Gray as a mouse,
Big as a house,
Nose like a snake,
I make the earth shake!

Shaky legs & unbalanced stance. But one day he will be a 6000 kg mammoth & earth will shake with each step. That is how life is, few small steps initially. VC Unknown.

@joybhattacharj Newspapers need to carry this story. Unfortunately by design, the federations and administrators are not incentivised to support the growth of the sport and players on merit. A consequence of which is the decay of Indian sports dream. More power to this team!

@docbhooshan What about Kabbadi. Replace grace with speed & strategy

@hnag Adding a couple of references - but RAE is everywhere in sport from cross-country skiing to football. Search for "Relative Age Effect"

Age in sports is a defining characteristic.

Becoming a professional player whether it is football or ice-hockey depends two factors a player cannot control - birth month and birth order.

[Dhanya @d2a2d]

What say? It only makes sense for sportspersons to keep their DOB 'fluid' like often seen in Kabaddi.

2nd-born players with an older brother have higher salaries than players without siblings

What an incredibly powerful, unsettling ad film!! The idea is to showcase, "women are *held back* because of motherhood" (career, pay, etc.). This Belgian ad, made by the agency Mortierbrigade, chooses a creative device that is surreal and borders on the bizarre, but strictly 1/6

Space-time warp?
Bizarre & beautiful. #SwimmingPoolThoughts

What Indian sports needs is lot more events.

Never too old for play,
For I have not gone astray,
My dark skin glows in the sun,
I, a tusker, find breaking sand simply too fun.
