LA 28 Sports Programme has been announced. Para Climbing has been added. Few men's events in athletics replaced by new women's events. https://www.paralympic.org/news/la28-paralympic-medal-event-programme-athlete-quotas

Meaning Ireland won't compete in Sevens soon?

What does it mean when you say program is shut? No financial support and contracts? Or not allowed to take part in Sevens events

The sports: Beach soccer, beach volleyball, beach kabaddi, beach sepak takraw, pencak silat, and open water swimming Madhya Pradesh, a landlocked state with no beaches finished first last time.

I don't think that will be the case. Except for certain muslims largely near J&K, everyone is united in this battle. I stay in Hyderabad which is the stronghold of AIMIM party - All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen. Its a 98 year old party which has been winning seats in Hyderabad for decades. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_India_Majlis-e-Ittehadul_Muslimeen It's leader Asaduddin Owaisi yesterday said harsh words against Pakistan and vowed the nation must pay the price. https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/operation-sindoor-asaduddin-owaisis-jai-hind-post-as-india-strikes-terror-targets-in-pakistan-8349589/amp/1 It clearly is making Pakistan mad as they are not able to divide our nation. The very operation is being led by Sofia Quereshi, an Muslim woman and religion is the least of the concerns. This isn't a religious war it's a war against state sponsored terrorism.

Entire Pakistani airspace has been closed for any commercial flights. Airlines in India have cancelled flights to J&K, Punjab, Ladakh, Rajasthan and Uttarakhand (North India)

First mock drill experience for most Indians today including me. Last one was in 1971.

I think for cricket, given the state of affairs of West Indies cricket 1 America doesn't sound right. Oceania is definitely going to get 1 with Australia and New Zealand both present. It could be Europe-America combined 1. But that said it could well be top 5 in ICC rankings+ Hosts

Jeanmonnot gets the yellow bib with a 5 point lead over Preuss. An nail biting mass start coming up.

Laegrid wins the crystal globe with one race to spare

It looks like this entire decade only South Asia will have Olympic champions in Men's Javelin. After India and Pakistan, it's time for Sri Lanka. World number 1 and 2 this year by throws are Sri Lankans and it's a no nonsense distance. One of them ditched a career in cricket in favour of Olympic glory. As of now Rumesh Tharanga leads 21 year old sensation Sumedha Ranasinge

Japan had a women's team last Olympics now there isn't a single biathlete seen in WC.. what happened?

Good victory for Simon. Quick question do Simon and JBB talk to each other now ? Or is the issue still in courts

A much anticipated return for Marketa Davidova tomorrow!

A good win for Jacquelin!

A stunning race and Finland continue their excellent year. Seppala and Mïnkkïnen are the champions

Really can't understand this. It's a pity we won't defend our Women's Fours Title from 2022 Games

Gujarat is all but set to host the 2030 CWG. The detailed presentation was submitted to CGF and a formal bid will be launched in March. The venues for the games are identified as SVP Enclave (aquatics, boxing, basketball, gymnastics, kabaddi), Karai Sports Hub (athletics, triathlon), Naranpura Sports Complex (badminton, table tennis, judo), Statue of Unity (beach volleyball, mountain biking), Narendra Modi Stadium (cricket), IIT Gandhinagar (road cycling, hockey), Gujarat University (netball, shooting), Transstadia Eka Arena (rugby, e-sports, yoga), Mahatma Mandir (weightlifting, wrestling), and the Vijayi Bharat Foundation for archery.
