French swimmer disqualified in 10km open-water event
French swimmer Aurelie Muller
Rio De Janeiro - Arab Today
French swimmer Aurelie Muller has been stripped of her Olympic silver medal after being found guilty of ‘dunking’ opponent Rachele Bruni on the finish line, according to Metro.
After a chaotic race officials were called upon to controversially disqualify Muller when footage emerged of a confusing finale to the women’s 10k open water event.
‘The French swimmer has sunk me,’ Italy’s Bruni told media after the event.
‘At the finish she obstructed me and I could not touch the board. I am glad of the decision of the judges.’
After removing Muller, the gold medal eventually went to Sharon Van Rouwendaal, silver to Italy’s Bruni and bronze to Brazil’s Poliana Okimoto.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.

Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led
