Athletics-Hughes completes sprint double with 200m victory at UK Championships
By Lori Ewing HT Image MANCHESTER, England, Aug 3 (Reuters) - Zharnel Hughes stormed to victory in the men's 200 metres at the UK Athletics Championships on Sunday in Birmingham to complete the sprint double and secure a spot in that event at next month's World Championships in Tokyo. Hughes, who won the 100m on Saturday, clocked 19.90 seconds to break the competition record, becoming the first runner to duck under the 20-second barrier at a British championship. "Winning the 100m yesterday was pretty cool, but I wanted the 200m title more," Hughes said. "My coach will get me a lot sharper for the Championships - I'm excited to see what I can do in Tokyo." Dina Asher-Smith held off newly-crowned 100m champion Amy Hunt to win a women's 200m that was determined by a photo finish, with both clocking 22.14, also a championship record. "It was an excellent race, we needed a photo-finish because neither of us knew who had won," Asher-Smith said. "But I am happy to come here and run a low-22, it is a fantastic time." Daryll Neita, who was disqualified for a false start in Saturday's 100m -- but is still eligible to race that distance in Tokyo, according to UK Athletics -- was third in 22.30, to secure the 200m world qualifying time. Max Burgin won the men's 800m in a fast 1:43.92, while Olympic 1500m bronze medallist Georgia Hunter Bell clocked 1:59.53 to win her first British women's 800m title. Hunter Bell is undecided whether she will run the 800m or 1500m or both in Tokyo. "How cool would it be to follow in the footsteps of the great British athletes like Seb Coe, Kelly Holmes, Steve Cram, who did double up, and were successful – it's hard to decide," she said. World 1500m champion Josh Kerr moved up to the 5,000m and raced to victory in 13:44.73. "It was always going to be tough out there over the last mile but I really enjoyed the first eight laps," Kerr said. "That was fun."

Centre unsure of T's Khelo India & Olympic bids
Hyderabad: Chief minister A Revanth Reddy is keen for Telangana to host the 2026 Khelo India games; however, the Centre has informed Parliament that it is currently unable to confirm the feasibility of this proposal. It also clarified that Telangana's Olympic bid falls under the authority of the Indian Olympic Association (IOA). In a reply to Congress MP Kiran Kumar Reddy, the sports ministry said, "To conduct the Khelo India games, the ministry designates a state as the host. Selection is based on the availability of essential resources, such as sports infrastructure, adequate hotel accommodation, smooth physical connectivity to the venues of different events, and various other technical requirements. Therefore, it is not possible at this stage to decide whether Telangana will be a host state for the future Khelo India Games. " Regarding Telangana's bid to host the Olympics, the ministry explained that the Olympic games in India are the responsibility of the IOA, and the allocation of hosting rights is made by the International olympic committee (IOC) through a detailed host selection process, which is publicly available.

The ministry also noted that the Telangana govt has submitted several proposals to improve sports infrastructure under the "creation and upgradation of sports infrastructure" component of the Khelo India scheme. These include the construction of a multipurpose sports complex (stadium), an all-weather swimming pool in Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district, and a synthetic 400m, 8-lane athletic track in the same district. Other proposals include an 8-lane synthetic athletic track with fencing, seating, and washrooms at Palamuru University campus, Mahabubnagar; a multipurpose hall at Satavahana University, Karimnagar.
