Biles set to make competitive comeback in August

LOS ANGELES: Gymnastics superstar Simone Biles is poised to compete in August for the first time since mental health and safety concerns cut short her Tokyo Olympics campaign, entering the August US Classic near Chicago. USA Gymnastics announced Wednesday that the four-time Olympic gold medalist was entered in the August 4-5 event, which would be her first since she withdrew from most of her events in Tokyo in 2021. “Registration...does not guarantee participation,” USA Gymnastics warned in the statement.

“76ers’ Future Uncertain: Harden and Harris Deals Hang in Balance”

PHILADELPHIA: James Harden might have side-eyed questions this week — much like he did in a playful reaction in his Houston days — about his future with the Philadelphia 76ers. But the issue is real in Philly: Will Harden return to the 76ers for a third season? All signs point to Harden declining his $35.6 million option on Thursday and entering this summer as an unrestricted free agent. That leaves the 2018 NBA MVP and 10-time All-Star free to sign with any team.

Saudi Q1 Economy Grows 3.8% on Non-Oil Activities Rise

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s real gross domestic product grew by 3.8 percent year over year in the first quarter of 2023, primarily driven by expansion in non-oil activities, according to a report released by the General Authority for Statistics.    The GASTAT report noted that the Kingdom’s non-oil activities expanded by 5.4 percent in the first three months of 2023 compared to the same period a year ago.    However, the Kingdom’s real GDP decreased by 1.4 percent in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the last quarter of the previous year. 

Gulf Running Clubs Fostering Community Spirit for Locals and Expats

“You do not stop running because you get old, you get old because you stop running.” This is the paraphrasing of George Bernard Shaw’s famous saying on “playing” and getting old, by Christopher McDougall, from his seminal 2009 book “Born to Run,” about the legendary running tribe, the Tarahumara. It is especially poignant on June 7, which is Global Running Day. Across the GCC, many runners of all abilities and ages will mark the day in their own way, no doubt with the appropriate hashtags and photos.
