Commonwealth Games. India had exceeded expectations in Australia by winning three gold, a couple of silver and three bronze medals. Half of those medals, including two gold, came via Manika Batra whose career graph and popularity sky rocketed thereafter. The 27-year-old from Delhi stunned Olympic medallist Feng Tianwei of Singapore not once but twice in the competition to secure an individual and team gold for India.
After a record breaking performance at the Tokyo Olympics last year, where they won an unprecedented seven medals including an individual gold by javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra, the Indian contingent will be looking to outstrip its performance in the last edition of CWG in the Gold Coast, Australia. India finished third on the medal tally in 2018, behind Australia and England, in 2018 with 66 medals including 26 gold. But their best ever showing at the Games remains the exploits in the home edition in 2010.
Oregon): The United States maintained their stranglehold of the men's 4x400 metres relay on Sunday as they won World Championships gold in utterly dominant style in front of a delirious home crowd. The United States have now won eight of the past nine world titles and eight of the past 10 Olympic golds and Sunday's crown never looked in doubt. Elija Godwin and Bryce Deadmon were retained from the semi-finals with newly-crowned individual gold medallist Michael Norman and Champion Allison, fourth in the final, drafted in and each man extended the lead as they came home in two minutes, 56.17 seconds.
West Indies on Sunday. Chasing 312 to go 2-0 up in the three-match series, India needed 100 runs from the last 10 overs with five wickets in hand. Patel smashed 64 not out off 35 balls, as his fifth six sealed India's thrilling victory with two balls to spare.
Oregon): The United States collected their third successive women's 4x400 metres relay world title in emphatic fashion on Sunday, finishing well clear in 3:17.79 ahead of Jamaica and Britain to close out the Eugene World Championships with a 13th home gold. Talitha Diggs got the Americans off to a solid start and Abby Steiner edged further ahead of Jamaican Janieve Russell in the second leg a day after helping the United States win gold in the sprint relay. Britton Wilson opened even more daylight before anchor Sydney McLaughlin, who shattered the 400m hurdles world record on Friday, brought it home for gold with a remarkable 47.91 final leg, finishing some 20 metres clear.
Shikhar Dhawan praised his team's performance after India registered a two-wicket win over West Indies in the second ODI here on Sunday. Half-centuries from Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson and Axar Patel helped the visitors to a series-clinching win in the three-match series at the Queens Park Oval stadium, while chasing a mammoth 312 to win. "It was a great team performance. Boys didn't lose the self-belief, that is amazing. Iyer, Sanju, Axar everyone was amazing, Even Avesh came out in his debut game and scored those 11 important runs. Thanks to IPL, they perform on a huge stage. I felt that we bowled nicely," said Dhawan in a post-match presentation.
Begu, ranked 45 in the world, eased to a 6-2, 6-2 victory over her 78th-ranked opponent who was seeking a maiden WTA title. Before Sunday, the 31-year-old Begu had not added to her trophy collection since a fourth title on home ground in Bucharest in 2017.
Tour de France on Sunday, ending the reign of two-time defending champion Tadej Pogacar after a gruelling three weeks and 3,350km of relentless struggle. The 25-year-old former fish-market worker claimed his first Tour de France title, a year after his break-out performance when he came second to Pogacar. "This victory is huge for me, it's incredible," said Vingegaard as he stood on top of the podium on a sun-kissed Champs Elysees. "There are so many people I want to thank but I don't know where to start," he added, reserving particular praise for organisers who started the race in his native Denmark. Vingegaard also hailed teammate Wout van Aert as "phenomenal" and "the best rider in the world", as he was flanked by second-placed Pogacar and 2018 champion Geraint Thomas, who was third.
