Olympic rings to celebrate the IOC official announcement that Paris won the 2024 Olympic bid are seen in front of the Eiffel Tower at the Trocadero square in Paris, France, September 16, 2017. Team GB finished fourth as the top European nation in the 2020 Tokyo table with 22 golds, compared to 10 each for Netherlands, France, Germany and Italy. "I think the wheels are going to have to come off if we’re not top five," England told reporters at an event announcing the first Team GB athletes, all sailors, for Paris 2024. England said France had an advantage in designing courses and choosing locations but that went with the territory and was accepted. The French capital will be the second city, after London, to host the Summer Games three times when they start next July.

Dupont suffered the injury in the 46th minute and was forced off the field at the Stade de Marseille on Thursday after a clash of heads in a clumsy tackle. Deysel, whose initial yellow card was quickly upgraded to a red on bunker review, said the collision was accidental. "I would like to extend my best wishes to Antoine Dupont," he told reporters. In relation to Deysel's abuse, World Rugby said on Friday that they would "support Namibia in any way possible to stamp out online hate." At the time, World Rugby CEO Alan Gilpin said: "Rugby is a sport for everyone and we take our responsibility very seriously to make the sport as inclusive, accessible and relevant as possible.

Dec 20 (Reuters) - The French Rugby Federation (FFR) said its president Bernard Laporte is stepping back from his duties after being sentenced on corruption charges but would remain in the role during his appeal process. Laporte received a two-year suspended prison sentence and a 75,000 euros ($79,582.50) fine after being found guilty in a trial for influence peddling and illegally acquiring assets. "In effect, Bernard Laporte remains president of the French Rugby Federation," the FFR said in a statement on Monday. The statement added that Laporte would meet with French sports minister Amelie Oudea-Castera on Thursday, and that an interim president would be appointed during Laporte's appeal process. Laporte also decided to "self-suspend" himself from his position as World Rugby vice-chairman after being sentenced.
