一 | MUMBAI, India -- MUMBAI, India (AP) — Cricket's return to the Olympic program for the 2028 Los Angeles Games drew an enthusiastic response from around the world.Cricket, a bat-and-ball game that is hugely popular in south Asia, was one of five sports added to the LA Games by the International Olympic Committee on Monday. Flag football, baseball-softball, lacrosse and squash were also included.“After a wait of more than a century, our beloved sport is back on the Olympic stage,” former India captain Sachin Tendulkar wrote on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. “This marks the dawn of a new era for cricket as it will be a golden opportunity to foster inclusivity and showcase new talent from emerging cricketing nations. A start of something truly special!”Monday's decision was made at an IOC meeting in Mumbai, the Indian city that will host five matches at the ongoing Cricket World Cup.Cricket was last played at the Olympics in 1900, but the game is played at other multi-sport events like the Commonwealth Games and the Asian Games.“Players will get the chance to compete for an Olympic gold medal and be part of the games, which will be so special,” said Mithali Raj, a former India women's cricket team captain. “It’s also a chance for more fans around the world to enjoy our fantastic sport.”For the last two years, the International Cricket Council has been working extensively with the IOC for inclusion at the Los Angeles Games.“To have the opportunity to showcase our great sport at the LA28 Games and hopefully many Olympic Games to come, will be great for players and fans alike,” ICC chairman Greg Barclay said.The ICC hoped the Olympics, which has an estimated audience of more than 3 billion, will provide an opportunity for cricket to “engage new audiences and further boost the sport’s reach across the world, opening the door to a new generation of cricket enthusiasts.”Another Indian cricket great, Sunil Gavaskar, was also excited for the players to mingle with athletes from around the world.“That is totally fantastic, isn’t it?” Gavaskar said while commentating during Australia's cricket match against Sri Lanka. “What an experience it’ll be for every team, and particularly the Indian team, to be able to see what the Olympic village is like, to be able to spend time with other athletes, other champions.”In Australia, the governing body of the sport in the country praised the decision as a chance to expand further afield.“This is a game-changer for our sport that is already among the fastest growing in the world,” Cricket Australia chief executive Nick Hockley said. “The Olympic Games will undoubtedly increase the global reach of cricket, inspiring a whole new generation to love and play the game.”Cricket at the Los Angeles Olympics will be a six-team event for both men and women and will be played in the Twenty20 format.Los Angeles organizing committee sports director Niccolo Campriani said the format will be “appealing to the younger crowd.”“We are thrilled to welcome the world’s second-most popular sport with an estimated 2.5 billion fans worldwide,” Campriani said. “Some of you might be wondering why in LA? Well, the commitment to grow cricket in the U.S. is real, and it’s already happening with the launch of the very first Major League Cricket season earlier this year, which exceeded all expectations. And the (men’s) T20 World Cup in 2024 coming to U.S. and West Indies.”___AP Olympics: https://apnews.com/hub/2024-paris-olympic-games。

二 | 8月24日消息,据报道,大众汽车CEO奥博穆在面向员工的内部备忘录中警告称,汽车行业的困境未来几年还会进一步加剧,当前形势“比严峻更严峻”。 大众汽车即将围绕新一轮重组展开数周密集磋商。奥博穆认为,公司必须大幅削减成本,才能维持自身作为欧洲最大车企的竞争力和财务稳定性。目前大众正推进公司史上规模最大的重组,潜在措施包括再削减5万个岗位以及拆分部分业务部门。

三 | 奥博穆在备忘录中强调:“目前不足4%的利润率在现有环境下尚算稳健,但长期来看,远不足以为新技术、新产品以及生产基地投入提供充足资金。” 大众汽车正同时承受多重压力。中国市场方面,大众在华销量较2019年下降约三分之一,今年第二季度中国市场销量下滑近三成,利润持续走低。 中国车企加快进军欧洲市场,进一步挤压大众本土份额。美国进口关税不断增加成本,欧洲地区长期存在的高成本产能过剩问题进一步加重经营压力。 财报数据显示,大众汽车集团2026年上半年全球销量399.7万辆,同比下降8.4%;营业利润59亿欧元,同比下降11.6%;税后利润31亿欧元,同比下降30.7%;利润率由4.2%降至3.8%。 其中大众乘用车品牌利润率仅约2.4%,斯柯达达到8.5%,中国市场成为主要拖累项。 据知情人士透露,大众汽车监事会将于9月4日再次开会,继续讨论重整方案。 大众汽车集团尚未正式确定新增裁员规模。今年3月,大众已宣布计划到2030年在德国削减约5万个岗位,其中约3.5万个涉及乘用车品牌。 6月有消息称大众正考虑将裁员规模扩大至10万人,并关闭4家德国工厂。 关于裁员规模,奥博穆解释称:“外界经常提到的全球约5万个岗位,并不是一个固定目标。这一数字是按照大众汽车与竞争对手相比需要达到的成本目标推算出来的,主要用于说明需要采取多大规模的行动。”
