أنا عارف إنكم لسه زعلانين، بس وعد مني إني هعمل كل اللي في قدرتي عشان أضمن إن دي تكون بداية جديدة للكورة المصرية على الساحة الدولية. التأهل لكأس العالم مش هيكون كفاية، والمشاركة كمان مش كفاية. الفريق ده يستاهل ثقتكم

Every athlete both knows and craves the almost indescribable, yet addictive thrilling moment of victory. The euphoric explosion of sheer unadulterated joy. It’s the moment you’ve dreamed about. It’s the reason you’ve pushed through the pain and endured the years of literal blood, sweat and tears during training. It’s the moment when all the crushing heartaches of previous defeats are eclipsed by the uninhibited exhilaration of that glorious winning moment.
For most athletes those fleeting moments of victory evoke a totally addictive concoction of varied emotions far more complex than just pure joy. Most also experience disbelief, relief and satisfaction.
The disbelief that the moment you had previously only dared dream about, has actually become reality. The relief that the goal has been achieved, and all the hard work was, without question, worth it. And above all, the satisfaction that physically, mentally and tactically you got the better of your opponent.
And that is the whole point. That exhilarating winning moment can only be experienced at the natural conclusion of the match. Without the contest, and without an opponent, there is NO euphoric winning moment.
It is therefore essential players both understand and respect the crucial role of their opponent(s) in their own magical moment of victory. And that respect should be shown by shaking hands and thanking opponents FIRST, before celebrating with their coaches. Not only is it good sportsmanship, but as such, it is also a requirement under the Players’ Code of Conduct.
At some recent #BWFWorldTour events more than 50% of the winners rushed to their coaches before shaking hands with their opponents. And it’s not just happening when winning the title, it’s also been prevalent from the first round. What a shame it would be if the current trend was allowed to manifest itself to become the normal and accepted procedure.
So, today on #WorldBadmintonDay, I call on the elite players to lead by example, by upholding the ethical values of sport with good sportsmanship to both help spread the word, and show the watching world, that #badminton is a truly great and wonderful sport.

A UK family where both parents work full-time, pay full council tax, and earn enough to be 'doing alright' on paper, can't afford to take their kids to the Tower of London on a Saturday in 2026.
Two adult tickets and two child tickets at standard price comes to roughly £100. Add £40-£80 in train fares and £50-£70 for lunch — that's around £200 for a single Saturday at one tourist attraction in their own capital city.
A family on full Universal Credit, living in subsidised housing, paying no council tax, can take the same four people to the same Tower for £1 a ticket — £4 total — under the 'inclusive access' schemes most major UK attractions now run.
The working family pays the full £200 day out AND covers — through their taxes — the £196 discount the benefits family gets on the same trip.
Whatever the original intention of those schemes, this is the structure most UK working families are now living inside. Pay the full bill, then watch the people next door enjoy the day out you can't take your own kids to.
We can confirm that we don't wish to add Gautam Gambhir to our coaching staff. He clearly has talent, though. To take those Indian players and deliver those results in Ireland takes truly remarkable gifts.
For a moment let us set aside the fact that changing the name of the AIFF to the Football Federation of Bharat or adding Vande Mataram in addition to the National Anthem before matches is not going to make any material difference to how the Indian team plays football.
My question is, did none of the committee members in the room even think that as the guardians and guiding lights of the world's most popular sport in the world's most populous country, these were not the decisions that every football lover was looking for from them?
And that worries me more than any name change or additional ceremony. They have no idea how tone deaf their decisions sounded in the middle of a World Cup, utterly detached from ground realities.
One of our greatest ever, signing off.

Mohamed Salah has redefined expectations since arriving at Liverpool in 2017 and even in this most testing of seasons, his presence on the pitch always gives those in the stands the belief that a moment of magic is close by.
Salah set the tone at Anfield right from the off and backed up a brilliant debut season by helping deliver another Champions League title in 2019 and the long-awaited Premier League crown in 2020.
With a FA Cup, two League Cups and a heroic performance in last season’s title win, his legacy is undeniable.
