athletes, a coach and a member of the tournament organization tested positive for coronavirus during a monitoring PCR test carried out during the competition.

“Definitive. Health goes above any consideration, ”said Santos, who criticized the way the tournament organizers handled positive cases amid a spike in infections in Argentina.

In fact, Santos said that no one officially contacted Bladimir to inform him about the infections. “Bladimir found out through the athletes until (the organizers) said yes (that there were positive cases),” said the manager.

The decision to continue with the mixed doubles event was endorsed by a member of the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF, for its acronym in English), as detailed by Santos, who will leave the federative position in writing so that “it serves for a future”.

The mixed doubles event will debut at the Tokyo Olympics. The Cuban duo of Jorge Campos and Daniela Fonseca struck out the only available ticket in Latin America, beating Juan Lamadrid and Paulina Vega, from Chile, 4-2.

Now all efforts will be directed to the final preparation for the Olympics.

“I have to sit down with Bladimir and Eladio (Afanador) because there are not many events or many options. You have to find where they are going to train. If they are going to train here or what kind of event is there, be extremely safe. Because in Europe itself there are no events. You have to find a place where you can and that there is a level to prepare for the Games, “said Santos.
