Mirabai Chanu gave India a great start at the Commonwealth Games 2022 by winning the country's first gold medal in the mega event. Chanu lifted a total of 201 kg to win the yellow metal in women's 49kg weightlifting event. Chanu, who had won the gold medal at the 2018 CWG in Gold Coast in Australia, was miles ahead of the competition as she picked up 88kg in snatch and 113 kg in clean and jerk. Due to her excellent performance in the snatch round, which saw her set the new Commonwealth record, Mirabai needed to just complete her first attempt in the clean and jerk round and she did it with aplomb, lifting 105kg. After the CWG, Mirabai Chanu got together with her family and celebrated her birthday.

“Reason Why I Play Tennis”: Teen Stars Hail Serena Williams As Inspirational Game Changer | Tennis News
Teen stars Coco Gauff and Emma Raducanu hailed Serena Williams as an inspiration and a game-changing tennis legend on Tuesday, hours after the 23-time Grand Slam champion revealed impending retirement plans. World number 11 Gauff, inspired to play tennis by Williams, said she was shocked to hear her say the "countdown has begun" to departure for an icon who can motivate another generation of superstars. "The legacy that she has left through her tennis career is something that I don't think any other player can probably touch," Gauff said. "It is something that can inspire many more generations. "I grew up watching her -- that's the reason why I play tennis." Williams became an African American icon in a mostly white sport, just as Gauff is starting to do with two titles at age 19, and Gauff reminded fans that Williams is far from fading away even if her days in competitive tennis are nearing an end at age 40. "I mean, she's not dead but people are talking about it like … [Read more...] about “Reason Why I Play Tennis”: Teen Stars Hail Serena Williams As Inspirational Game Changer | Tennis News

Antonio Conte says there is a big gap between Tottenham and Chelsea and calls for time to rebuild Spurs
Antonio Conte felt the gap between Tottenham and Chelsea was clear to see as his side slipped to a disappointing 2-0 Carabao Cup semi-final first leg defeat. The result leaves Tottenham with a mountain to climb in next Wednesday's second leg if they are to keep alive their chances of winning their first trophy for almost 14 years. Spurs, who didn't have a shot in the first 45 minutes, slightly improved after the interval, and Harry Kane's drilled free-kick forced a solid stop from Kepa Arrizabalaga - but it was one of very few chances. Conte told Sky Sports : "It was a difficult game, from the start. Chelsea showed they were much better than us. In the first half, we struggled a lot but we know that we're talking about one of the best teams in Europe and in the world.

Alyssa Healy Clarifies Her ‘Salty’ Tweet After Being Brutally Trolled By Indian Fans
Sydney: Australia women’s cricket team captain and wife of pacer Mitchell Starc Alyssa Healy found herself in hot soup after she posted a photo of a boat which had ‘salty’ written on it after Australia women defeated India women in the final of the Commonwealth Games 2022.

Issuing a clarification, Healy asked the fans to ‘relax’ and ‘stop trying to read anything into it’ “Relax everyone. It’s a photo of a boat in the water with the name Salty. I thought it was clever.
