Badminton World Championships: Lakshya Sen Faces World No 1 In Opener As Indians Handed Tough Draws
Last Updated: In women's singles, PV Sindhu, a five-time medallist at the event, has a relatively easy first round. Lakshya Sen will begin his campaign against world No. 1 Shi Yu Qi of China as Indian shuttlers received challenging draws for the World Championships starting on August 25. This will mark the fifth meeting between the two shuttlers, with Shi holding a superior 3-1 lead in their head-to-head record against the Indian, who won a bronze medal in the 2021 edition of the tournament. Former Commonwealth Games gold medallist Lakshya has struggled to regain his form since his semifinal loss at the Paris Olympics last year. The 23-year-old from Almora, currently ranked 21, has faced consistency issues this season, achieving only a quarterfinal finish at the All England. Lakshya has shown glimpses of his potential but has struggled to close out key matches this season. Another men's singles bronze medallist, HS Prannoy, will start against the lower-ranked Joakim Oldorff of Finland. However, a likely second-round clash with world No. 2 Anders Antonsen of Denmark awaits the world No. 34 Indian. In women's singles, PV Sindhu, the most successful Indian shuttler in the tournament and a five-time medallist, has a relatively easy first round. She begins her campaign against world No. 66 Kaloyana Nalbantova of Bulgaria. However, the two-time Olympic medallist and 2019 champion, who has also struggled for form recently, could meet world No. 2 Wang Zhi Yi of China in the round of 16. For Sindhu, now ranked 15, a quarterfinal appearance at the India Open remains her best result this year. The 30-year-old former world champion has suffered multiple early exits. The top Indian men's doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty have received a first-round bye. In the second round, they will face either compatriots Hariharan Amsakarunan and Ruben Kumar, or Chinese Taipei's Liu Kuang Heng and Yang Po Han. But a potential round-of-16 clash looms against world No. 6 Liang Wei Keng and Wang Chang, who lead the Indians 6-2 in head-to-head meetings. If they get past the Chinese duo, Satwik and Chirag could encounter their long-time foes, Malaysia's Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik, who have beaten them 11 times in 14 encounters, including the Paris Olympic quarterfinals. However, it has been a season of steady performances for the world No. 3 pair, who have reached the semifinals at the India Open, Singapore Open, and Malaysia Open, as well as the quarterfinals at the Indonesia Open.

India In Dialogue With IOC Despite 'Pause' In 2036 Olympics Host Selection Process
Last Updated: The Indian Olympic Association has already submitted its Expression of Interest to host the 2036 Olympics. New International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Kirsty Coventry has announced that the entire Olympic host selection process is being paused and a working group is being established to determine the 'appropriate time" to identify a future host. However, Indian Olympic Association (IOA) CEO Raghuram Iyer mentioned that they have been in contact with the IOC despite the 'pause" in the whole process. The IOA has already submitted its Expression of Interest to host the 2036 Olympics. 'We are in continuous dialogue, meaning that today I can pick up the phone and ask the IOC if there are any doubts. They (IOC) can call us and check on certain things. They have decided to pause and reflect. They are trying to figure out how they want to approach the idea of allotting the Olympics. They want to re-examine it," Iyer said. 'When we met them, it was like a workshop on what we need to do, with a lot of focus on sustainability, diversity, equal opportunity, and more women participating. There is a lot of discussion on all these topics," he added. When asked when a 2036 Olympics Bid Committee will be formed, he said, 'I think everything will be formed now. There are only certain contours of the committee. You will hear about it soon." The IOA General Body unanimously approved India's bid for the 2030 CWG, with the country emerging as a favourite to host the event. Iyer stated that if India secures the hosting rights, they will ensure the event is technology-driven, incorporating Artificial Intelligence. 'The focus for the Commonwealth Sport (formerly CGF) and for us is also on sustainability, and the legacy of the Games will benefit the host city and the country. The 2030 CWG will be technology-driven with a strong emphasis on incorporating AI," he said. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
