Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Leads Global Dialogue at The WFEB's 7th World Summit on Ethics and Leadership in Sports
Bengaluru: Ethical violations in pursuit of records and legacy in sports have been a serious concern in recent times, often drawing scrutiny and denting the trust of viewers. At the same time, there is ample evidence of how sportsmanship, sporting excellence, and ethics uplift the spirit of a game, unify and inspire an entire generation. The 7th World Summit on Ethics and Leadership in Sports, organized by World Forum for Ethics in Business, drew global voices from sports, politics, business, academia, NGOs, and think tanks, in a thoughtful exchange of ideas on whether success can truly endure if values are compromised; and what it takes to win with integrity in a high-pressure world. The summit hosted compelling discussions on sports as a tool for peace-building, gender parity, mental health, peak performance and longevity, and what it takes to be the best not just in sports but in life and leadership. It also explored how lessons from the field, like fair play, team spirit, and endurance, can shape ethical leadership in politics and business. 'In sports, you either win or you make others win,' Gurudev shared in his keynote. 'We must learnt to celebrate both. The very act of playing brings joy,' Gurudev shared. 'When we understand this, we remain ethical in sports naturally; otherwise, we find sporting arenas turn violent.* Talking about the role of mental health, Gurudev shared, 'A baby starts playing before it even starts to walk. Sports being so natural to us, where have we gone wrong today?' pointing to the fact that despite sports and music, one-third of the world's population is feeling lonely, depressed, and unhappy, and 'this is something to think about.' 'If we can take the whole life as a sport,' Gurudev further said, 'there will be no war in the world, no heartburns, and no mistrust.' The other distinguished speakers included Kaamya Karthikeyan, the 17-year-old mountaineering prodigy who has summited the highest peaks on all seven continents; Kevin Young, Olympic gold medalist and former 400m hurdles world record holder; Hon. Svyatoslav Yurash, Member of Parliament, Ukraine; Honey Thaljieh, Palestinian football pioneer; Thomas Helmer, Euro '96 champion and TV personality; and Divyakriti Singh, India's first female equestrian to win a gold at the Asian Games. Here's the full list of speakers: ) Bringing attention to the role that sports can play in breaking barriers and empowering marginalized communities, Honey Thaljieh, the first captain of the Palestinian women's football team, remarked, 'Performance without purpose is hollow. Success without ethics is fragile. And power without responsibility is dangerous. True success is not just about the trophies we lift, but the lives we lift along the way…Because sport does not exist in isolation. It reflects the society.' In a unique session, panelists explored the emergence of the Enhanced Games, which allow athletes to use performance-enhancing substances under medical supervision. Some said it is the future of human achievement, while others saw it as an ethical collapse. The Ethics in Sports Awards recognized performances that set a benchmark in sportsmanship and ethics. The Outstanding Individual Award was conferred upon Xherdan Shaqiri, international football star, for 'his longstanding commitment to integration, fairness, and intercultural dialogue through sport.' Outstanding Contribution to Mental Health in Sports was awarded to Jeannine Gmelin, an elite Swiss rower, for her advocacy of mental health, fairness in sport, and support to young female athletes. The World Forum for Ethics in Business, with special consultative status at the United Nations, has been at the forefront of ethical advocacy for over two decades. Under Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's vision, WFEB has partnered with global institutions like the European Parliament, FIFA, the Max Planck Institute, and the UN in Geneva to promote the message that values and performance are not opposites—but inseparable allies.

Sprinting icon and eight-time Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt made a surprise courtside appearance during Sunday's matchup between the Las Vegas Aces and Dallas Wings. What followed was a heartwarming set of moments as WNBA stars Paige Bueckers and A'ja Wilson shared emotional fan interactions with the fastest man on earth, setting the arena abuzz beyond the scoreboard. Usain Bolt brings star power to the WNBA, sparks reactions from Paige Bueckers and A'ja Wilson Before tipoff, Dallas Wings rookie Paige Bueckers had a 'bucket list' moment. The 22-year-old point guard approached Bolt with a big smile and got his autograph on her jersey. The official Dallas Wings account shared the heartwarming clip on X, highlighting the meeting. Although Bueckers didn't suit up due to the team's cautious load management strategy, her excitement was hard to miss. A'ja Wilson also had her own fangirl moment during pregame warmups.

The Las Vegas Aces routed Dallas 106-80, handing the Wings their 19th loss of the season. With Bueckers sidelined — missing her sixth game due to injury management — Dallas lacked offensive rhythm and leadership on the floor.

Tour de France finale brings excitement to Montmartre with a climb to Sacré-Coeur
A cycling frenzy swept through Montmartre on Sunday as tens of thousands of fans greeted Tour de France riders during the final stage of the sport's biggest race. HT Image Hours before the peloton was due to arrive, spectators had already packed the Parisian neighborhood — once bohemian, now bustling with tourists — eager to secure a prime spot to watch riders climb the iconic hill during the final stage of the race. When the peloton finally neared the steep and cobbled Rue Lepic, the area erupted into a deafening roar. The Tour broke with tradition this year as organizers looked to build on the popular success of the Paris Olympic road race. During last year's Olympics, massive crowds lined the streets of Montmartre — the area in northern Paris famous for its artistic heritage and sweeping city views — to cheer on riders. Inspired by the frenetic atmosphere, Tour organizers decided to include the Montmartre climb in this summer's route. And it paid off. Spectators began arriving early Sunday on the Rue Lepic, well before Tadej Pogačar — who won his fourth Tour title on Sunday — and his rivals were expected to tackle the steep ascent. Fans also filled the stairs beneath the Sacré-Coeur to ensure they didn't miss a moment of the action. The festive atmosphere echoed with clapping and songs from enthusiastic fans. 'La, la, la, la, la, la, la Kevin Vauquelin!' chanted some spectators in polka-dot T-shirts winding up Rue Lepic, cheering the French rider best placed in the general classification. Meanwhile, others took to the street on their alpine skis for a moment of fun, having put their winter sports equipment out. Riders ascended the hill three times and passed beneath the Sacré-Coeur basilica before heading to the finish on the Champs-Élysées. Despite the rain making the roads slippery and dangerous, Pogačar attacked on all three ascents but he couldn't respond when stage winner Wout van Aert countered him. The peloton passed the Moulin Rouge before climbing to the Butte Montmartre. To mark the occasion, dancers in tricolor costumes performed a French Cancan outside the cabaret. Traditionally, the final stage is largely processional until a sprint decides the day's winner on the Champs-Elysées. But on Sunday, the final climb came about 7 kilometers from the finish and sprinters could not contend for the stage win. Only five riders were left with Pogačar on the third ascension of the 1.1-kilomete hill. During the Olympics, the road races drew more than 500,000 spectators in Paris. Last year's Tour concluded outside Paris for the first time since 1905 because of a scheduling conflict with the Olympics, with the final stage held in Nice. The Champs-Élysées returned this year for the conclusion of the 3,320-kilometer (2,060-mile) race. ___ AP cycling:
