MP's Reena wins 2 karate silver medals at World Police Games in US
Reena showcased outstanding performance in both Kata and Kumite events. In Kumite, she triumphed over Brazilian officer Alencar before falling to the Philippines' officer Bejeramo in the final bout.
Talking to TOI, Reena shared her initial expectations: "I won the gold medal last year by defeating a player from the Philippines, but this year I had to settle for silver. I will try my best to win the gold medal again next year."
Her Kata performance saw her progress to the finals after defeating a South Korean competitor in the semi-finals, resulting in another silver medal.
Hailing from Rajgarh, Reena received training at the MP Martial Arts Academy between 2009 and 2012. "The academy did wonders for me. Whatever I learned from there helped me reach such a height. I am also a coach there now," she reflected. She attributes her success to family backing and commitment: "Whatever I am able to do today, I am able to do it only because of my family and discipline.

My mother and my sister supported me a lot.
Apart from this, I always maintained discipline in sports and practice."
Reena acknowledged academy support. "Without the support of the department, it was not possible to win this medal. The sports department has given me all kinds of support. The DGP and Director Sports have been very supportive to me." Her initial karate coaching came from Coach Jaidev Sharma during her academy tenure. "I can claim that the facilities being provided by the academy are some of the best available facilities in the country," she stated.
Having secured around 15 gold medals in national events, Reena maintains her focus on upcoming competitions after her World Police Games achievement. "I believe in performing wherever I play. I will keep doing that," she affirmed.

Watch: Ruben Neves, Cancelo break down; Neto carries special shirt in honour of Diogo Jota, Andre Silva
Pedro Neto, Joao Cancelo and Ruben Neves were emotional during their respective FIFA Club World Cup matches after the passing of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva. Al-Hilal players Ruben Neves and João Cancelo were inconsolable and broke down during a minute's silence in honour of their Portuguese teammate Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva who died in a car crash on Thursday. The minute's silence was held during the FIFA Club World Cup quarter-final match against Fluminense FC. In the day's second quarter-final, Chelsea's Pedro Neto carried a special shirt mentioning the names of Diogo and Andre while walking towards the pitch. The match marked the trio's first appearance since learning about the tragic incident in Spain involving their longtime teammate from Portugal. Neves and Cancelo were visibly emotional during the pre-match tributes, with Cancelo needing to pause and kneel on the grass when images of Jota and Andre appeared on the screen. Jota shared a significant history with both Neves and Cancelo, having played together for over six years in Portugal and celebrating a Nations League triumph. Neves and Jota also played together at Wolves in the Premier League before Jota's transfer to Liverpool in 2020. Al-Hilal's head coach Simone Inzaghi addressed the emotional impact of the situation on his players, stating: "We all know it's a very sad day because of what happened to Diogo and André. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo These things should never happen.

Ravi Shastri, Dinesh Karthik or Kumar Sangakkara? And the winner of the best dressed commentator goes to ...
L-R: Mike Atherton, Ravi Shastri, Nasser Hussain, Kumar Sangakkara (Pic credit: Shastri's X post) As the action on the field raged with gripping intensity during the second Test between India and England at Edgbaston, an equally spirited - albeit far more stylish - contest unfolded off the field among the Sky Sports commentary team. The prize? The coveted (and tongue-in-cheek) title of 'Best Dressed Commentator.' Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! With former players turned pundits in fine voice and finer threads, viewers were invited to judge the sartorial showdown. It sparked a wave of lighthearted banter, good-natured jibes, and classic English wit. Poll Do you enjoy the lighthearted banter among commentators during cricket matches? Absolutely! It's entertaining. Sometimes, it can be distracting. Not really, I prefer serious commentary. It began with Michael Atherton calling out his colleague Nasser Hussain for breaching dress code etiquette. 'In your three-quarter zip top. Breaking the dress code with no jacket and giving us all grief. Unbelievable,' Atherton said, taking aim at Nasser's casual fashion choice. But Nasser, ever the showman, hit back with a hilarious awards-style rundown: 'Right, the votes are in. At the bottom, by some distance, Michael Scruffy Atherton. One shirt, no iron. About as scruffy as they get. Second from bottom, Ian Ward. Third from bottom, mid-table mediocrity - me. Mark Butcher has slipped down. Then we have double-breasted Broad. But Kumar Sangakkara does it better.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Our one of a kind Patented Cold Water Extraction Process Superior Ginseng Undo He crowned Dinesh Karthik runner-up - disqualified from top spot due to 'the stripy shirt' - and declared the undisputed champion: Ravi Shastri .
