Through its innovative and advanced medical products and solutions Toshiba Medical aims to provide sports medical professionals with solutions that support their efforts and contribute to the ongoing health and wellbeing of their athletes.

World Rugby Chief Executive Brett Gosper said: "To have a globally-recognised company like Toshiba Medical involved is fantastic, and I would like to thank them for their support of this year’s World Rugby ConfEx. Our Medical Commission Conference is an invaluable forum that drives thinking around player welfare and medical advancements, while sharing and considering information from the wider sporting and medical environment and we welcome Toshiba Medical’s input to the discussion."

Toshiba Medical Systems UK Managing Director Mark Hitchman said: "We’re delighted to begin this partnership with the 2016 World Rugby ConfEx. The event provides a platform for Toshiba Medical to engage with medical experts from national rugby unions and explain how our technology, knowledge and experience can support the health and wellbeing of rugby players around the world.

"Our aim is to support clubs, players and coaches to reach new standards in medical performance and injury prevention. With this in mind, we’re particularly excited to join those at the forefront of rugby and discuss medical best practice through World Rugby ConfEx and the World Rugby Medical Commission Conference."

Sinner-Alcaraz, the duel that came to succeed the three phenomenons

Beyond the final result, Roland Garros left the feeling that the Italian and the Spaniard will shape the great duel that came to help us through the duel for the end of the Federer-Nadal-Djokovic era.

Table tennis: Brazil’s Bruna Costa Alexandre will be Olympic and Paralympic in Paris 2024

She is the third in her sport and the seventh athlete to achieve it in the same edition; in Santiago 2023 she was the first athlete with disabilities to compete at the Pan American level and won a medal.

Rugby 7s: the best player of 2023 would only play the medal match in Paris

Argentinian Rodrigo Isgró received a five-game suspension for an indiscipline in the circuit’s decisive clash that would exclude him until the final or the bronze match; the Federation will seek to make the appeal successful.

Rhonex Kipruto, owner of the world record for the 10000 meters on the road, was suspended for six years

The Kenyan received the maximum sanction for irregularities in his biological passport and the Court considered that he was part of a system of “deliberate and sophisticated doping” to improve his performance. He will lose his record and the bronze medal at the Doha World Cup.

Katie Ledecky spoke about doping Chinese swimmers: “It’s difficult to go to Paris knowing that we’re going to compete with some of these athletes”

The American, a seven-time Olympic champion, referred to the case of the 23 positive controls before the Tokyo Games that were announced a few weeks ago and shook the swimming world. “I think our faith in some of the systems is at an all-time low,” he said.
