To increase Great Britain’s total to four, Joe Clarke won his second medal at the Canoe Slalom World Championships.

On day three of the Championships in Sydney, Australia, Clarke won the bronze medal for the men’s kayak team along with Ben Haylett and Jonny Dickson.

France came in second only 0.06 seconds ahead of Japan, with Great Britain coming in third, a further 0.04 seconds behind.

Clarke, 32, won the silver medal in the individual time trials on Monday, opening the medal haul for Britain.

“It helped me push up, indulge the guys, and set the tone for the run.” Although it was a great run, Clarke remarked about the tight margins.

Adam Burgess, Ryan Westley, and Luc Royle, the men’s team, won silver on Tuesday, trailing France by 0.79 seconds.

After a nervy wait at the finish, the women’s team took home a bronze in the same discipline.

After a 50-second penalty that was later removed, the British trio of Kimberley Woods, Ellis Miller, and Bethan Forrow initially placed eighth.

Before they could celebrate their medal, they had to wait until an investigation from Slovakia, which had placed fourth, was finished.

We thought we managed to recover really well from the top incident, Miller said.

Is Blake Lively who Taylor Swift’s upcoming song Ruin The Friendship is about?

Fans believe that the messy friendship between Blake Lively and Taylor Swift will be included in the forthcoming album The Life Of A Showgirl, which will be released on Friday.

Taylor Swift is well-known for writing songs about her friends and boyfriends. Following a messy friendship break-up with Blake Lively, fans think they know which song on the singer’s upcoming album will be about her former best friend.

The Life Of A Showgirl is Taylor’s 12th studio album and will be released on October 3. The track list has already dropped, giving fans a glimpse of what the album may be like. Fans have been guessing what these songs may sound like and taken to TikTok to post videos of their predictions.

One of the songs’ names, Ruin The Friendship, is where many fans speculated that Blake may be, with Taylor and she apparently having a falling out, respectively.

Taylor, who is not interested in being dragged into it, was reportedly a part of the actress’ lawsuit against It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni. According to sources close to Taylor, Blake allegedly used her as a “dragon” over text, and Taylor feels that she was being “used as an intimidation tactic” by using her as one of her “dragons.”

One fan referred to the lawsuit in a video where the song’s lyrics were suggested: “I’m gonna ruin the friendship, yeah. Blake, I won’t give any names. No, Justin, I never sent those texts. Don’t run toward me. A screenshot from a news article about Taylor’s inclusion in the lawsuit was included above the top by the fan.

Another made a similar video, singing, “You threaten me, yeah, you’ve ruined the friendship” and a third referenced both Blake and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, ultimately calling Blake “poison Lively”.

The fan yelled, “Blake, Blake, you had plenty of opportunity to clear the air,” the fan said. You did, however, include me in place. When you break up our kinship, it seems like you destroyed our friendship. And you know I’ve been trying, given how many calls Ryan and I made. Feels like a poison ivy experiment, but instead, I believe it to be poison Lively.

The singer, who also sang the names of Blake’s children James, Betty, and Inez, who were all featured in songs on the album Folklore, named one of them Betty, because they were once so close. However, if the rumors are true, Blake herself would be the first song to be written.

Taylor has also written a song about a friendship break-ups before, including her 1989 single Bad Blood. The song, which was accompanied by a music video featuring several celebrities Taylor was friendly with, is said to be about her feud with Katy Perry.

Many of Taylor’s songs are about real people, but the majority of them are former lovers and flings, as was The Tortured Poets Department, which had rumored to be about Matty Healy, Joe Alwyn, and the singer’s current fiance Travis Kelce.

According to a statement released by his chief press secretary, Rafiu Ajakaye, the governor made remarks after a security council meeting on Tuesday night.

AbdulRazaq briefed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu about the recent attack at Oke Ode, in which he reiterated his request for additional federal troops to raid the hideouts.

As part of its renewed efforts to improve security operations in the state, he claimed, “The Army Headquarters has since moved the General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the 2nd Division to Ilorin.”

“On Monday night, armed bandits were neutralized by combined forces of the Army, DSS, and Police in the vicinity of Baba Sango along the Kwara–Kogi border.

On Tuesday, the same operation continued. I also presided over the State Security Council meeting at Ahmadu Bello House in Ilorin yesterday night to integrate state and federal assets into a single strategy for both Kwara North and South.

Governor AbdulRazaq assured Kwara residents that his administration would continue to support security organizations to protect everyone.

He claimed that his administration would use every tool at its disposal to combat insecurity.

The security forces have promised to smoke out and get rid of criminals from their hideouts, I assure me. Every resource we have available will help us combat insecurity.

“Kwara will not be a criminals’ hideout.” You may flee from any criminal who wants to destabilize Kwara’s atmosphere, but you can’t escape justice.
