NANTERRE , FRANCE : Several days into an Olympic swim meet that has featured uncharacteristically sluggish times and a decided lack of world records, a potential problem has emerged: The water might be too shallow. The pool constructed on the customary site of a rugby pitch measures 2.2 meters deep, or roughly 7-feet-2, which means French basketball star Victor Wembanyama could comfortably stand in it. At recent Olympics, the pool has always been around 3 meters deep—a difference of nearly 3 feet.

IOC president, Pierre de Coubertin, once said women competing in the Games would be «impractical, uninteresting, unaesthetic and improper.» Over a century later, the 2024 Paris Olympic Games are targeting gender parity in the same city where women made their Olympic debut in 1900. The IOC set a goal of a 50-50 split among the more than 11,000 men and women, including backups, registered to compete from July 26 to Aug. 11. However, the latest numbers from the IOC suggest organizers might fall just short of that target. Slightly more medal events for men than women. There is still a slight edge toward men among the 329 medal events at the Paris Olympics. The IOC has said there are 157 men's events, 152 women's events and 20 mixed-gender events.

Paris Olympics less than two weeks away, a question hangs over the Games: Will the Seine River be clean enough for athletes to swim in? Triathlon and marathon swimming are scheduled to take place in the Seine, where it has been illegal to swim for more than a century. Despite the city's efforts to clean up the long-polluted river, the water has tested unsafe for humans in recent weeks, and cleaner on other days. The Games run from July 26-Aug. 11. To clean up the river, Paris invested 1.4 billion euros ($1.5 billion) in building infrastructure to catch more stormwater when it rains — the same water that contains bacteria-laden wastewater that enters the river during periods of heavy rain and makes it unsafe to swim in. In May, Paris officials inaugurated a giant underground water storage basin next to the Austerlitz train station aimed at collecting excess rainwater and stopping wastewater from entering the Seine. The basin can hold the equivalent of 20 Olympic swimming pools of dirty water that will now be treated and is the centerpiece of major infrastructure improvements that the city has rushed to finish in time for the Games, but to also ensure that Parisians have a cleaner Seine in years to come.

There are many businessmen who have a stake in India's fast-growing sports industry, but a very few with as varied a portfolio as that of Parth Jindal, founder and director of JSW Sports. A sports aficionado, Jindal says he is into it for a dream — a dream to see India becoming a force in the world of sport. Delhi Capitals may be the shiniest of all assets in his possession, but it is the Inspire Institute of Sport (IIS) in Bellary, Karnataka, that is his favourite.

We started supporting athletes from 2012 and started building this centre in 2014.

Shiv Sena MLA Pratap Sarnaik on Wednesday demanded action against a Mumbai-based college for banning students from wearing «jeans and T-shirts». The Chembur Trombay Education Society's N G Acharya and D K Marathe College, in the notice issued on June 27, banned students from wearing torn jeans, T-shirts, revealing dresses and jerseys, or a dress that «reveals religion or shows cultural disparity». The students should wear a formal and decent dress while on campus, it said. Speaking in the assembly, Sarnaik said the notice issued by the college was a «Talibani fatwa». More than 70 -80 per cent students wear jeans and jackets, he said. «Will you ban a swimming suit for a swimming competition and T-shirts, shorts for sports competitions?» the Sena legislator asked. The education minister should take action against the college authorities for the Talibani fatwa, Sarnaik added. Last month, the students of the same college moved the Bombay High Court, challenging the directive issued by the college imposing a dress code under which they cannot wear hijab, naqab, burka, stoles, caps and badges inside the premises. The high court on June 26 said a dress code is meant to maintain discipline which is part of the college's fundamental right to «establish and administer an educational institution».
