Speedo ditches Olympic champion for attending Putin rally

Olympic champion Evgeny Rylov has lost a speedo deal after attending a rally in Moscow hosted by Putin

 

As the war in Ukraine continues, Russian athletes are being dropped from their respective sports. Some are banned for simply being Russian but others are dropped because they outrightly support Vladimir Putin.

Prominent Swimwear brand Speedo has immediately terminated its sponsorship deal with 25-year-old Evgeny Rylov, a two-time Olympic gold medalist.


According to a Russian Newspaper, Novaya Gazeta, Rylov stood alongside seven other Russian athletes to commemorate Russia’s annexation of Crimea.

In February and March 2014, Russia invaded and annexed the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine. The invasion took place in the aftermath of the Revolution of Dignity and is part of the wider Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

This day is seen as illegal by the Ukrainian Government and condemned by the west.

Speedo says they stand in solidarity with Ukraine and will not support Russian agression.

The prominent brand says further sponsorship fees will be given to the UN commissioner for refugees.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.


In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
