Noah Lyles eyes creative ventures and track dominance by 2028 LA Olympics
The 28-year-old sprinter is looking beyond the track, with aspirations to make his mark in the entertainment industry. 'I expect to do a lot of things outside the track. I've started a new production company, so probably having a few shows out in the world, something to with the track, some probably not. Maybe making a cartoon movie made about sport will be cool,' he said.

On the athletic front, Lyles, who will be 32 after the LA 2028 Olympics, has set lofty goals. He envisions either 'taking over the track world or have three Olympic gold medals by then', possibly even starting his own track and field league.
Lyles recently returned to competition at the Monaco Diamond League, where he secured a first-place finish in the 200m. He acknowledged the challenges of being sidelined but expressed his satisfaction at being back on the circuit ahead of the World Championships in Tokyo this September.

Shooting League of India promises to trigger innovation
The inaugural Shooting League of India (SLI) could pave the way for innovation, making the competition crisp, capturing the emotion and drama of the athletes, and making it attractive for the fans who enjoy watching sports. The president of the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF), Luciano Rossi, and the president of the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI), Kalikesh Singh Deo, promised to help the game evolve in a healthy, ethical, and interesting way as they addressed the media online on Monday. Collaboration 'For the first edition of the league, we work together with India. It will be a great success,' assured Rossi, from his home in Italy, as he fondly pulled out a photo to recall his association with Dr. Karni Singh, the first Indian to win a World Championship medal in shooting. 𝙎𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙣𝙚𝙭𝙩 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙢𝙥𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙖𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙨𝙚𝙚𝙣 🏅💙# — Shooting League Of India (@SLI_Live) July 22, 2025 'We are in an advanced stage of negotiations with the sponsors, broadcasters. We expect to finalise and make the announcements by the end of September or early October,' said Kalikesh. Rossi and Kalikesh agreed that it was important to help the fans understand what the shooter was going through and appreciate the remarkable levels of accuracy being achieved in the sport. Change in format 'For too long, we had forgotten to show what we are. It was a big mistake. We are working towards a better format for the Los Angeles Olympics. It will be athlete first. We are collecting new ideas. We are close to change, without forgetting the spirit of the sport. Having finals that were too long, without emotion and drama, was not good for the sport,' conceded the ISSF president. Kalikesh observed that the vision for the shooting league was to have better visibility for the sport and gain commercial and financial support for the shooters, both domestic and international. 'We can do a lot with the league,' said Kalikesh, asserting that the evolution of the sport in a more viewer-friendly avatar could be the way forward, even though shooting has done well to retain its 15 events across pistol, rifle and shotgun sections, offering a total of 45 medals in the Olympics, despite new games jumping into the bandwagon.

Who's Afraid of a Little Bacteria? Not These Swimmers in Paris.
PARIS—The promise of a swim in a cleaned-up Seine was an enticing bribe for Parisians forced to put up with the throngs of tourists who descended on their city for last year's Olympics. But floating next to Notre Dame or the Eiffel Tower is less magical when it rains. It's not even possible. The day after the river opened to public swimming for the first time since 1923, officials hoisted a red flag and promptly closed it again. Water-quality tests showed rainfall upstream had led to a high concentration of bacteria. Swimming resumed a few days later when the weather cleared, but then the city had to evacuate the swimming site near the Eiffel Tower. A lifeguard had fished out what was later identified by police as an animal lung of an as yet unspecified species. In all, the three Seine swimming spots have been closed roughly half the time since the river was reopened July 5, leading at times to long lines when they are open, and some doubts as to whether doing the breaststroke in the Seine is a particularly good idea in the first place. 'It is a little tempting, but I'm scared of getting eczema,' said Pauline Mussat. The 32-year-old dentist had joined the crowds watching bathers take a dip near the picturesque Île Saint-Louis. 'I think I'll send Laurent first,' she said with a smile, nodding toward the young man sitting next to her. Local authorities invested more than $1 billion to clean up the river for the 2024 Olympics, when the Seine hosted several events. It wasn't easy; swimming in the river had been banned for over a century because of growing traffic and worsening pollution. In Paris, rainwater flows into the sewage system. During heavy cloudbursts, the system used to often reach capacity and overflow into the Seine, officials say. To limit sewage pollution, authorities built a massive underground storage tank in the heart of the city to store water during storms. It is designed to hold as much as 13.2 million gallons, about 20 Olympic pools' worth. Local government workers have also gone door-to-door to persuade thousands of homeowners to connect their wastewater pipes to the sewer system instead of flushing directly into the Seine or one of its tributaries, the Marne, as is sometimes still the case. About half of the plumbing issues have been fixed. The upshot of cleanup efforts, which ramped up in recent years after decades of work, is that there has been a 10-fold increase in the numbers of fish species in the Seine, including a six-foot-long catfish. In January, researchers even found three rare species of freshwater mussels that are extremely sensitive to pollution. Plenty of Parisians and tourists have decided the water is good enough for them, too. 'I have zero worries,' Kathleen Lang, a 51-year-old Australian nurse on vacation in France, said on a recent Friday. Lang waited patiently outside the swimming area near the Eiffel Tower. The site had opened late that day because of what officials tactfully called a 'pollution cloud,' moving through the river from cities upstream. Eventually, Lang slipped into waters teeming with anchovy-sized fish, along with around 200 people. The three free sites, open until Aug. 31 as part of the annual Paris Plages, have space for nearly 1,000 people. Weather and pollution permitting, they are open most of the day—except for the one near Île Saint-Louis, which is closed weekday afternoons for tourist boats. Showers and lockers are provided. Swimmers float leisurely, chat in groups as they tread water—and a few even attempt laps. The only river traffic here is other people and the mandatory yellow floating devices. Lifeguards stand on newly built wooden docks, where some swimmers sunbathe. From time to time, lifeguards ask them to either go back in the water or leave to make room for those waiting outside in line. Megyn Price, a 54-year-old American actress, had to reassure her daughter back home about any potential health risk before getting in the water. But she had no regrets. 'It's just so beautiful to see the city from that angle, I thought I might cry,' Price said after her swim. Parisian Caroline Gastaud-Nucera had been dreaming of swimming in the Seine since she was a child, listening to her grandparents tell stories about bathing in the river. 'The water is astonishingly clear, I can see my feet,' the 54-year-old lawyer said, looking down at her red-painted toe nails as the slow-moving Seine slipped by. Water quality can vary significantly depending on the weather. After heavy rainfall, sensors installed to test water quality in real time showed a high concentration of E. coli. Most strains of the bacteria are harmless, but a high concentration indicates possible fecal contamination, which makes a welcome home for norovirus and other illness-inducing viruses. 'It will never be like a municipal swimming pool,' said Paris deputy mayor for sports Pierre Rabadan. 'There are natural hazards that we'll never be able to control.' While the new tank is working well, the main problem is cities upstream. Without their own tanks, some continue to discharge wastewater after rainfall, officials said, and it can take hours to pass through the capital. 'There will always be days when it rains and we can't go swimming,' said Marc Guillaume, the prefect of the Paris region. The city plans to allow river swimming every year, though the locations may change. Some Parisians suspect they'll never take the plunge. 'It's already much cleaner, that's for sure. But go swimming in it? No way,' said Sylvie Boucher, a Paris-based engineer, as she watched people entering the water. 'I admire them, they're very brave,' she said, before adding she would recommend a heavy dose of antibiotics to anyone taking a dip. Write to Noemie Bisserbe at and Eve Hartley at
