The Commonwealth Games means more than gold to athletes around the world

This is the end of the men’s 67kg weightlifting competition at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games and Kiribati’s Ruben Katoatau, 25, is one of the most popular contenders among fans and the media. He didn’t win gold or silver or bronze, and even he didn’t understand why there was so much interest in him. It could be the enthusiasm he uses to approach every lift, and the big smile that comes after every success. Or it could be the spirit of “Friendly Games”, where everyone is happy to see competitors from small countries get a chance to shine. And, no matter how good the gold, for many like Katoatau, being a part of the event means a lot. “I’m very happy with the audience. I’m very happy for that,” he said. “I get fire on my platform, and I lift weights. I really give it my all.” Katoatau says weightlifting is not very popular on the Pacific Island.

Key points: NFL disciplinary officers find Watson engaging in “conduct that qualifies as sexual assault” Judge Sue L Robinson said there was a “lack of expressed regret” on Watson’s part League says it wants to suspend Watson for over a year The sentence was handed out by the game’s disciplinary officer, former federal judge Sue L Robinson, who said Watson’s behavior was “more egregious than it was before the NFL review”. But the ban doesn’t live up to what the NFL reports: an open suspension of at least one year for violating the league’s privacy policy. Watson, who played four seasons with the Houston Texans before being traded to Cleveland in March, recently settled 23 of 24 lawsuits filed by women alleging sexual harassment and assault during treatment in 2020 and 2021. The NFL has three days to appeal the decis
