Russia will fight so all decisions would be fairly made on the participation of Russian athletes in Olympics, said Putin during his annual live Q-and-A session with the Russian public, reports Xinhua. “Russian sports ministry, our sports organisations are working with international lawyers to assess all aspects of this problem,” Putin said. The president said it is necessary to improve joint work with international sports organisations so as to react to their demands on time and in a better way....

Putin was quoted by Interfax, an independent Russian news agency, as saying the Russian vaccines “are very modern and without a doubt the most reliable and the safest today.” “As one European expert said, they’re reliable as a Kalashnikov assault rifle. I think he’s certainly right,” the president added. The Kalashnikov rifle, also known as an AK-47, was developed in the Soviet Union in the aftermath of World War II and remains one of the most widely used rifles around the world because of its reliability under harsh conditions, as well as its relatively low production costs....

Now, a pair of international martial arts groups are going after Putin’s status in the realms of taekwondo and judo. Today, World Taekwondo—labeled as the International Federation that governs the sport and is a member of the Association of Summer Olympic International Federations and International Paralympic Committee—announced it had revoked Putin’s honorary 9th dan black belt that was given to him in November 2013. “World Taekwondo strongly condemns the brutal attacks on innocent lives in Ukraine, which go against the World Taekwondo vision of ‘Peace is More Precious than Triumph’ and the World Taekwondo values of respect and tolerance....

Earlier this month, the U.S. officially pulled out the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, which banned ground-launched missiles with a range of between 300 and 3,400 miles. Both sides blamed each other for its demise. Washington claimed Moscow violated the agreement for years by developing the land-based cruise missile, the Novator 9M729. Russia meanwhile insisted the U.S. broke the treaty with its European-based ground launchers it claimed could fire Tomahawk cruise missiles....

Ambassador Vadym Prystaiko—who formerly served as ambassador to Canada and NATO, as well as Ukraine’s foreign minister—told Newsweek in an interview at the embassy in London that Putin is resolute in his desire to subjugate Ukraine “He just doesn’t want us to exist,” Prystaiko said. “He wants one thing: Ukraine to cease existing. You can’t give it to him. You can’t go half way.” Months of tensions along Ukraine’s borders have settled into a high-stakes face-off....

Miller addressed his injury on a recent episode of “The VonCast.” He said that he was lucky to avoid damage to his ACL and is hopeful he can return in short order. “I do have some lateral meniscus damage and it’s going to have to be addressed,” Miller said, as transcribed by ESPN. “But I do feel like I can, you know, play through that, so I’m just going to wait a little bit, and let the swelling go down for about seven to 10 days and, hopefully, right before the Jets game I will be back....

Turnout was higher overall in every state except for Oklahoma, but the percentage of voters who were 17 to 29 years old was lower than in 2016. Senator Bernie Sanders does particularly well with younger voters, and the lack of turnout for the group likely contributed to his underwhelming results. Conversely, younger voters are the group who favor Biden the least. In some states narrowly won by Biden, youth turnout decreased from when Sanders faced former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton four years earlier, according to exit polls....

The video was reposted to the Reddit forum “Public Freakout” on Thursday by Redditor u/Dr_Zol_Epstein_III. Already, the post has received more than 12,000 votes and over 3,200 comments. “My girl here wants me to come out of the elevator so she can come out of the elevator,” said the woman recording the video. The woman, a delivery driver, is standing near the elevator door while a red-haired woman stands in the opposite corner....

The Tiktoker, who goes by the username babyzeusdope on TikTok and Yasmyne Chanel on Instagram, filmed an employee who had her back turned as she was chewing before walking away. Chanel has since been banned due to multiple community guidelines violations, according to TikTok, but her videos are still on her profile. “Imagine picking up your food and seeing a worker EATING over your food,” the text over the video read....

The clip showed police entering the room after knocking down a barricade, sparking a wave of comments berating its effectiveness. It makes the video just the most recent TikTok post to document the experience of a student during a school shooting, just a week after a Texas student went viral for her video of a shooting. Posted four days ago, the video was shared by Tito Moto, who claimed it was taken by his nephew....

A viral TikTok video uploaded by user courtneygovan shows her reaction as a Starbucks she’s at is playing the Animal Crossing version of “Mr. Brightside” by The Killers. This version, allegedly performed by traveling Animal Crossing musician KK Slider, appears to be the one uploaded by YouTuber Clay Kramer, whose channel is full of KK Slider covers of various other songs besides just “Mr. Brightside” by The Killers.

GKNOVA 6 had previously shown the standard battle footage you’d expect from Call of Duty, but now the eight monitors are running video of zombies spliced in with stock footage of what appears to be human radiation testing. Could this be a hint at how the undead came to be in this cold war world? Also as a side note, there appear to be both the George A. Romero style zombies (slow and scuffling) as well as the Zach Snyder flavor (fast and sprinting)....

Speaking to reporters later, the Kings XI Punjab batsman was quoted by NDTV India as saying: “My son’s friends were teasing him about his father not scoring runs and I told him, hold on beta, there is still time. During the last couple of games I wanted to focus on my batting and had to win at least one game for Kings XI Punjab.” “Whenever I went there to bat, and got out early, I got a call from my wife,” he continued....

India exited the competition after losing to Sri Lanka in the semi-finals where the Indian bowlers were hammered all over the ground. But prior to the Sri Lanka game, Prasad had picked up match-winning figures of 3/45 in his 10 overs against Pakistan in the quarterfinals. Perhaps his best scalp that day was opener Aamir Sohail whom he castled after the former had carted him to the ropes and gestured him to go and pick the ball....

The Hokies announced on Sunday that Mike Young has been hired as their new head coach. Young had previously held the same position at Wofford, where he led the Terriers to a 30-5 record and an undefeated mark in conference play that led to a trip to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. As a result, he was named Sporting News Coach of the Year. “Coach Young has earned tremendous respect and admiration across the nation for the integrity and winning tradition that were trademarks of his program at Wofford,” Virginia Tech athletic director Whit Babcock said....

According to the conference’s statement, the “decision was made following communication between the Atlantic Coast Conference, Virginia and Virginia Tech athletic department administration.” It is the second matchup that has been called off for the Cavaliers in the aftermath of the campus shooting on Nov. 13. Virginia did not play its Week 12 contest against Coastal Carolina last week. The shooting resulted in the deaths of UVa football players D’Sean Perry, Lavel Davis Jr....

But, with the introduction of Battlefield Hardline on Tuesday morning came a new hope for the franchise. Now that Visceral Games is in charge of developing their own Battlefield iteration, the assumption is that the developer will bring its strengths in the single player space to EA and DICE’s flagship franchise. Visceral Games’ VP and General Manager Steve Papoutsis further echoed that sentiment in the official announcement post for Battlefield Hardline....

Lucas Piazon scored two times in the first half, both times from the penalty-spot, Sunday. In the second half Gael Kakuta added the third goal, reports Xinhua. The first penalty was given after a foul by Deniz Turuc, who received a red card, on Mike Havenaar and the second for a handball by Jop Van der Linden. Among other Sunday’s matches, FC Groningen drew 0-0 against PEC Zwolle while FC Twente beat NAC Breda 5-2 at home....
