Monaco E-Prix Round 7 highlights
It was fortunately not raining like during Qualifying, but the track was damp. Sebastien
Buemi
was the first Formula E driver to take Attack Mode and used it to reach the fifth position and then moved up the ladder up to the top. The much-awaited victory marks his return to form several years after his last win in New York in the Formula E World Championship Season 5.
Talking to the media after the win, Buemi said, "It's hard to believe, just got to be lucky from time to time, but today we had great pace, great Attack Mode timing, amazing! Three-time Monaco winner, not bad! I mean we've been through a lot, so obviously to win now is something incredible, I think those guys deserve way more, I let them down quite a few times, and now today to win especially here, it's something very special, very thankful to them!"
Oliver Rowland had control of the race in the first half but other drivers started catching up in the latter half. He finally managed to clinch the second spot amid much struggle and competition.
As the race started, Sam Bird, who had crashed at the start of Qualifying, returned to participate in the race but started in the last position. Cupra-Kiro driver David Beckmann suffered a tyre issue and moved off the track but returned to the race later.

Bojan Bogdanovic announces retirement from NBA after 10 seasons; look at basketball star's career
Bojan Bogdanovic, veteran forward announced his retirement on Sunday, after a decade in the NBA. The 35-year-old Croatian star ended his journey with a remarkable career. Bogdanovic posted a heartfelt message on his social media handle declaring his exit. Bojan Bogdanovic who was sidelined by a persistent foot injury, shared an emotional statement reflecting on his career lasting 10 seasons, on his Instagram handle. 'Sometimes in life, you don't choose the moment. The moment chooses you," he stated. "After 14 months of battling a foot injury, two surgeries, and countless efforts to get back on the court, the time has come to close a chapter,' he added. Bogdanovic's basketball journey began with his NBA debut with the Brooklyn Nets in the 2014-15 season. His professional career overseas laid a strong foundation. Over the next 10 years, Bogdanovic played for six NBA teams: the Nets, Washington Wizards, Indiana Pacers, Utah Jazz, Detroit Pistons, and New York Knicks. Reflecting on his career, Bogdanovic wrote, 'Every stop left a mark. Every jersey carried its own weight.' His final NBA chapter came full circle when the Knicks traded him back to the Nets in 2024. In the deal, the Knicks acquired Mikal Bridges. However, Bogdanović was unable to play during the 2024-25 season due to a season-ending foot surgery in February, which led to his retirement. Bogdanovic was a brilliant wing scorer with his strong shooting and attacking skills. He maintained a career 39.4 percent three-point shooting average. Notably, he posted double-digit scoring averages in every season except his rookie year. He finished his career with an impressive 15.6 points and 3.6 rebounds per game. Bogdanovic's scoring prowess was impressive during the 2019-20 season with the Utah Jazz and the 2022-23 season with the Detroit Pistons, where he averaged over 20 points per game. Bogdanovic represented Croatia at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro and delivered an outstanding performance, averaging 24.8 points per game across five contests. In his retirement post, Bogdanovic expressed a feeling of pride in representing the nation. 'Above all, I had the honor of wearing the Croatian crest on my chest,' he wrote. As Bojan Bogdanovic closes his basketball chapter, his legacy as a dependable scorer and proud Croatian will stay forever. "I didn't reach the end. I have reached the other side of the beginning," he concluded.

Rohit Sharma's 'On This Day' Post On T20 World Cup 2024 Anniversary Makes Fans Emotional
It's already a year since India beat South Africa by seven runs to win the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup, and Rohit Sharma, who captained the team to championship glory in Barbados, said it was a surreal feeling to be crowned as winners of the glittering silverware. As the entire nation recalls the historic moment that saw the Indian team end its 13-year wait for lifting an ICC title, Rohit took to social media and shared a post that got fans emotional. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rohit Sharma (@rohitsharma45) As a youngster, Rohit was a member of the team winning 2007 Men's T20 World Cup in South Africa. But after winning the 2013 Champions Trophy, India had their so close yet so far moments of winning titles till that glorious day in Barbados arrived, where Rohit & Co broke the trophy drought in style in an unbeaten campaign. 'Barbados will forever be in my veins. This is the proudest moment of my cricketing career. To lift that trophy, to be crowned ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 Champions—it was surreal. I played in the inaugural 2007 T20 World Cup and we won under MS Dhoni's captaincy. And now, to win it again with Rahul Dravid as head coach—it meant everything to this group. 'We've seen heartbreak. We've come so close. That's why this one was so special. We worked and planned relentlessly—every day. And when we finally won, all the emotions came pouring out. The younger players, especially those playing their first World Cup, realised how hard it is to win one. Nothing can be taken for granted. It was magical,' said Rohit to JioHotstar. What was going through his mind before taking the field for the final, which also became his last game for India in T20Is after the championship glory was achieved? Rohit admitted that he didn't sleep well in the night before the final and nervous energy led to him waking up much earlier than expected. 'Thirteen years is a long time. Most people don't even have a 13-year career. So, to wait that long to win a World Cup… the last one I won was in 2007. For me, it couldn't have gotten any bigger than this. I didn't sleep the whole night. I was only thinking about the World Cup. I was nervous. I couldn't feel my legs. Did I feel nerves? Of course. 'I just don't show it—but inside, it was a lot. We were supposed to leave around 8:30 or 9 in the morning. But I woke up at 7. From my room, I could see the ground and just kept watching it. I remember thinking—'In two hours, I'll be there. And in four hours, the result will be out. Either the Cup will be here or it won't." With the bat, India posted 176/7, thanks to Virat Kohli's crucial 76 and his 72-run partnership with Axar Patel in the title clash. 'If you hit three boundaries in the first over, then obviously, you've started off well. And that's exactly what every cricketer wants—it helps settle the nerves. The experience of playing for India over so many years also helps in those moments.
