Just picking up on the fact that we have the Kabaddi World Cup going on in :ENG at the moment - first time it has ever been held in Europe (or so close to Europe) :thumbup:

 

If you've never seen it, compare it to indoor rugby, but without a ball.

Another sign that Summer is here - the 2025 Speedway Grand Prix starts tomorrow in Landshut :GER.  

 

I'm always a fan - one of the very few technical sports where all the athletes get the same generic kit & what matters is the rider & nothing else.  :cheer:

Speaking of speedway, :GBR Tai Woffinden has a very bad crash in a pre-season friendly and will basically miss the full year and who knows if it affects his career as well.

Records set tumbling yesterday right in the Beer Mile World Championships from Lisbon, :POR.  Sadly, they make the classic error of putting the result of one of the races right slap bang on the entry link, so we will start with the Ladies and you will have to find your own way to the Gentlemen's race.

Ah, they use the little bottles of beer, I see, instead of the German half liters. Well that makes it easy, of course :p

      This could be the last ever Paralympics. Come 2028 it might well not be held because the IPC has split in two. That’s one legacy for Andrew Parsons.    He could simply ignore CAS or even withdraw the IPC from them. Unless he is worried about falling from his hotel room window or is being blackmailed.

The Dutch Swimming Federation (KNZB) made this decision after consultations with government ministries, including the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport, which confirmed the withdrawal.

      An interesting bit from the head of french biathon on the olympic success. Asking if the early gold in the mixed relay was a major factor in the following podiums, he highlighted the last world cup stage (9 podiums over the week) as a great confidence boost just before the Olympics.     https://www.nordicmag.info/jo-2026-biathlon-pour-nordic-magazine-stephane-bouthiaux-tire-le-bilan-des-incroyables-jeux-olympiques-du-biathlon-francais-on-naurait-jamais-pense-ramener-autant-de-medailles-0226/

      Indians have rediscovered hockey due to recent Olympic and Asian level successes. One of the catalyst was a sports movie called 'Chak De! India' (meaning Go India in Punjabi) which is a underdog movie on the women's team. The movie songs has become an iconic patriotic song to motivate our athletes in sports events and the movie title 'Chak De' has become a slogan in itself.  The movie is available in Netflix France as well - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0871510/
