The 15 year old, making her senior major championships debut, was outstanding competing in the first of the qualification rounds to score a personal best all-around total of 56.190 points, good enough for her to qualify for the final in third place. She will be joined in the all-around final on Friday by Claudia Fragapane who performed in her trademark high energy style to score 55.031 points placing fifth with more to offer in the final. Amy Tinkler, recently crowned British Champions in her first year at senior level also impressed with her excellent all-around performance totalling 54.958 points, however with only two gymnasts per country allowed to make finals she just missed out despite placing sixth. Reigning European bars champion Becky Downie confidently progressed through to both the bars and beam finals placing second in both, with more skills to offer in her beam routine and small improvements to her bars she will hope to be amongst the medals over the weekend. Claudia has a busy weekend ahead having qualified for the the floor, beam and vault finals whilst Ellie Downie will also compete in the vault final and in the bars alongside her older sister with Amy Tinkler making it into the floor final in third spot.

Fostering state and AND THE MENA REGION societal resilience stands out as a major goal of the strategy, con- HE M T ceived both as a means to enhance prevention and early warning and as a long-term investment in good governance, stability and prosperity. This book collects the results of a research project designed and implemented by FEPS and IAI exploring different understandings of resilience on the basis of six MENA state and societal contexts, mapping out the challenges but also positive reform actors and dynamics within them as a first step towards operationalizing the concept of resilience. U, RESILIENCE AND E FEPS is the progressive political foundation established at the European level. Created in 2007, it aims at establishing an intellec- tual crossroad between social democracy and the European project. THE As a platform for ideas and dialogue, FEPS works in close collabora- tion with social democratic organizations, and in particular national foundations and think tanks across and beyond Europe, to tackle the challenges that we are facing today. FEPS inputs fresh thinking at the core of its action and serves as an instrument for pan-Euro- pean, intellectual political reflection. IAI is a private, independent non-profit think tank, founded in 1965 on the initiative of Altiero Spinelli.

In 1986 the effort became focused when the International Olympic Committee recognized squash and the World Squash Federation applied for inclusion in the 1992 Barcelona Games. Campaigns have occurred ever since, in particular for the Beijing 2008, London 2012 and Rio 2016, as well as for the next three upcoming Summer Games. SThe push for the Olympics, however, often overshadows squash’s inclusion in numerous other international multi-sport events, some that you might know well and others slightly more obscure. Squash will be featured this month in the quadrennial Pan Ameri- can Games in Lima, and also the Pacific Games in Samoa and the Island Games in Gibraltar. Later this year, there is the African Games in Morocco in August, and the Southeast Asian Games in Philippines and the South Asian Games in Nepal in December. Many thousands of squash players, from top PSA professionals to amateurs of all ages, play in these games, building friendships and adding to their home nation’s medal count. The exposure of squash to wider audiences is tremendous, with media attention in the host and participating nations. The facilities that get built are fabulous legacies, particularly for host cities that are slightly off the beaten squash track—for example, the courts in Cartagena that were built for the 2006 Central PHOTO: © R.
