League Notes: Four Australian Football League Clubs Searching For New CEOs

Four Australian Football League clubs are now searching for CEOs at the same time following today’s axing of Carlton CEO Steven Trigg. Trigg’s "shock sacking" comes days after Hawthorn cut Tracey Gaudry after four months in her job as the first female club CEO. Collingwood is searching for a replacement for Gary Pert, who left several months ago, "while acting Western Bulldogs CEO Gary Kent is understood to be leaving his position in March" (THE AUSTRALIAN, 10/5).

Red Bull Formula 1 Dir Helmut Marko said that promoting driver Pierre Gasly to an F1 race seat shows the team has "balls" compared to the likes of Mercedes and Ferrari. Reigning GP2 champion Gasly became the "latest product of the Red Bull driver development system to reach an F1 seat when he replaced fellow graduate Daniil Kvyat at Toro Rosso for the Malaysian Grand Prix" (AUTOSPORT, 10/4).

Japanese players "will be barred from competing in the Chinese Table Tennis Super League," possibly until the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, a source at the Japan Table Tennis Association said Thursday. The CTTSL decided on a policy of no foreign paddlers, according to the source, who said that women’s world No. 6 Miu Hirano was "recently notified of the move by the Chinese club that she was scheduled to play for." The decision is "thought to have been reached over fears that Japanese players have become more of a threat from having competed in China" (KYODO, 10/5).
