New chewing gum neutralizes flu and herpes viruses I More women than men at the 2028 Olympic Games
April 11, 2025
Hello dear Good News community,
I love sport, I like to do it myself, I like to watch it live in the stadium or in the hall or sit in front of the TV. And the best thing is that more and more women are being shown as athletes. Whether it's professional women's soccer leagues, women's basketball or women's athletics. The fact that more women are being shown in sport is not a trend for me, but a change, as our Good News today also shows: There will be more women than men at the 2028 Olympics in LA.
Enjoy reading, Selina
