Javelin ace Annu confident of securing spot in Tokyo Worlds
The 32-year-old claimed the No 1 spot with an effort of 62.01. Rani, the 2022 Asian Games gold medallist, is naturally stoked with her effort. This is her second successive 60m-plus throw in a span of a few days. The national record holder from Uttar Pradesh had thrown a distance of 62.59m to capture the title at the World Athletics Continental Tour bronze level meet just a few days back.
"I'm happy with my performance today (Sunday), though my first throw was 52.74m, but gradually in my fourth attempt I touched 62.01m. My 60m-plus throw earlier this week (August 6) in Europe has given a big boost to my confidence," Annu said.

Indian surfers get two more quotas for 2026 Asian Games
The Indian surfing team secured two additional quotas for the 2026 Asian Games, with a spot each for men and women, after its impressive campaign at the Asian Surfing Championships (ASC) 2025 in Mamallapuram recently. India now has four quotas — two men, two women — for the upcoming Asian Games in Japan where surfing is set to make its debut. The country had already clinched two slots at the 2024 ASC held in the Maldives. 'Five years ago, India was absent from the Asian surfing rankings. Today, we are competing shoulder-to-shoulder with the best in the continent. Our journey continues with a clear goal: make a strong mark at the Asian Games in Japan,' said Arun Vasu, president, Surfing Federation of India, at the closing ceremony. India's ASC 2025 campaign was headlined by Ramesh Budihal, who secured a bronze in the men's open, the first individual medal for the country at the continental stage. Three Indians made it to the quarterfinals for the first time, and two reached the semifinals — Budihal and Kishore Kumar. India (1785) finished third in the men's open team rankings, behind Indonesia (1980) and South Korea (1800). The women's open podium had Japan (1860) on top, followed by Indonesia (1670) and Thailand (1608). The host finished eighth (1200). The medal winners of all categories, including boys' under-18 and girls' under-18, were felicitated.

Athletes' verdict: Odisha best place to compete in India, says 18-year-old Abinaya Rajarajan
BHUBANESWAR: 18-year-old Abinaya Rajarajan couldn't believe that she had won the women's 100m at the World Athletics Continental Tour Bronze level meet at Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar. But more than the performance what left her speechless was the crowd that came in numbers and filled up the stadium. During the Federation Cup last year, when double Olympic medallist Neeraj Chopra came down here, the crowd was sparse to say the least. But this time around, it was just the opposite. They were loud, colourful and boisterous, not something you would associate with the athletics events in the country and it naturally left a mark on the girl from Tamil Nadu. 'Odisha is the best place to compete in India because it's the first time I'm seeing this many audiences. It's even more than what we saw during the Neera Chopra classic. At first, though, I got very nervous because of so many people but I'm very happy that so many people came to watch us,' said Rajrajan, who was also part of the 4x100m relay team that won silver at the Asian Athletics Championships. Although she spoke of nervousness, there was nothing in sight during the race as she blazed to victory in 11.57s ahead of Shena SS and Nithya Gandhe – both of whom crossed the finishing line in 11.70 seconds. Besides India's U18 and U20 national record holder, others, too, were overjoyed seeing the turnout, including the likes of Annu Rani, who won the women's javelin event with a throw of 62.01m. She said it was the best event that she had ever participated in and the broad smile at the end of her event said it all. Meanwhile, another athlete who just couldn't believe her eyes was Odisha's very own Pragyan Prasanti Sahu. The 25-year-old won the 100m hurdles in a time of 13.74 seconds after Nithya Ramraj crashed with the third-last hurdle while leading the race. Speaking after the event, she said, 'It was amazing to participate in front of the home crowd. I was carrying an injury and wasn't supposed to run but my coach told me to go for it because this is my home ground and I'm so happy to have achieved the win.' While most of the athletes made good use of the energetic crowd, it wasn't the same for Lalu Prasad Bhoi. 'During the 100m final, there were lots of delays because the crowd wasn't going silent since the other events were going on. It's not their fault but the delays did affect my performance,' said a disgruntled Bhoi, who finished fourth with a timing of 10.54 seconds. Hopefully, he will learn from this experience and make sure he is able to perform even when the conditions are not in his favour.
