The high-profile commission started back in 2017 with artisan brand Colicci, with the final kiosk being erected on Monday 15th March 2021 in St. James’ Park, perfectly highlighting Mizzi Studio’s design prowess and aesthetic expertise.

Man arrested for infecting 22 people with COVID-19 in Mallorca

Apr 25 2021 Share

A man from Mallorca has been arrested with suspicion of assault after infecting 22 people with COVID-19 by going to work and the gym despite showing symptoms.

Spanish police had been investigating an outbreak in the town of Manacor towards the end of January, with reports of an individual ‘becoming infected but hiding his illness’.

The man not only ignored advice to go home but deliberately lowered his mask to cough and saying “I’m going to infect you all with coronavirus”, eventually infecting a number of colleagues and their family members, including three one-year-old babies, and a number of regulars at his gym.

During this week’s European Artistic Gymnastics Championships, German gymnast Sarah Voss defied convention by competing in a full-body suit to take a stand against sexualisation in gymnastics.

Voss expressed her satisfaction and support from Germany’s gymnastics federation, with two of her team-mates following suit on Friday.

“We hope gymnasts uncomfortable in the usual outfits will feel emboldened to follow our example,” the gymnast stated.

The German federation said that female athletes should feel comfortable in their clothing at all times, with Dutch Gymnastics welcoming the move, along with a number of other gymnasts and organisations.
