Max McCusker got Ireland's European Championships campaign off to a flying start in Rome this morning progressing to the semi-finals of the 50m butterfly, while Darragh Greene advanced in the 100m breaststroke.
Team India of course has had a few shining lights, who gave the rest of the athletics world a run for its money in their respective disciplines, from time to time on the global stage. The legendary Milkha Singh charged into the 1960 Rome Olympics having won the gold medals in the 200m and 400m sprints at the Tokyo Asian Games that year. He almost won a 400m bronze in Rome, only to heartbreakingly finish fourth, coming in just 0.1 seconds behind the bronze medallist Malcolm Spence of South Africa. That day in Rome, Milkha Singh couldn't grab an Olympic medal, but he created a National Record which stood for almost 40 years. Anju Bobby George shone brightest when she won the bronze medal in the 2003 World Championships in Paris in the women's long jump event. More recently, Hima Das made headlines in 2018, when she won the 400m gold at the U-20 World Championships. And then of course the crowning glory - javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra's gold at the Tokyo Olympics last year. The biggest prize in world sport - an Olympic gold medal - won by an Indian. The first Indian to win a gold medal at the Olympics in athletics ever and only the second overall (if you count Norman Pritchard's two silvers in the 1900 Games, representing India).
Marcus Lawlor casts his mind back to 2018 when pressed on his season's form heading into the European Championships.
Dina Asher-Smith defended her 200m title as part of a record-breaking performance at the European Championships in Berlin on this day in 2018.
Serena Williams may be in the home stretch of her career, but the 23-time Grand Slam champion's aura remains, Switzerland's Belinda Bencic said Wednesday. "You can feel her presence everywhere. She has that aura ...whether you like it or not you are intimidated, you are scared," said Bencic, who nevertheless managed to quell her emotions and beat Williams 6-2, 6-4 in the former world number one's final match at the WTA Toronto Masters.
I could stretch Yong in final as I was fresher than him, says championBENGALURU: After conquering the pressure of expectations to win the men's singles badminton gold medal at the Commonwealth Games, young Lakshya Sen is getting ready to celebrate his 21st birthday next Tuesday before he takes off for the World Championships in Tokyo (August 22-28). The Almora boy, who trains at the Prakash Padukone Badminton Academy here, returned to a warm reception by the trainees and staff led by Prakash Padukone and PPBA director and chief coach U Vimal Kumar. Speaking to reporters at the Padukone-Dravid Centre for Sports Excellence, Sen said the six-week break he took by skipping tournaments in Malaysia and Singapore helped him to do well at the Birmingham Games.
Best known for her exploits in the 100m breaststroke, Mona McSharry is hoping to make a splash in the 200m event at the 2022 LEN European Aquatics Championships in Rome over the next 10 days.
Pakistan's javelin thrower Arshad Nadeem scripted few days back as he won a gold medal at the Commonwealth Games and as a result, he brought the country's first gold medal in the sport at the CWG. Now, Arshad's coach Syed Hussain Bukhari has said that he wishes to see Neeraj Chopra competing with Arshad at either Islamabad or Lahore. He also went on say that Neeraj is like their son and they will shower him with love if he ends up winning.
