The decision came less than 24 hours after the Court of Arbitration for Sport voided a scoring appeal made by Team USA coach Cecile Landi during the competition that had vaulted Chiles onto the podium.

sports teams in India saw an up to threefold surge in earnings in 2023-24, with cricket dominating the table, according to the latest filings of their owners such as Reliance Industries, United Spirits, Tata Steel and RPSG Ventures. These companies, which run the sports teams as business ventures through subsidiaries, benefited from a larger central revenue pool of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), showed the filings. The revenue pool mainly comprises money earned by the BCCI from selling the broadcasting rights and a portion of it is shared among the Indian Premier League (IPL) teams. For instance, the total income of Reliance Industries' wholly owned subsidiary Indiawin Sports, which owns the Mumbai Indians cricket team, more than doubled to ₹737 crore in 2023-24 from ₹359 crore in the previous fiscal. The company's net profit was ₹110 crore, compared to a net loss of ₹49 crore in 2022-23. The central rights accounted for three-fourths of the revenue in 2023-24, while nearly 22% came from ticketing sales, said the annual report of Reliance Industries.

athletes with awe, to catch a glimpse of citius, altius, forties and all that stuffius. We follow the Olympics to do INDIAAAA-INDIA! And in the process if we catch something that is sportingly wonderful, well, we get lucky, whether we know it or not. Let's face it, despite the once-in-four years suppressed supply-heightened demand coverage, the Olympics as a spectator sporting event isn't as popular in this day and age of multiple fan loyalty as 'viewership' would suggest. In football, for instance, there was a time when the Indian football fan was content following the national team — and his local club, if he was Malayali, Bengali or Punjabi. Other sports that Indian fans followed were hockey and cricket — the former represented almost solely by the national squad, the latter overwhelmingly by the Indian team, and for more serious enthusiasts of the game, by national tournaments like the Ranji Trophy. The nation was pretty much the only side we had to follow.

Taapsee Pannu and Imane Khelif have in common? Answer: the Indian actor and the Algerian boxer have both been targeted by misogynists at the Paris Olympics, although for reasons that are poles apart. Khelif is being humiliated by a global army of trolls — including the most famous troll of all, Harry Potter author JK Rowling — who have been questioning her identity as a woman after a match in which she made short shrift of her Italian opponent. She is a man disguised as a woman, they alleged. Pannu, meanwhile, was criticised after visuals emerged of her lustily cheering Indian badminton players coached by her husband, Mathias Boe. She distracted them, she obstructed spectators' view, she's an attention-seeker, she is a panauti (ill-omen), she is unpatriotic — the list of charges against her on social media was long.

Paris Olympics 2024: The world is eagerly awaiting the much-anticipated closing ceremony.
