Le Rwandais Joseph Aréruya (La Team Pédale Pilotine Blue Car) a remporté la 1ère étape du 41 ème Tour Cycliste de la Martinique. Il devance de 58 secondes l’Estonien Gert Kivitski (la Team Crédit-Mutuel Garage Premier) et le Martiniquais Edwin Nubul (VCF). Jean-Eric Habimana (La Team Pédale Pilotine Bleue Car) termine en 4 position. 

Sept coureurs ont animé cette première étape du 41ème Tour Cycliste de la Martinique.

Partis de Sainte-Luce à 10h, Kilian Alger (JC231), Gert Kivistik (la Team Crédit-Mutuel Garage Premier), Joseph Aréruya (TPPBC) et Jean-Eric Habimana (TPPBC), Johan Gobin (Team Energizer), Normann Latouche (Entente CCV-UCS) et Edwin Nubul (VCF) ont effectué une bonne partie de la course en tête devant un groupe de 13 coureurs et le peloton. 

C’est à quelques mètres de l’arrivée que le Rwandais Joseph Aréruya s’échappe en solo pour aller chercher la victoire d’étape.

“Je suis très content de ma performance. J’ai pu compter sur mon équipe qui m’a permis de gagner cette première étape”, a-t-il déclaré au micro d’une des télévisions locales. 

En s’imposant à l’arrivée au Marin, au terme de la deuxième plus longue étape de cette édition 2022 (135 km), Aréruya endosse le maillot jaune de leader, devançant Gert Kivitski à 58 secondes. Edwin Nubul referme le trio de tête. 

“Nous avons réaliser une très bonne course”, se réjouit Gustave Joachim-Arnaud, président de la Team Pédale Pilotine Blue Car. “Les cyclistes roulaient à une très bonne moyenne. Maintenant, nous ne sommes qu’au premier jour, il reste beaucoup de kilomètres à parcourir”.

Dès demain, Joseph Aréruya devra défendre son maillot jaune. La prochaine étape sera composée de deux tronçons. Le premier ralliant le Marin à Fort-de-France (97km). Le deuxième, un contre-la-montre individuel, dans les rues de la capitale. Le départ sera donné en face au siège de la Cacem. L’arrivée, quant à elle, se fera face au siège de la direction de la Mer (8,3km).

Elena Rybakina wins Wimbledon women’s final for 1st Slam | Loop Jamaica

/0 Comments/in /by

Black Immigrant Daily News

Elena Rybakina has won the women’s title at Wimbledon by beating Ons Jabeur 3-6, 6-2, 6-2.

Rybakina is the first player representing Kazakhstan to win a Grand Slam singles title. She was born in Russia but switched nationalities in 2018.

The 17th-seeded Rybakina dropped only two sets in her seven victories at the All England Club.

Rybakina, who turned 23 last month, is the youngest woman to win the Wimbledon title since a 21-year-old Petra Kvitova in 2011.

Her reaction was muted as can be, a little sigh, a hint of a smile.

“Happy that it finished, to be honest,” Rybakina said, “because really, I never felt something like this.”

She has represented Kazakhstan since 2018, when that country offered her funding to support her tennis career. The switch from Russia has been a topic of conversation during Wimbledon, because it barred all players who represent Russia or Belarus from entering the tournament due to the war in Ukraine.

Since the WTA computer rankings began in 1975, just one woman ranked lower than the No. 23 Rybakina has won Wimbledon — Venus Williams in 2007 at No. 31, although she had been No. 1 and already won three of her five career Wimbledon trophies.

Rybakina used her big serve and powerful forehand to overcome the No. 2-ranked Jabeur’s varied style, with its mix of spins and slices, to put a halt to the 27-year-old Tunisian’s 12-match winning streak, which came entirely on grass courts.

“You have an amazing game, and I don’t think we have someone like this on tour,” Rybakina told Jabeur during the post-match trophy ceremony, then added this one-liner: “I ran today so much, so I don’t think I need to do fitness more, honestly.”

Jabeur also was participating in her first Grand Slam final.

“She deserved this. Hopefully next time will be mine,” said Jabeur, whose exuberance on the court and personality off it have earned her the sobriquet “Minister of Happiness.”

“Elena stole my title,” Jabeur joked, “but it’s OK.”

Masked Bandits Target Two Castries Schools – St. Lucia Times News

On Thursday night, masked bandits targetted the Castries Comprehensive Secondary and the nearby Sir Ira Simmons Secondary schools.

The intruders escaped with computers and other items from one of the educational institutions.

According to multiple sources, around 11:20 pm on Thursday, a skeleton staff at the Castries Comprehensive Secondary School (CCSS) was making last-minute preparations for graduation the next day.

The sources revealed that’s when a ‘petrified’ security guard brought news that two masked men had entered the school compound.

One of the men had a firearm and ‘cranked it’ one source revealed.

CCTV camera footage revealed that the men entered one of the classrooms.

But it appeared that the bandits left without taking anything of value.

Armed police responded after receiving a distress call, but the intruders had apparently left after about fifteen minutes while CCSS staff were hiding.

That same night, bandits also targetted Sir Ira Simmons Secondary School near the CCSS.

“The same guys ransacked the place, all the offices, the IT lab – they stole so many things there,” an individual familiar with the incident told St Lucia Times.

However, reports indicate that while at least two bandits were involved in the CCSS incident, four of them entered the Sir Ira Simmons Secondary School compound.

They broke into four rooms at the learning institution and stole computers, electronic tablets, and other items.

Police are investigating the incident.
