Sport is founded on the fundamental principles of fair play, equal opportunities and level playing fields. Most athletes are therefore pragmatic in accepting defeat when they’ve been fairly beaten, when both athletes or teams had equal opportunity due to similar preparation and recovery times.

At the recent #AsianGames in Nagoya there were instances of football and volleyball teams arriving late for matches after being taken to the wrong venues. And some outdoor sports had no contingency plans for re-scheduling due to bad weather. 2 cricket QF were therefore decided by the teams’ world rankings rather than by an actual match.

The #badminton schedule required players to play 2 matches in one day, with play finishing at 2am with literally no spectators present. Media obligations, warm downs, a 1-hour drive back to the hotel, and the need to eat, meant the 2 latest to finish, Sindhu and Christie, probably didn’t get to sleep before 4am. The quarterfinals then started at 9.30am that same morning!

Both lost their QF matches. Christie losing for the first time in 11 meetings to Loh Kean Yew who finished his previous match at 6.20pm, almost 8 hours before Christie finished at 2am.

Despite the scheduling issues, there was some wonderful badminton and notable achievements. An Se Young became the first player to win 2 WS Gold medals. Vitidsarn became the first badminton player from Thailand to win individual Gold. And Loh Kean Yew’s Silver was a first individual medal for Singapore.

The WD final was clearly the outstanding match on finals day, despite the sad ending with Liu Sheng Shu struggling with cramp. But Baek/Lee eventually became the first Korean pair to win Gold for 24 years. Carnando/Marthin won 2 Golds, the MD and the Men’s Team having been an integral part of Indonesia’s stunning performance in coming from 0-2 in the final against China.

Whilst I feel privileged to have witnessed some wonderful badminton, I also feel desperately sorry for all those whose lifelong dreams, and ability to perform to their best, were compromised by logistical or organisational issues, as elimination in such circumstances cuts deep and is harder to accept.

🚨 “BELOW 20 AND UNEMPLOYED”- INDIAN WRESTLERS DENIED US VISAS!

Several Indian wrestlers, including 2024 U17 World Champion Neha Sangwan, have reportedly been denied US visas ahead of the U23 World Wrestling Championships in Las Vegas.

The wrestlers were reportedly refused visas due to their employment status and being below 20 years of age.

WFI has urged the US Embassy to reconsider the cases.

While Haryana athletes are the toast of the nation for playing a big role in India’s medal haul at the recently concluded Asian Games in Japan, each one of them has had to fight their way through hardships and obstacles. Life is known to throw curveballs, but athletes practising at Tau Devi Lal Stadium had not seen this one coming.

Honourable Prime Minister Ji 🙏
Very little time is left. The Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Asian Para Games begin on 18 October.
I earned my Asian ranking and qualification through my hard work and performances, but my entry was not sent by the Federation, leaving me in this situation.
Prime Minister Ji, I humbly request you with folded hands to kindly intervene immediately and ensure that, by any possible means, my entry is made and I am given the opportunity to represent India at the Asian Para Games.
This is about 8 years of my hard work and my entire sporting career. I only want the opportunity to play for my country and represent India. 🇮🇳🙏

I have a favourite Harmanpreet Kaur story, one that I have repeated multiple times. Ahead of the 2017 World Cup, when women's cricket barely registered on the sporting radar in India, I conducted a media training session for the team in Mumbai before they left for the World Cup.

One aspect I touched on was the need for players to speak with honesty and candour about their backstories and journeys, so fans can appreciate what its taken for them to reach this point. Harman was sitting in the front row of this "class" and raised her hand...

"Sir, aap bol to rahe ho ki apni story bataon, par koi sun na hi nahin chahta"

Almost a decade on, the landscape of women's cricket has transformed entirely. And Harman has played a significant part in that. Today, her exit as India captain, after a stellar run in the job, is the biggest cricket story of the day!

Ab log bilkul sun na chahte hai Skipper! Congratulations on a terrific run in the top job @ImHarmanpreet
