For years, KBC has been a platform where contestants answer questions on various topics such as current events, entertainment, sports, geography, and history to win cash prizes. Lifelines have always been a crucial part of the game, providing much-needed help when contestants are unsure of an answer. However, this season brings a significant twist with the introduction of the 'Super Sawaal' segment.

PARIS – Canada’s team in Paris was on pace for a record Olympic Games at halftime after a mortifying soccer scandal that began before the eco-flame was even lit in Jardin des Tuileries.

Olympics organizers said Sunday that arbitrary testing imposed on boxers Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-Ting that led to a storm of vitriol misidentifying the women as transgender or men was «so flawed that it's impossible to engage with it.» International Olympic Committee spokesman Mark Adams again vigorously defended Khelif of Algeria and Lin of Taiwan, hammering the sport's now-banned governing body, the International Boxing Association, that claimed the fighters failed unspecified eligibility tests for women's competition. The two athletes were «carted off and tested» during the 2023 boxing world championships because «there were suspicions against them,» Adams said, slamming the process that singled them out. «I need hardly say if we start acting on suspicions against every athlete of whatever, then we go down a very bad route,» he said. He rejected the testing in its entirety.

Vinesh Phogat will have to shake off a tumultuous build-up to the Paris Games when she takes mat, aiming for an elusive Olympic medal, while five of her colleagues will also strive to write their own success stories at the biggest stage when the wrestling event begins here Monday. Vinesh is easily India's most accomplished woman wrestler, with two World Championships, three CWG and eight Asian Championships medals adorning her cabinet, but her previous two Olympic campaigns have ended in heartbreaks. She had returned from Rio (2016) with just a broken leg, but from Tokyo (2021), she came back with her soul scarred after a crushing defeat 'by fall' in the quarterfinals. She was accused of misconduct and suspended by the WFI for several alleged transgressions. She claimed to have endured bouts of depression, and she was not sure of returning to the mat but she did. Not only she returned but also waged a battle outside the mat when she accused the WFI chief of sexual misconduct.

countries are winning most of the Olympic medals every two years, that's because it's largely true. Even though more than 150 countries and territories have claimed a medal since the modern Games began in 1896, the list of winners is top-heavy. Entering the Paris Summer Games, the United States has the most, by far, with 2,975 medals, according to the International Olympic Committee's research wing. A group of usual suspects follow: the former Soviet Union (1,204), Germany (1,058), Great Britain (955), France (898). Nearly 70 countries and territories, though — roughly a third of the parade of nations — cannot boast an Olympic medalist in any discipline, summer or winter. Some, like South Sudan, which sent its first team to the Olympics in 2016, have only just begun trying. Others, like Monaco, have been at it for more than a century.

Ur, possibly the oldest board game in the world, discovered in a 4,400-year-old royal tomb in Mesopotamia in the 1930s. Mukherjee has a replica he got from the British Museum in London. “It’s a fairly simple two-person game but the rules were discovered much later," he says.

sports division and its employees will be absorbed into the India Premier League (IPL) franchise Chennai Super Kings Cricket Ltd (CSKCL), said people close to the development.

Manu Bhaker and Jaspal Rana, the pupil and the teacher, are likely to agree given how their reunion has turned out to be. Bhaker, who had already won two bronze medals, narrowly missed out on a historic treble at the Paris Olympics on Saturday. In a high-quality final, Bhaker gave it her all and was placed No.1 among eight shooters for a brief period. However, she could not maintain her consistency and eventually finished fourth after losing a bronze medal shootoff against Hungarian Veronika Major in the women’s 25m sports pistol event. The 22-year-old shot 28 in the final to be tied at third place. In the tiebreaker, she missed two of the five shots to aggregate three points, while opponent got four shots on the target to clinch the third spot. All this seems like a dream after what happened in Tokyo three years ago.

women boxers at the centre of a gender row at the Paris Olympics took up the sport to escape from bullies: Lin Yu-ting had an abusive father while Imane Khelif was roughed up by boys in her village. Both find themselves embroiled in a global maelstrom that has sparked reaction from US presidential candidate Donald Trump, Harry Potter author J.K Rowling and a host of commentators. Online, they have been subjected to «an awful lot of abuse», Mark Adams, spokesman for the International Olympic Committee, said on Friday.

BMX riders, and she can quickly recount some of her career totals: 18 world championships, two Olympic gold medals in racing (in 2012 and 2016) and one silver, in Tokyo in 2021. But Pajón, a Colombian, can also rattle off the much more painful totals of the cost of so much riding: 25 fractures, 12 screws, eight surgeries and countless tears of ligaments and tendons. The medical hardware in her left arm and knee included so much metal that she used to travel with her X-rays. Opening a door or serving a glass of water hurts. “My joints are of an 80-plus-year-old,” Pajón said with a laugh. She is 32. Pajón, who has been racing competitively since she was 4, wasn’t lamenting her injuries during a recent conversation. They are simply a fact of life for an athlete. Wear and tear naturally degrades human bodies, even the most talented ones. But performing at the elite level, especially in high-impact Olympic sports such as wrestling, rugby or gymnastics, inherently has more risks. Shoulders give out. Ligaments tear. And, for some, metal screws and titanium plates become just more hardware in the lifelong pursuit of gold, silver and bronze.

gender debate). However, once boxer extraordinaire Imane Khelif was living at the fringes of the society, selling bread on the streets. Khelif, who sparked global outrage when she overpowered her opponent in 46 seconds, as well as an invasive discourse on her gender identity recently talked about having a rough childhood. In an interview with the Algerian TV channel Canal Algerie, the boxer said that she faced many hurdles early in her career, as many of her family members were opposed to her pursuing this profession. “I come from a conservative region and family. Boxing was a sport dedicated only to men,” she told the channel.

Manu Bhaker on Saturday said she was a bit nervous during the 25m sports pistol final as she finished fourth to miss out on an unprecedented third individual medal at the Olympics here on Saturday. «I got like really nervous about it, but again, I was trying my best to keep calm and to just try to do my best. But that was not enough,» Manu said after the event. The 22-year-old had earlier bagged two bronze medals, in women's 10m air pistol and 10m air pistol mixed team event partnering Sarabjot Singh.

Manu Bhaker missed the third medal in the Olympics. She finished at the fourth spot at the 25m sports pistol event with 28 points at the Chateauroux shooting range. The 22-year-old, already the first Indian athlete to win two bronze medals in a single edition of the Olympics, secured a spot in the final by placing second in the qualification rounds on Friday. Bhaker dominated both the 'precision' and 'rapid' rounds in the qualification phase, achieving an aggregate score of 590. This performance placed her just behind Hungary's Veronika Major, who equaled the Olympic record with a score of 592. In the medal event Manu Bhaker was eliminated by Veronika Major, who secured the Bronze medal with 31 points. Bhaker's resurgence in form can be credited to her reunion with former shooter-turned-coach Jaspal Rana. She has already earned two bronze medals at these Games: one in the 10m women's air pistol and another in the 10m air pistol mixed team event alongside Sarabjot Singh.

India's Manu Bhaker narrowly missed out on a podium finish, placing fourth in the women's 25m pistol final in the ongoing Paris Olympics. The 22-year-old Bhaker shot 28 in the eight-women final. She lost to Hungarian bronze medallist Veronika Major in the shoot-off. Bhaker's third-medal achievement was highly anticipated. She had already secured two bronze medals in — the 10m air pistol and the 10m air pistol mixed team events with partner Sarabjot Singh.

Manu Bhaker has still scripted history in Paris by becoming the first Indian player to play for three Olympic medals in one single Olympic edition and winning two. Prior to 25m event, the young shooter had won a bronze in the 10m air pistol shooting as well as another bronze in mixed 10 m air pistol shooting with Sarabjot Singh at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. The essential achievement marks Bhaker's redemption story after she faced a disappointing setback with a malfunctioning pistol at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.

Manu Bhaker is on the brink of securing a historic third successive medal at the ongoing Paris Olympics. Bhaker has positioned herself as a top contender in the 25m sports pistol competition after finishing second in the qualifications with an impressive score of 590. Given her status as the reigning world champion in the 25m category, a third-medal finish appears highly likely. The athlete from Jhajjar, Haryana, has already claimed bronze medals in both the 10m air pistol and the 10m air pistol mixed team events, partnering with Sarabjot Singh.

Imane Khalif has become the target of politicians, and rabble-rousers and has become the focus of one of the most polarised cultural debates — the inclusion of trans people in sports. After the Algerian boxer defeated her Italian counterpart, Angela Carini in the boxing ring at the Paris Olympics, her victory sparked a global outrage as she was assumed to be a trans woman. Khelif emerged victorious when Carini conceded merely 46 seconds into their welterweight match after enduring several blows to the face. Following Carini's Round of 16 bout in Paris, the Italian Prime Minister criticized the International Olympic Committee (IOC), stating, «Given the testosterone levels in the Algerian athlete's blood, it’s evident that the competition was unfair from the beginning.» In a social media post, American politician Donald Trump promised to ban men from women's sports.
