🇱🇰 Sri Lanka's Rumesh Tharanga Pathirage raced across the field in the 2026 Rome Diamond League and hurled his javelin 92.62m -- the second-best Asian throw of all time 🤯
✍️ "Asian, and by extension world, javelin has a new superstar in the making, and it's a 23-year-old fast-bowler turned track and field athlete from Kalutara (~43km south of Colombo)," writes @AnirudhMenon89 🔽
Visited this speakeasy called ZLB23 at the The Leela Palace, here’s my review
• Ambience and vibes were 10/10, and cherry on the top to have live music
• Fun entry, kinda like that it’s through the Leela kitchen
• Amazing drinks variety, some drinks are super well presented
• Pricing is insanely high, so be prepared to spend quite a bit if you go there
Overall, I’d give it an 8/10 and would recommend to visit once for the experience :)

🇮🇳 When it comes to Indian sports, being cynical is often the default state for those in the know 🔽
Its counter is the sheer joy that comes from watching our athletes in the arena, on the field of play, unfettered and allowed to do what they do best 💪

In 2018, as an analyst and writer with huge expertise in T20 cricket, @fwildecricket (co)-wrote a book with a chapter called "Why RCB Lose".
He has then gone on to join RCB as their head of analysis, and win the IPL.
I think that's pretty fucking cool
You’ll see random pictures of Arshavin supporting Arsenal every year since he left. Dude never gave any interviews, just kept supporting the club like a proper fan. Top guy.
