Linares: With a positive balance, the National Ranking Open Stage 4 of Archery ended
– It was organized by the Quasar club and the Chilean Federation of the specialty
There were more than 104 competitors who gathered in Linares to seek tickets to the final championship to be held in the month of November in the city of eternal spring. Despite not being such a popular sporting discipline, the people of Linares enjoyed the tournament intensely.
Soledad Rojas Abraham, the coach of the Quasar Linares club, made an assessment of this sports festival that took place on the main court of Tucapel Bustamante Lastra: “we have had glowing comments, it was a very orderly tournament, the times were met and everything was within the margins. Happy for the participants who obtained tickets for the national one. Our credits were quite good with Bernardita Biava Rojas and Agustín Infante Pérez, in addition to other athletes who remain to be confirmed where we should review the scores. Personally, I am very satisfied and waiting for events of this level not only once a year but at least twice. We thank the authorities and the media who have supported us in the success of this stage.”

She was very calm, as is her style. We are talking about Bernardita Biava, one of the great exponents of Linares in the specialty of archery, in the compound modality, who said: “this stage was a complete success with the best athletes who arrived, in a very friendly atmosphere, with a competition high level that was held here in Linares, where the competitors also supported tourism and the city’s economy. Very happy because thanks to the presentation I made I will be in the national competition to be held in November, in my specialty compound bow. People were able to observe in action great exponents of archery such as Andrés Aguilar and Andrés Gallardo who went to the recent Olympic Games in Paris.” READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

In American football, the halftime show has long been part of the event. Appearances during the break have not been an issue in football so far – but that will change at the next World Cup.
Anyone who goes to the toilet or refills chips during half-time at the next World Cup final will miss something: As the world football association Fifa announces, from the next World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico there will be a half-time show in the final. What exactly the association is planning is still very vaguely worded in the announcement. FIFA is probably planning a musical performance modeled on the Superbowl in American football: This so-called half time show is probably the biggest stage that musicians have had so far. In recent years, megastars such as Coldplay, Rihanna and Bruno Mars have appeared at halftime.
FIFA wants to organize a halftime show together with an aid organization
Global Citizen acts as co-organizer. The aid organization is committed to combating extreme poverty around the world. “FIFA has made it its mission to promote football in all countries of the world and thereby have a positive influence on society,” explains the controversial FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
Through this partnership, FIFA, together with Global Citizen, will unite the world of sports and entertainment to actively contribute to a better world. “We are committed to a series of joint actions that promote access to the game and encourage fans to advocate for positive change in their local communities,” Infantino continued. However, the association leaves it open exactly how a halftime show during the World Cup final should support Global Citizen or combat poverty in the world.

“Eventization” of football is met with rejection in Germany
If FIFA presents an act as big as the NFL at the Superbowl, the football halftime show would actually immediately be in the same league as its US counterparts. In the USA, the show is one of the absolute highlights of the football final. It remains to be seen whether such a show will be received so positively by football fans who are more used to a simpler presentation of their sport.
In Europe and especially in Germany, the organized fan scene is extremely critical of the additional commercialization and “eventization” of sport. A resonant example is Helene Fischer’s act before the 2017 DFB Cup final. The artist was booed so mercilessly and loudly during her short appearance that her singing on the television was difficult to understand at times.
Difficult to find two courses as dissimilar as those of Ugo Humbert and Arthur Fils at the ATP 500 in Tokyo, but the rectilinear trajectory of the first will still cross the fractured line of the second, in the final, this Tuesday. Despite losing his first set of the week, Humbert (19th in the world) qualified without too much difficulty by beating Tomas Machac (54th) 6-3, 3-6, 6-2. After having fought like a madman to eliminate Taylor Fritz and especially Ben Shelton, Son went through two tie-breaks with forceps to subdue Holger Rune. One wanders, the other suffers, but we will be treated to a happy ending. Even with a seven-hour time difference with France, this is a pleasure that we won’t shy away from.
