But then came the viral moment. As Triple H exited the White House, he performed his legendary water spit pose, just like during his wrestling entrances. The White House shared the video with the caption, 'ARE YOU READY… TO MAKE AMERICA FIT AGAIN,' a clever nod to his catchphrase and Trump's familiar slogan.
Several athletes and prominent figures appeared at the White House for Donald Trump's
fitness campaign
Levesque wasn't alone at the high-profile event. A-list athletes, including two-time major golf champion Bryson DeChambeau, Pro Football Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor, Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, and golf icon Annika Sorenstam, also attended.
DeChambeau will chair the expanded council.
The new executive order also charges the council with addressing pressing issues in college sports, including the transfer portal and athlete compensation. Trump's long-time interest in sports was clear as he linked physical fitness with American excellence. 'This is a wonderful tradition, and we're bringing it back,' he said, referring to the test that had been discontinued during the Obama administration.

He said that the Indian government and federation treat their players like superstars, while he criticised the system in the United States, accusing them of sabotaging their own. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the 22-year-old said, 'The Indian government and chess federation treats their players like superstars: supporting their development from an early age and rewarding them for their victories. While the American chess federation sabotages their own. The consequences will be very clear in 5-10 years.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The Indian government and chess federation treats their players like superstars: supporting their development from an early age and rewarding them for their victories. While the American chess federation sabotages their own. The consequences will be very clear in 5-10 years. — Hans Niemann (@HansMokeNiemann) August 3, 2025 Why Niemann lauded Indian chess scene? Niemann's comment came shortly after India's newest Grandmaster Divya Deshmukh received a Rs 3 crore cash prize from Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis for winning the 2025 FIDE Women's World Cup, becoming the first Indian woman to do so. Divya defeated veteran Grandmaster Koneru Humpy in a dramatic all-Indian final held in Batumi, Georgia. Thanks to her victory, she was awarded the Grandmaster title, bypassing the usual technical requirements. It was a big moment for Indian chess.

IND vs ENG Test: 'Monday is a workday...' – Nasser Hussain and Dinesh Karthik lambast match officials
LONDON, ENGLAND - AUGUST 03: Players of India go off for bad light during day four of the Fifth Test Match between England and India at The Kia Oval on August 03, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by) Former England captain Nasser Hussain and ex-India wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik have lambasted match officials for declaring stumps early on Day 4 of the fifth Test at The Oval. England, seeking to wrap up a 3-1 win, were 339 for 6 when play was abandoned late on Sunday's fourth day of the fifth and final Test, needing a further 35 runs to reach a target of 374. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! India, who had appeared down and out at one stage, require four wickets to end the thrilling series level at 2-2. England were faltering at 106 for 3 following the loss of stand-in captain Ollie Pope, but the Yorkshire pair of Brook (111) and Root (105) turned the tide with a fourth-wicket stand of 195. However, Brook's exit sparked a mini-collapse, with the home side losing three wickets for 36 runs, including Root's dismissal. When bad light halted play, England were wobbling, with Jamie Smith two not out and Jamie Overton yet to get off the mark. Joe Root press conference : On Mohammed Siraj fake anger, why he punched his bat, update on Woakes 'Most importantly for viewers and fans who paid good money — remember, Monday is a workday — and this sort of series deserves a finale in front of a big crowd at an iconic cricket ground like The Oval,' Nasser Hussain said on Sky Sports. 'That would have been some finale on Sunday. You may have just knocked off 35, or you may have seen Chris Woakes walk downstairs in a sling. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Rare, Refined, and Ready Soon – Monte South is the Answer Monte South A Joint Venture between Adani Realty and Marathon Realty Learn More Undo I'm just wondering if they could have done anything — they had like 42–43 minutes to play with within the laws and the playing regulations. 'If the groundsman had said, 'No, we can't get the covers off in that time,' the umpires would have had to call stumps. But I'm just wondering... you do have the option of the extra half hour, don't you? If you feel you can get a result at 7:30, if there were 10 runs to win, the umpires would have given the team the extra half hour. I was just wondering if you could give the extra half hour at 6:42 (11:12 PM IST) and say to the teams: 'We're willing to push that back half an hour. Are you okay with it?' If one of the teams — if India said, 'Our bowlers are exhausted, give them a night's sleep,' then you say, absolutely fine. Or if England said, 'We've had a mad hour there, we want to come back tomorrow,' that's fine. But I'm just wondering if you could have had a bit of common sense in there. It's a shame,' he said. Dinesh Karthik also echoed Hussain's views. Poll Should match officials have extended play for an extra half hour on Day 4? Yes, it would have allowed for a thrilling finale No, the rules should be strictly followed It depends on the situation Not sure 'On a day like this, especially in a Test series of this magnitude, it would be nice to have 20,000 people at the ground cheering — whichever team won. I mean, it was either going to be England 3-1, which it looked like for a majority of the day, and then suddenly after tea, India came back with some renewed excellence with the ball,' said Karthik. 'There was a little bit of rain, and I agree the rules are the rules, but I kind of like what Nasser said — that half-hour extension you get. Even if it meant starting again at 6:45, it could have gone for 11 or 12 more overs, it could have gone either way. The crowd would have gotten to see a result. And it's a nice feeling to know that both teams have gone so hard — you give them the option. If they don't want to use it, fair enough. Everybody comes back tomorrow for whatever it's worth. But today, I think a little bit more common sense would have been to ask. I'm not saying it should have happened, but to ask — I think that's the fair thing to do,' added Karthik.
