| The oldest man in the world dies in Venezuela weeks before his 115th birthday. The oldest man in the world has died just weeks before his 115th birthday, Guinness World Records said on Wednesday. Juan Vicente Pérez Mora held the title of the oldest living man for just a few short years. Guinness awarded him the distinction on Feb 4, 2022, when he was 112 years and 253 days, after Saturnino de la Fuente García died weeks earlier. He was the fourth oldest validated living person in the world and was reportedly the only man alive born before 1911. At the time he credited his longevity to "working hard, resting on holidays, going to bed early, drinking a glass of aguardiente every day, loving God, and always carrying him in his heart." Faith was central to his life and he prayed at least twice daily, he told Guinness World Records, "He wants to be remembered as a hard-working man, faithful to his wife and his religion. " Pérez was born on May 27, 1909, in Venezuela to Euquitio Pérez and Edelmira Mora and was living in Táchira state when he died. Governor Freddy Bernal said on X, "With deep sadness and pain we say goodbye to this archetype of Tachirense man, humble, hardworking, peaceful, enthusiastic about family and tradition."

| 12th IFF Panama Captures the Excitement of Central American and Caribbean Film Industry Advances. Moved from its usual December berth last year, the 12th Panama International Film Festival (IFF Panama) runs April 4-7, replete with new industry activities and double the number of films since its previous edition. True to its mandate to serve as a showcase for Central American and Caribbean cinema, the festival's program this year includes a bevy of acclaimed films from the region, including two Panamanian Indigenous-themed features, "Bila Burba" and "God is a Woman." Recent years have seen the growing international recognition of pics from the region, with Nelson Carlo de los Santos becoming the first Dominican - and first Latin American - filmmaker to snag the best director Silver Bear at the Berlinale for his drama, "Pepe." Costa Rican director Antonella Sudasassi Furniss' sophomore feature, "Memories of a Burning Body," clinched the Audience Award for best fiction film in the Panorama section of the A-list German festival. Both are screening at IFF Panama. Announced last December, "Pepe" is one of three winners of the festival's Primera Mirada (First Look) industry section for pics in the post, alongside Guatemalan filmmaker Jayro Bustamante's "Cordillera de Fuego" and Dominican Johanné Gómez Terrero's "Sugar Island." Winners of the Su Mirada section, in development and post, will be unveiled at the closing ceremony on April 7, as will the audience award winner, chosen from 18 contenders.

| Miami Open 2024 tennis: Jannik Sinner, Danielle Collins bag singles titles - winners list. Australia's Matthew Ebden and India's Rohan Bopanna won the doubles crown. Italy's Jannik Sinner won the men's singles crown at the Miami Open 2024 tennis tournament in Florida on Monday. Sinner beat Bulgaria's Grigor Dimitrov 6-3, 6-1 in the 72-minute-long final at Hard Rock Stadium. The Italian tennis player faced just a single break point in the entire match. The ATP Masters 1000 win also lifts Sinner to the No. 2 spot in the men's singles tennis rankings. This was also Sinner's third ATP title of the year after the Australian Open and the Rotterdam Indoors crowns. Meanwhile, Florida proved to be the fairytale backdrop to USA's Danielle Collins, who is in her final season as a pro. The American beat Kazakh fourth seed Elena Rybakina 7-5, 6-3 on Saturday to claim what was her first WTA 1000 singles tennis title of her career. Collins became only the fourth American after Serena Williams, Venus Williams, and Sloane Stephens to win the Miami Open singles crown. The Indo-Australian pair of Rohan Bopanna and Matthew Ebden, who won the Australian Open earlier this year, took the men's doubles crown after beating the second-seeded team of Croatia's Ivan Dodig and American Austin Krajicek 6(3)-7(7), 6-3, 10-6. It was Bopanna and Ebden's second ATP Masters title after last year's Indian Wells.

| Inter Miami says Lionel Messi will play Saturday against Colorado in an MLS match. Lionel Messi is coming back to Inter Miami's lineup, with the team saying his absence due to a hamstring injury will end Saturday at home in an MLS match against the Colorado Rapids. "He's back," the team wrote in a social media post-Friday. Messi has missed Inter Miami's last four games, including one Wednesday when the club wasted a 1-0 lead and lost 2-1 to Mexico's Monterrey in the first leg of a CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinal. Tensions boiled over after that physical game, with members of both teams - Messi included - involved in a postgame shouting match near the locker room area at Chase Stadium. Inter Miami finished that game a man down, leading to Monterrey's comeback. "We know what those matches represent. They are played with intensity," Inter Miami assistant coach Javi Morales said Friday. "But the truth is, the most important thing happened on the field. We played against a great rival. Yes, unfortunately when we went down to 10 players we did not maintain the result. But now we have to go to Monterrey and try to do it in the best way to advance."

| Russia says that the IOC's decision on its athletes is very negative. Russia perceives negatively the decision by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to ban the participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes in the inaugural Olympic parade, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitri Peskov said on Wednesday. The senior official added that it would also be unfair not to count their victories in the table of medals of the Olympic Games, all of which destroys the idea of the Olympics, constituting an infringement of the athletes' interests. Peskov added that the decision is contrary to the whole ideology of the Olympic movement, and will not benefit the IOC. Earlier, the head of the IOC department in charge of relations with national Olympic Committees, James McLeod, stated that the Committee had banned Russian and Belarusian athletes from participating in the opening parade of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. The representative of the Olympic organization noted that a decision on the participation of athletes in the closing ceremony of the games will be made later.
