Eleftherios Petrounias

The final of four apparatus world cups wraps up in Cairo this weekend, but while the finale will determine the overall series champions on each event, athletes hoping to qualify to world championships as specialists will have to wait until all continental championships are complete before they’ll find out if they’re getting a ticket to Antwerp.

Six athletes currently leading in the series are expected to compete in Cairo, including Oksana Chusovitina of Uzbekistan (vault) and Anna Lashchevska of Ukraine (beam) on the women’s side, and Milad Karimi of Kazakhstan (floor), Nariman Kurbanov of Kazakhstan (pommel horse), Artur Davtyan of Armenia (vault), and Illia Kovtun of Ukraine (parallel bars) on the men’s, and there are a number of athletes poised to take over the top spots on several events, especially in the men’s competition.

One of the most crucial performances here will come from Eleftherios Petrounias of Greece, who has only attended one world cup so far, and while he could be pretty well-positioned to stay within the top eight with his current total of 30 points, another win here boosting him to 60 points will guarantee him a spot at worlds. After missing the entirety of the world cup season in 2022, Petrounias wasn’t eligible to compete in Liverpool despite winning the rings title at Euros, so I’m glad he’s back on track for world domination once again…and as an added adorable bonus, he’ll get to compete in Cairo alongside his wife, the legendary Vasiliki Millousi, who make her return to international competition at Euros after nearly five years – and two children! – away.

Also exciting here will be the world cup debut of Joscelyn Roberson of the United States. Roberson finally made her international debut at the DTB Pokal Team Challenge in March, where she posted the top all-around score in addition to winning the gold medal on vault and the silver on floor. Roberson will compete all four events in Cairo, and while she won’t need this meet to make it to worlds the way others competing here will, a strong showing could make an impression on the national team staff and will be great experience as she works toward earning a spot on the U.S. worlds team.

Qualifications begin tomorrow, April 27, and continue on Friday the 28th, with finals taking place over the weekend. Start lists and live scoring links are available here, and any potential streams will likely show up on Sport Lens TV, though nothing is confirmed as of right now.

Hugh Grant’s lawsuit alleging illegal snooping by British tabloid can go to trial, court says

Published

on

A London court on Friday rejected an attempt by the publisher of The Sun tabloid to throw out a lawsuit by actor Hugh Grant alleging that journalists and investigators it hired illegally snooped on him.

Justice Timothy Fancourt said a trial in January will have to determine whether The Sun had carried out unlawful information gathering that included tapping his landline and bugging his car and breaking into his home.

News Group Newspapers (NGN), which owns The Sun, had argued that Grant didn’t bring his claims within a six-year time limit.

Hugh Grant arrives at the 23rd annual Screen Actors Guild Awards at the Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall in Los Angeles, Sunday Jan. 29, 2023.

The judge dismissed Grant’s phone hacking claims on time limitation grounds, but said the case could proceed on the other allegations.

“It was only on seeing invoices disclosed … in 2021 that Mr. Grant believed that private investigators (PIs) had been instructed by The Sun to target him in various ways, particularly in 2011,” Fancourt wrote.

The case was argued during a hearing last month that also included phone hacking allegations by Prince Harry against News Group, Rupert Murdoch’s British newspapers.

Fancourt’s ruling didn’t address the Duke of Sussex’s case because he wants to hear more about Harry’s allegations that he was prevented from bringing his claims much sooner because of a “secret agreement” between Buckingham Palace and Murdoch’s papers.

Hugh Grant arrives at the Rolls Buildings in central London for the conclusion of News Group Newspapers (NGN) phone hacking hearing Thursday April 27, 2023.

Harry alleged that the royal family had agreed to settle their cases with NGN, publisher of the defunct News of the World, out of court after related litigation died down.

He said the deal called for an apology from the newspapers. In court papers, Harry said that he only brought his lawsuit when efforts to expedite that settlement failed.

He said his brother, Prince William, heir to the throne, subsequently received a “huge” settlement over phone hacking allegations against News Group.

Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, right and his brother Prince Harry take part in a trade on the BGC Partners trading floor, during the BGC Charity Day 2013, in Canary Wharf, London, Wednesday, Sept. 11, 2013.

NGN has denied there was a “secret agreement.” The palace hasn’t responded to messages seeking comment on that or William’s alleged settlement.

A spokesperson for News Group issued a statement on Friday saying that it was pleased that the court threw out Grant’s phone hacking allegations.

“NGN strongly denies the various historical allegations of unlawful information-gathering contained in what remains of Mr. Grant’s claim,” the statement said.
