World Wrestling Championships: Abhimanyu Loses In Quarter-finals

All four Indian free-style grapplers competing on the opening day of the UWW World Championships lost their respective bouts on Saturday, in a disappointing start to the country's campaign at the global event, which is also a 2024 Paris Olympic qualification tournament. Only Abhimanyu, in 70kg, showed the determination to slug it out by reaching the quarterfinal before his run was ended by Zain Allen Retherford of the United States. The American, ranked No.2 in the world, secured a 9-2 'win by decision' to advance to the semifinals. Abhimanyu, the bronze-medal winner at the U23 World Championships in June and ranked 26th in the world, had earlier upset Ukrainian world No.7 Ihor Nykyforuk 19-9 by effecting a victory by fall (VFA) before defeating Moldova's Nicolai Grahmez 13-2 (technical superiority) to secure a place in the quarters.

'If Europe wants long-term security, it needs to enlarge': EU Commissioner Várhelyi

Várhelyi insists that there has been a new approach to EU enlargement since the war in Ukraine: “We've seen that with the war of aggression of Russia against Ukraine, there's a clear rethinking about enlargement being a priority,” he says. “I think by now it is clear for everyone in Europe, not only for the leaders but also for the general public, that if Europe wants to ensure its long-term security and prosperity, it will need to enlarge, and it will need to have a larger population coming under the same values and creating the same area for everyone in a Europe of peace, stability and security. Now, if you want to look at the State of the Union speech in that context, I think this speech paved the way for how to achieve this, as a mid-term or even short-term reality.”
