Biles wins 21st world title with all around gold
US superstar Simone Biles continued her spectacular return from a two-year break by claiming a 21st world title with gold in the women's all-around at the world gymnastics championships on Friday. Biles dominated the final in Antwerp where she also won her first world title a decade ago, taking gold with a score of 58.399 points ahead of defending champion Rebeca Andrade of Brazil (56.766), with American teammate Shilese Jones taking bronze (56.332). Biles, 26, also took team gold with the United States on Wednesday, less than 10 months ahead of the Paris Olympics. Her sixth world all-around triumph also gives Biles her 27th world medal. She could extend that tally as she is still in the running for four other podiums in the apparatus finals at the weekend. The Texan has made an impressive comeback, two years after the Tokyo Olympics. Arriving in Japan as the big favourite thanks to her four gold medals won five years earlier in Rio de Janeiro, Biles broke down and withdrew from four of the five finals. She explained that she was fighting against the "twisties", a temporary mental block whereby gymnasts lose their sense of where they are in the air, with the risk of injury when they land. dif/ea/jc © 1994-2023 Agence France-Presse The post Biles wins 21st world title with all around gold appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»

Phl urges: Intensify fight vs climate change
The Philippines recently urged the global community to enforce immediate and concrete actions amid the worsening impacts of climate change. Speaking at the 58th Session of the Subsidiary Bodie of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, Climate Change Commission vice chairperson and executive director Robert E.A. Borje stressed the need to translate the decisions of the 27th Session of Conference of the Parties or COP27 into tangible outcomes which is responsive to the needs of vulnerable developing nations. “As we build on the progress Parties made in Sharm El-Sheikh, we believe in the real possibility that we will be able to transform COP27 decisions into actions with outputs and outcomes that are concrete, relevant, appropriate, responsive to the vulnerable, developing nations’ needs and priorities, and based on best available science and evidence,” Borje said. Borje also raised the alarming effects of climate change in the Philippines and its nearby countries in the Association of the Southeast Asian Nations over the past decade. He lamented that the Philippines suffered loss and damage amounting to US$12 billion — equivalent to a doubled national budget for crucial health services. Within the Southeast Asian region, the Philippines, Myanmar, Vietnam and Thailand emerged as four of the 10 most vulnerable countries to climate change and disasters — making almost 50 percent of the ASEAN population exposed to hazardous impacts of calamities. Moreover, the ASEAN region endured economic and human losses of US$97.3 billion, nearly matching the global commitment of US$100 billion by Annex I or industrialized countries for the same period, 2009 to 2020, to support vulnerable developing nations. The Climate Vulnerable Forum and V20 Group of Finance Ministers reported a staggering $525 billion worth of loss and damage to 58 vulnerable ASEAN members over the past two decades. “These numbers manifest in no uncertain terms, that in the face of worsening climate change, it is our lives, our livelihood, and our collective future at stake,” Borje said, adding that climate change would really affect people’s livelihood and future living conditions. Borje also shared how the Philippine government prioritized climate change as a critical national concern as the country wants to become climate resilient and put a premium on its accelerated climate action under the country’s development agenda. The Philippines allocated US$8.2 billion or 9 percent of its total national budget for climate change adaptation and mitigation programs this year. Borje underscored the importance of inclusive participation among stakeholders in developing holistic and multidimensional climate solutions. “There’s a need to translate dialogues into actions with concrete, relevant, and appropriate outputs and outcomes as the world is raising time to mitigate the impacts of climate change with only seven critical years remaining until 2030,” Borje said. “It is time to act on our commitments and deliver what we said we will do — with the highest speed and on the largest scale possible,” he added. “This is no longer the time to explore. Now is the time to ensure that we implement and deploy the most appropriate measures so that we no longer need to grieve, but survive and thrive with higher levels of adaptive capacities and climate resilience.” Borje rallied the global community to work harder and “save lives, protect livelihoods, and secure a safe, resilient, and sustainable future for all.” The Philippines was earlier tasked to co-facilitate the pre-COP27 meeting with Poland, tackling climate finance on 13 October in Kinshasa, the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Following this event, Borje attended the SB58 in Bonn, Germany from 5 to 15 June 2023, for representing the Philippines in discussions on critical issues related to climate change—which will provide a crucial platform for dialogue and negotiation leading up to COP28 in Dubai, UAE this coming November.

Everest guide makes record 28th summit
A Nepali guide of climbers to Mount Everest has set a new record for the most summits to the world’s highest peak. Kami Rita Sherpa’s 28th summit on Tuesday broke his own record made the previous day after it was equalized by a compatriot. Thaneshwor Guragain of Rita’s expedition organizer Seven Summit Treks told Agence France-Presse of his summit a day after Pasang Dawa Sherpa, 46, made his own 27th summit of the 8,849-meter mountain. A guide for more than two decades and known as the “Everest Man,” Kami Rita Sherpa, 53, first summited Everest in 1994 when he was working for a commercial expedition. Since then, he has climbed Everest almost every year, several times leading the first rope-fixing team to open the route to the world’s highest point. Nepal is home to eight of the world’s 10 highest peaks and welcomes hundreds of adventurers each spring, when temperatures are mild and Himalayan winds are typically calm. Nepal has issued 478 permits for Everest to foreign climbers this season, which runs until early June. Since most need a guide, more than 900 people in total were expected to attempt a summit. Nepali guides, usually ethnic Sherpas from the valleys around Everest, are considered the backbone of the industry and bear huge risks to carry equipment and food, fix ropes and repair ladders. More than 500 climbers have already scaled Everest, according to Nepal’s Department of Tourism. Every season people die in the attempt and already this season 10 climbers, including four Nepali guides, have lost their lives on Everest.
