400m national record at Paralympic Games by Maltese Thomas Borg

Sep 3 2021

Maltese Paralympian Thomas Borg completed the national team’s commitments in the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games by setting a new national record. Competing in the 400 T47 class sprint heats at the National Stadium, he competed in the second heat of the event, speeding around the track with his personal best time of 55.34 seconds.

Finishing the race in sixth place, Borg was able to cut off two seconds off his previous best time of 57.73 seconds to set the new national record in his respective class. This was also Borg’s second personal best at the 2020 games as he had managed to improve his time in the men’s 100m T47 heats with a time of 12.01 seconds. Led by chief Julian Bajada, the Maltese delegation will now participate in Sunday’s closing ceremony before their voyage home. The race was won by Brazil’s Thomas Ruen de Moraes in 49.95 seconds, followed by American Tanner Wright at 50.10 seconds.

Drake releases new album Certified Lover Boy

Sep 3 2021

With the first announcement of his new album a little over a year ago, Drake’s ‘Certified Lover Boy’ has finally come out. It features the likes of Jay-Z, Travis Scott, Future and Lil Wayne, along with a spoken word cameo by Nicki Minaj. The album makes more musical strides by sampling the Beatles’ ‘Michelle’ in the first song ‘Champagne Poetry’, with John Lennon and Paul McCartney credited as co-writers.

The album was first announced in August 2020 with the lil Durk collaboration ‘Laugh Now Cry Later’. It was said to release in January this year but got pushed back, coming out instead with a cryptic promo last week amidst a feud with Kanye West dating from 2008. Lyrics and features from the album were revealed on billboards all across the States. Drake also launched his own cannabis brand and was honoured at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards as the Artist of the Decade. Have you listened to ‘Certified Lover Boy’ yet?

Death threats? Valletta resident receives suspicious paper after rant video

Sep 2 2021

Following the rant video posted on Facebook criticising the platform installed in Merchant Street and the current ‘Tyrannical’ state of the country, the Valletta resident known as ‘Il Boat’ posted a video alluding to a considerably worrying situation.

The Valletta resident revealed that he received a printed photo of himself and his partner on a boat with a line of fire icons inserted below the picture. According to him, it is unknown whether or not the fire icons are a sign of respect or a threat from a mysterious source that they will burn his boat, which is made out of carbon fibre.

Minchia… Novanta la paura!

Posted by Il Boat on Thursday, 2 September 2021

‘Il Boat’ said that he is not intimidated by the cryptic message, nor is he going to report the situation to the police. He went to jokingly call the mysterious person stingy due to the fact that the photo was printed in black and white and not in colour.
