In Barcelona, Russian and Ukrainian exiles cross paths at the baths: ‘We don’t talk about the war, not even at the banya’.
For the past year, traditional steam baths from Eastern Europe have been springing up across the Catalan capital.
Popular with both Russians and Ukrainians – who arrived by the thousands at the start of the war in 2022 – the establishments have become an unexpected place for the two communities to coexist.

Activists have targeted Axa with a coordinated spoof advertising campaign across seven cities, accusing the insurer of backing fossil fuel expansion while promoting its environmental credentials
Advertising displays in #London, #NewYork, #Barcelona, #Nice, #Bayonne, #Rennes & #Grenoble were taken over as part of an international action focused on Axa’s alleged involvement in insuring new liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals in South East Asia

Il Fatto Quotidiano: A 51 anni è ancora in finale al volteggio: la prestazione da leggenda della ginnasta Oksana Chusovitina | Video
Ha 51 anni, ma guardando il video della sua prova al volteggio il dato anagrafico sembra quasi un errore. Oksana Chusovitina corre, stacca, vola e atterra ancora abbastanza bene da competere con ginnaste che potrebbero essere sue figlie. Martedì, ai Giochi Asiatici di Nagoya, la leggenda uzbeka ha ottenuto 13.266 punti, quarto punteggio delle qualificazioni, conquistando così un posto nella finale del volteggio in programma oggi.
Non è una gara per veterane, né un’esibizione celebrativa. Chusovitina è ancora lì, tra le migliori del continente, a giocarsi una medaglia. Davanti a lei nelle qualificazioni soltanto la sudcoreana Yeo Seo-jeong (14.466), la nordcoreana An Chang-ok (13.900) e la cinese Du Siyu (13.433).
La sua carriera, del resto, sembra appartenere a un’altra scala temporale. Chusovitina vinse il primo oro olimpico addirittura a Barcellona 1992, nella gara a squadre con la Comunità degli Stati Indipendenti, pochi mesi dopo la dissoluzione dell’Unione Sovietica. Da allora ha partecipato a otto Olimpiadi, record assoluto tra le ginnaste: da Barcellona fino a Tokyo 2020. A Pechino 2008 conquistò anche l’argento individuale al volteggio, quella volta con la maglia della Germania.
Dietro quel cambio di bandiera c’era una storia familiare. Nel 2002 il figlio Alisher si ammalò di leucemia e Chusovitina si trasferì in Germania per permettergli di ricevere cure adeguate. Ottenne la cittadinanza nel 2006 e gareggiò per la nazionale tedesca fino al 2012. Poi, una volta guarito il figlio, tornò a rappresentare l’Uzbekistan. “Se mio figlio non si fosse ammalato, non me ne sarei mai andata”, ha raccontato.
Ai Giochi Asiatici ha già conquistato otto medaglie, tra cui due ori, mentre ai Mondiali è stata tre volte campionessa e ha raccolto nove medaglie individuali al volteggio. Ora, più di 34 anni dopo Barcellona, Chusovitina è ancora sulla pedana. E non soltanto per esserci: a 51 anni, è ancora abbastanza competitiva da provare a salire su un podio internazionale.

At 51, she’s still in the final at floor exercise: legendary gymnast Oksana Chusovitina's performance | Video
She is 51 years old, but watching the video of her tumbling vault performance, her birthdate seems almost an error. Oksana Chusovitina runs, strides, flies, and lands reasonably well enough to compete with gymnasts who could be her daughters. On Tuesday, at the Asian Games in Nagoya, the Uzbek legend scored 13.266 points, fourth-highest score in qualifying, thus securing a spot in today’s tumbling final.
It isn't a veteran competition or a celebratory exhibition. Chusovitina is still among the best on the continent, competing for a medal. Only the South Korean Yeo Seo-jeong (14.466), the North Korean An Chang-ok (13.900), and the Chinese Du Siyu (13.433) were ahead of her in qualifying.
Her career, after all, seems to belong to another time scale. Chusovitina won her first Olympic gold medal at Barcelona 1992, in the team event with the Commonwealth of Independent States, just a few months after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Since then, she has participated in eight Olympics, an absolute record among gymnasts: from Barcelona to Tokyo 2020. At Beijing 2008, she also won silver individually on the vault, that time wearing the German jersey.
Behind that change of allegiance was a family story. In 2002, her son Alisher became ill with leukemia and Chusovitina moved to Germany to allow him to receive adequate treatment. She obtained citizenship in 2006 and competed for the German national team until 2012. Then, once her son recovered, she returned to represent Uzbekistan. “If my son hadn’t been sick, I would never have left,” she said.
At the Asian Games, she has already won eight medals, including two golds, while at the World Championships she has been three-time champion and collected nine individual gold medals on the vault. Now, more than 34 years after Barcelona, Chusovitina is still on the floor. And not just to be there: at 51 years old, she is still competitive enough to try to get on a podium internationally.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🌍🧭 Researchers at the University of #Barcelona built a free web tool that converts current #fossil coordinates to where those locations sat millions of years ago.
It runs five global plate tectonic models simultaneously and shows automated results nearly identical to desktop #software, with an average spatial error under 17 meters.
