Records continued to tumble in weightlifting as Uttar Pradesh lifter Tushar Chaudhary's performance was the highlight of the day as he broke both the Clean & Jerk and total lift records held by Goldi Khan of Himachal Pradesh set at Indian Weightlifting Federation's National Championships in Nagercoil in January 2023.
With stiff competition from Tamil Nadu's R Kishore, who improved the Snatch record twice and the overall lift record once, Tushar was unperturbed and produced a superlative performance to put his rival in shade and claim the gold.

Rajasthan was one of the biggest movers on the medal standings on Tuesday, mainly due to its cyclists. They won five of the six medals on offer in the 30km boys and 20km girls Time Trials on the picturesque Marine Drive along River Ganga in Patna.
Ramavatar Chhimpa, a sweetmeat shop owner's son from Nokha in Bikaner district who trains in the National Centre of Excellence Patiala, and Manju Choudhary, a farmer's daughter who moved from Barmer to Bikaner to pursue cycling, emerged winners of the boys and girls' gold medals, respectively.

Haryana dominated the wrestling competitions in both U-17 boys and girls' categories winning four of the seven gold medals on offer on the day, with giant slayer Naina successfully defending her 49 kg Khelo India Youth Games crown, before Rovind (65 kg Greco Roman), Harsh (51 kg) and Arjun Ruhil (92 kg) took home the yellow metal.

Sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson arrested for incident at Washington airport involving boyfriend
Synopsis Sha'Carri Richardson, the reigning world 100-meter champion, faced arrest last weekend. The charge relates to an alleged assault on her boyfriend at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Richardson was charged with fourth-degree domestic violence. Despite this, she participated in the U.S. track and field championships. The incident involved a physical altercation. Christian Coleman, the boyfriend, declined to press charges. AP Sha'Carri Richardson reacts after winning her 100m heat during the U.S. Championships athletics meet in Eugene, Ore.,Thursday, July 31, 2025. (AP Photo/Ashley Landis) Reigning world champion 100-meter sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson was arrested last weekend for allegedly assaulting her boyfriend at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Richardson was charged Sunday with fourth degree domestic violence, according to the police report obtained by The Associated Press. On Thursday, she ran in the opening round the women's 100 meters at U.S. track and field championships in Eugene, Oregon. She has an automatic bye to the world championships in September in Tokyo as the defending champion. "USATF is aware of the reports and is not commenting on this matter," USA Track and Field said in a statement. Richardson's agent did not immediately reply to an email request for comment. The police report said an officer at the airport was notified by a Transportation Security Administration supervisor of a disturbance between the 25-year-old Richardson and her boyfriend, sprinter Christian Coleman. The officer reviewed camera footage and observed Richardson reach out with her left arm and grab Coleman's backpack and yank it away. Richardson then appeared to get in Coleman's way with Coleman trying to step around her. Coleman was shoved into a wall. The report later said that Richardson appeared to throw an item at Coleman, which the TSA indicated may have been headphones. In the police report, the officer said: "I was told Coleman did not want to participate any further in the investigation and declined to be a victim." Richardson won the 100 at the 2023 world championships in Budapest and finished with the silver at the Paris Games last summer. She had a positive positive marijuana test at the 2021 U.S. Olympic trials and didn't compete at the Tokyo Olympics.

Telangana sports conclave: Gagan Narang roots for grooming talent at grassroots level; Anju Bobby George wants all schools to have playgrounds
Hyderabad: Former Olympians Gagan Narang and Anju Bobby George on Saturday stressed that focusing on 'grassroots level and infrastructure is key to make India a sporting nation'. Speaking at a panel discussion, moderated by Charu Sharma at the Sports Conclave, the former marksman felt that 'the country is on the cusp of a sporting revolution but needs to tread the path carefully'. 'Having been the chef-de-mission of the Indian contingent in Paris Games, I saw very closely how teams and countries prepared for the Olympics. Often grassroots is the most neglected subject. If we focus only on elite athletes, who will work on unearthing the talent. Working with grassroots and elite athletes has a different mindset,' Gagan, who won a bronze medal at the London Olympics in 2012, said. You Can Also Check: Hyderabad AQI | Weather in Hyderabad | Bank Holidays in Hyderabad | Public Holidays in Hyderabad Anju, who won a bronze medal in long jump at the 2003 World Championships at Paris, reckoned that tapping talent from schools should be the priority. 'School is the place where one should look first. But the biggest challenge is most of the schools do not have playgrounds. Kids needed to be provided with facilities. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo Every school must have a ground and I feel that making sports a part of the curriculum is the way to go,' the 48-year-old star from Kerala said. Gagan also said that most of the athletes who won medals for the country have come from small centres. 'If you look at the medal winners from Paris Olympics like Saurabh Chaudhary or other athletes, they have come from small centres with proper coaching. We need infrastructure, we need the right kind of people at the right place to nurture talent. And if we can use 60% of the infrastructure that we have, we can achieve success,' he added. 'For athletics, we don't need big stadia. We need a track and proper coaching facilities. If we can have a coach who can nurture and nourish the athlete without injuries, they can go much ahead in their career," added Anju. However, lack of high-performance coaches and exposure to them are the biggest hindrances. 'We have coaches who can identify and nurture athletes. But we lack coaches who can make the athlete win medals at the Olympics or at the highest level. There is no exposure to the coaches,' explained Anju, who also participated in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. Meanwhile, Sumit Pandey, the COO of Dream Sports Foundation and Tathagata Mukherjee, the COO of Inspire Institute of Sports, said that corporates have a crucial role to play. 'While corporates are doing a bit with CSR already, we need private players to play a bigger role in establishing infrastructure at the lower strata,' Sumit added. Gagan, meanwhile, batted for new PPP model — policy, programme and performance — to produce champions. 'So, if we are able to build this PPP, then the other PPP (public, private partnership) I think will not be a challenge because the governance structure is in place. Credibility is in place. And, the performance is eventually going to come. I think this could be the first state that could implement PPP that's necessary," Gagan concluded.
