Riots add to Paris Olympics’ security woes a year from start

PARIS—As riots raged around France earlier this month, infrastructure for next year’s Paris Olympics risked becoming engulfed in the violence, adding a fresh worry for organisers who face a head-spinning list of security challenges one year before the Games start.

Surveillance was increased around the under-construction Olympic athletes’ village, media centre and swimming complex which are in the deprived Seine-Saint-Denis area of northeast Paris, one of the hotspots of the rioting.

In the end, a building which will house a training pool suffered minor damage to its facade when an adjacent bus depot went up in flames and an attempted arson attack on the media centre was thwarted by two alert security guards.

“We were very close to having a major problem,” Nicolas Ferrand, head of the Solideo organisation in charge of Olym- pics construction work, said afterwards.

GREETINGS: You are hereby required, within sixty (60) days from the date of the last publication of this summons, to file with this Court and serve on the plaintiff your answer to the Complaint, copy of which is likewise served upon you through publication. You are reminded of Section 12 (a), Rule 15 of the 2019 Amendments to the 1997 Rules of Civil Procedure prohibiting the filing of a motion to dismiss except on the ground provided for under said rule. If you fail to answer within the time aforesaid, the plaintiff will take judgement against you by default and demand from the court the relief applied for in said Complaint.

“We are very confident that the Games can and will happen in a peaceful environment,” he told reporters.

- Opening ceremony fearsThe need to manage street crime around the Olympic venues is a challenge French security forces are familiar with, former national police chief Frederic Pechenard told AFP.

The chaotic street scenes were an unwelcome reminder of last year’s Champions League final in Paris, which was held at the national stadium in Seine-Saint-Denis that will host the athletics events at the Olympics. Gangs of youths preyed on football fans attending the 2022 climax to the European football season, many of whom were assaulted and robbed as they made their way out of the stadium.

International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach this week sought to reassure people planning to travel to Paris.

“Delinquency, potentially riots, or strikes are worries for organisers, but generally secondary ones,” he explained.

Pechenard, who became a politician for the opposition Republicans party after serving as national police chief from 2007-2012, said security services were naturally worried.

“If I was in charge of security, which very fortunately I’m not, it’s a terror attack that would worry me the most.”

“Everyone knows that it won’t be easy to secure,” he explained. “The biggest risk is someone acting on their own who decides to cause an incident.”

The biggest headache is securing what promises to be the most ambitious opening ceremony in Olympic history.

HD Spikers seek big bounce-back vs Kurashiki

THE Premier Volleyball League holds a rare Monday pair of matches tipped to heat up the race in the semifinal round of the Invitational Conference with the Kurashiki Ablaze vowing a better, stronger showing against Cignal at the Philsports Arena in Pasig today.

The Japanese side shrugged off an early struggle and dumped Vietnam’s Kinh Bac-Bac Ninh, 23-25, 25-14, 25-20, 25-11, in the guest teams’ league debut late Friday with the former guaranteeing a more explosive outing when they face the HD Spikers in the 4 p.m. opener.

“We’re thankful for the invitation (to play) and, step by step, we will level up,” said Kurashiki coach Hideo Suzuki through an interpreter.

Tamaru Asaka actually exploded with a 28-point burst, all on attacks, somewhat giving the HD Spikers middles something to work on as the latter tries to recover from a tough five-set defeat to the Creamline Cool Smashers the last time out.

Creamline’s 23-25, 25-16, 25-21, 24-25, 15-10 escape put them two full games ahead of Kurashiki at 3-0 with the defending champions taking a brief

Cignal’s Ria Meneses scores rest before stepping up their finals drive against the Vietnamese tomorrow (Tuesday).

Asaka actually downplayed her big performance, saying she struggled against Kinh Bac-Bac Ninh’s superb blocking in the early going.

“Their blocking was good but I was able to adjust in time,” said Asaka, who will turn 25 next month.

The visiting squads also took notice of the huge fans’ support and said they are thrilled and are looking forward to playing before a huge crowd in the midseason conference of the league organized by Sports Vision and backed by BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, Mikasa, SMART, Rebisco, Kumu, Asics and SportRadar.

“We know that the local teams are strong but we will do our best, we will show our worth,” said Suzuki. “This is a good experience for us, especially with so many fans. Filipinos really love volleyball.”

Kinh Bac-Bac Ninh also hopes to rebound and play to its true potential as the Vietnamese clash with the PLDT High Speed Hitters, who are coming into their 6:30 p.m. clash brimming with confidence following a stirring 3-0 romp over the fancied but weary F2 Logistics Cargo Movers, also over the weekend.

Pampanga foils Bacoor; Imus, Iloilo hurdle rivals

PAMPANGA won the battle between division leaders as it thwarted Bacoor, 78-70, on Saturday in the OKBet-MPBL (Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League) Fifth Season at the Laguna Sports Complex in the provincial capital Santa Cruz.

Justine Baltazar registered his 19th straight double-double with 13 points and 18 rebounds to tow the Giant Lanterns to their 19th win against a loss as the North pacesetters prove superior over the Strikers, the South frontrunners, who skidded to 16-4 in the elimination round of the 29-team tournament.

With the 6-foot-8 Baltazar and the 6-5 Bahio asserting their height advantage, the Giant Lanterns ruled the boards, 52-43, and produced 52 points inside the paint against the

Strikers’ 30.

Bacoor got 19 points plus 9 rebounds from Jhan McHale Nermal and 14 points plus 7 rebounds from Jhaymo Eguilos.

Veteran Mark Yee, however, was held to 6 points and 2 rebounds, while gunner James Kwekuteye settled for 6 points and 8 rebounds.

A one-handed slam by Eguilos pushed Bacoor to within 38-44 at halftime, coming from a 21-34 deficit.

The Giant Lanterns brought along supporters in nine buses to ensure that they won’t be drowned out in the cheerleading department, and it worked.

Iloilo United Royals squeaked past Laguna Krah Asia, 57-55, in the nightcap to boost their playoff drive with a 9-12 card.

Joshua Flores scored on a drive and split his two charities in the last minute to lift Iloilo past Laguna, which seized control, 55-54, following backto-back triples by Jason Celis and Jerome Garcia.

It was a concerted effort for the Royals, who drew 9 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists from CJ Catapusan, 8 points, 8 rebounds plus 3 assists from Lorenzo Navarro and 8 points plus 7 rebounds from hoemgrown Omar Larupay.

Laguna, which slid to 3-18, got 14 points from Paolo Pontejos and 13 from Garcia.

Jaymar Gimpayan posted 18 points and 12 rebounds to power Imus, followed by Carlo Lastimosa with 14, Jimboy Estra with 11 plus 7 rebounds, and NIno Canaleta with 11 points, 5 rebounds plus 2 steals.
