Turnkampioene Biles ligt in het ziekenhuis: 'bijna dood'

HOUSTON (ANP) - Turnster Simone Biles is in het ziekenhuis beland. Dat heeft de 29-jarige Amerikaanse zevenvoudig olympisch kampioene zaterdagavond zelf bekendgemaakt. "Ik ben normaal niet van het delen van dit soort dingen omdat ik privacy waardeer in de huidige tijd", schrijft Biles op haar Instagram. "Maar bijna doodgaan stond aan het begin van deze week nog niet op mijn bingokaart."

Het is niet duidelijk waardoor de turnster in het ziekenhuis is beland. "Ik zal het vroeger of later uitleggen", schrijft Biles. Ze bedankt haar naasten die haar hebben bijgestaan en bloemen hebben gestuurd. "Dit was een van de, zo niet de engste ervaring van mijn leven."

Naast zeven gouden olympische medailles werd Biles 23 keer wereldkampioen. Na de Olympische Spelen van Parijs in 2024 nam de Amerikaanse een pauze van haar topsportcarrière. Het is nog onduidelijk of ze zich gaat richten op de Spelen van 2028 in haar thuisland, in Los Angeles.

The singer knows all the words to Grease and channels Kenny Rogers at karaoke. But which classic musician does he liken to Picasso?

The first song I fell in love with
When I saw Night Boat to Cairo by Madness on Top of the Pops as an 11-year-old, something happened to me on a molecular level. There was something about the way they moved.

The first single I bought
I Don’t Like Mondays by the Boomtown Rats, from Swales Music in Haverfordwest, a 15-mile bus trip from the little fishing village in west Wales I lived in when I was eight.

‘Racist mindsets’: Congolese in Ireland feel fear in wake of Yves Sakila’s death

After a death in Dublin with echoes of George Floyd, people of colour sense rising hostility

When Kembetia Bissa fled the Democratic Republic of the Congo and moved to Ireland in 2003 he found not only sanctuary but beauty, friendship and a home.

The asylum seeker settled in Bandon, west Cork, and found work as a landscaper. He opened an African dance school with Congolese drumming and taught local people the rhythms of his homeland. “It was very positive, very welcoming. I felt like I was in my own country,” Bissa, 55, said this week in Dublin.
