☆ Success Eluded Him in Dance. Then Came Gymnastics and Simone Biles.
  + stars: | 2024-07-05 | by ( Laura Cappelle | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
When the gymnastics superstar Simone Biles tumbles and dances her way through her third Olympics this month, the choreography she performs in her floor routine will be seen on hundreds of millions of screens around the world. The Biles effect has brought with it something unexpected for Milan at 51: success. When he turned to gymnastics choreography full-time, in 2017, he was in debt, having started a dance company that never took off, and still reeling from the psychological scars left by a tumultuous career in ballet. “I was furious with what I’d experienced in the dance world,” he said. “I loved the art form so much, but the behavior of the people I’d encountered in it disgusted me.”

☆ World champion Patouillet hopes for more LGBTQIA+ acceptance in cycling
  + stars: | 2023-09-20 | by ( Noemie Olive Manuel Ausloos | Noemie Olive | Manuel Ausloos | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
The 35-year-old Frenchwoman brought back two bronze medals from the 2020 Tokyo Paralympic Games on the track and she now looks set to take part in the Paris 2024 Olympics after claiming the paracycling road race world title last year. Sport, however, is also a platform for Patouillet, also a gay rights activist, to raise awareness against discrimination on any basis, be it gender, sexual orientation or disability. In 2022, she sported rainbow-coloured hair at the 2022 UCI Para-Cycling Track World Championships in a bid to spark conversation on LGBTQIA+ rights. "Athletes who left an impression on me through their activist commitments to fight against discrimination, they are rather Anglo-Saxon. "I hope that the (2024) Games in Paris will give rise, or at least be an opportunity for certain athletes, to speak out on these subjects and that, after that, there will be changes on this."
