Jarkhar, mecca of rural sports, keeps torch burning
Ludhiana: As the 15th Olympian Prithipal Singh Hockey Championship concluded at Jarkhar on June 8, the passion for sports in the village was palpable, showing how far it has come as a 'mecca of rural sports'. Jarkhar lies about 15km from the city, on Ludhiana-Malerkotla road. Jarkhar Sports Festival and other tournaments held in the village have become the most anticipated events here. No wonder, they are often referred to as 'modern rural mini Olympics'. Since its inception in 1986, this vibrant festival has grown from a modest local event into a cornerstone of rural sports and cultural celebration, fostering community spirit, sportsmanship, and the preservation of traditional games. Held at the state-of-the-art Mata Sahib Kaur Sports Complex, the festival attracts participants and spectators, blending athletic prowess with Punjabi cultural vibrancy. The festival's history traces back to a small playground and a budget of just Rs 1,200 initiated by the Mata Sahib Kaur Sports and Charitable Trust. Over nearly four decades, it has evolved into a spectacle, drawing athletes from neighbouring villages, districts, and even international teams. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo A pivotal moment in the festival's history came with the establishment of the Jarkhar Hockey Academy in April 2006, spearheaded by chief organiser Jagroop Singh Jarkhar. The event's growth is reflected in its modern venue, over Rs 6 crore stadium equipped with floodlights, a blue astroturf surface, and facilities including a hostel, 34 rooms, facility to host multiple sports simultaneously. These include hockey, kabaddi, wrestling, football, basketball, handball, volleyball, and athletics. Jarkhar said, "At present, about 120 aspiring hockey players are being coached and 30 to 40 players are staying in the hostel. The focus remains on hockey, but a boxing academy was also started in 2021." The festival's impact extends beyond athletics, serving as a cultural hub that celebrates Punjab's rich heritage. The academy has become a beacon of opportunity for underprivileged youth. Jarkhar said several academy players have participated in various-level competitions, securing stable employment, highlighting the role of the festival and the academy in transforming lives through sports. "Over 400 players from the academy have already played at the national level and have secured jobs in various departments including Punjab Police, the Railways, etc under the sports quota. More than 50 players are playing in different leagues abroad and nearly 100 players are making a living from the sport," he added. Jarkhar said, "Of the Rs 6-7 crore invested in the complex, only Rs 20-30 lakh has come from the govt. We could manage the rest because of the strong community support." He added, "We have dedicated our lives to it, Nowhere in Punjab will you find such infrastructure. This is the first stadium in the state to have floodlights, that too in rural areas, and they are lit every evening when players play and practice. It has a hostel, 34 rooms, bus service, boarding lodging, and food facilities." The academy is also recognised by Hockey India . Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .

Tennis-Zheng beats Raducanu at Queen's after change of shoes, Rybakina upset by Maria
* Zheng beats Raducanu in straight sets * Maria upsets Rybakina * Keys comes from behind to knock out Shnaider LONDON, June 13 (Reuters) - Top seed Zheng Qinwen beat home favourite Emma Raducanu 6-2 6-4 to move into the semi-finals at the Queen's Club Championships on Friday while 37-year-old Tatjana Maria upset 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina to reach the last four. In an entertaining battle at the Andy Murray Arena, Zheng showed she could be a worthy contender heading into Wimbledon as she marched into her first semi-final on grass when she converted her fourth match point. Zheng has won singles titles on clay and hardcourts but she is still adapting to grass, with the 22-year-old showing a marked improvement in her match with Raducanu after she changed her shoes midway through a game when the Briton was serving. "I want to apologise for my shoes. I didn't want to fall two times, but I just don't know how to run on grass," Zheng said sheepishly. "I still don't know when I have to change the grass shoes. I think right now is the time, so it's the new shoes. I feel much better to run. "It was a really difficult match for me, especially (because) she has got more experience than me on the grasscourt. I'm just really happy to get into the semi-final for the first time on grass." Zheng and Raducanu were neck-and-neck in the opening set until the Chinese world number five finally broke serve to go 4-2 up. The home crowd largely favoured Raducanu but Zheng did not waver and the Paris Olympic champion claimed the opening set despite a fall on set point. Raducanu took a medical timeout for a back issue before the second set and that swung the momentum the Briton's way as she secured a double break to go 3-0 up. But Zheng quickly recovered and levelled the set, before going 5-4 up with an overhead smash that kissed the line, with the crowd gasping as one when they watched a replay of the point. Serving to stay in the match, Raducanu produced a double fault to give Zheng three match points which she saved before the top seed prevailed. MARIA UPSETS RYBAKINA Germany's Maria, who came through the qualifiers and also knocked out sixth seed Karolina Muchova in the last-16, stunned Rybakina 6-4 7-6(4) to move into a WTA semi-final for the first time in two years. A mother of two whose eldest daughter is 11 and travels with her on tour, Maria is ranked number 86 in the world. "Oh my God, it means so much to me. It's a perfect example to never give up and to always keep going, doesn't matter what, because I'm still here and I'm living this dream," said Maria, a Wimbledon semi-finalist in 2022. "I have my family with me, an amazing team. So much support and so much love, and we are really enjoying the ride together. "I'm super, super proud to be in the semi-final and I hope in a few years you will see my daughter in the same stage here!" Maria will face second seed Madison Keys, who battled back from a set down to beat Diana Shnaider 2-6 6-3 6-4. "Diana played so well and she's always a tricky opponent," Keys said. "I had to raise my level after the first set, and I'm happy that I managed to figure it out." (Reporting by Rohith Nair in Bengaluru; editing by Pritha Sarkar)

With Munich gold, Suruchi Phogat announces intent to dominate 10 m air pistol
During her commentary stint at the women's 10m air pistol final in the ISSF Munich World Cup, Paris Olympics double bronze medallist Manu Bhaker talked about how reputations of competitors didn't faze her. Manu said she did not know about any of the 'big' names in pistol events in her debut senior World Cup in Mexico in 2018, where she won gold in a field including 2016 Olympic 25m Pistol champion and 10m air pistol bronze medallist Anna Korakaki of Greece. But Bhaker declared that the name 'Suruchi Phogat' would not be easy to forget. While Bhaker's compatriot had edged her out for a gold at the Lima World Cup, Phogat won her third successive ISSF World Cup title in a final field consisting of Paris Olympics 25m pistol silver medallist Camille Jedrzejewski of France and three Chinese shooters including Tokyo Olympics mixed team gold medallist and individual bronze medallist Jiang Ranxin. Behind the mic, Bhaker would shower praise on the 19-year-old's resolve. Even though, Phogat's scores dipped into high 9s at the fag end of the final, the Haryana shooter would push Jedrzejewski to the second spot in the last elimination shot to win her third successive gold medal. 'I only got to know about Camille Jedrzejewski being an Olympic medallist when her name was announced. This third successive gold medal is the toughest of all as it was a high and low final for me and taught me a lot of things. Things did not work my way midway in the final. I guess my hands were a bit tired and shots were going bad. But then I had to make some trigger adjustments and I am glad to win this title here at Munich,' shared the youngster from Sisroli village in Jhajjar district while speaking with The Indian Express. If her first senior World Cup title came in the presence of Ranxin, she won gold at Munich, the biggest event, by edging out another Chinese, Wei Qian. Phogat's second World Cup title at Lima had come with her edging out Bhaker for the gold. On Thursday, the youngster who had qualified at the second spot with a score of 588 in qualification, shot a first series of 52.1 to build a 2.2 point lead over the second placed Jedrzejewski. But with her seventh shot of the final coming as a 9.0, Phogat would see herself shifting between the top place and the second and third and occasionally fourth place over the next few shots. While others too struggled with their shots, Phogat had seven scores of 10 or above including a 10.8 and a 10.7, and seven shots below ten in the two-shot elimination series including the gold medal elimination series. 'Suruchi shoots fast in the final and never takes pressure of the first series. And the lead of 2.2 after the first series helped her in the end. I guess she delayed some shots a bit but then she never went into the lower 8s. During practice, we often practice different tasks like low score situations after first series high scores and I am glad she could win the gold in Munich,' says coach Suresh Singh, her personal coach. Across three finals, Phogat shot 29 times above ten and only two below 9.5 and no shots below 9. With Yao being eliminated for the bronze medal, Phogat was trailing Jedrzejewski by 0.5 point. A 10.5 by Phogat was followed by 9.5 from Jedrzejewski. Having a slim lead of 0.5 points, Phogat would shoot a last shot of 9.5 before Jedrzejewski shot a 9.8 handing the Indian her third gold. Indian chief pistol coach Samresh Jung told The Indian Express, 'It's great. Good for Suruchi and good for her confidence. Finals could have been better but then things like this happen. Shooters have to go through every phase and it would have taught her a lot of things. Second series, she only had one bad shot and did not drop much in terms of other four shots and the same with the elimination shots.' The Haryana youngster would also become the first Indian shooter to win three consecutive World Cup gold medals. Earlier this week, Chinese shooters Wang Zifei, Hu Kai and Sun Yujie won their third successive World Cup titles in women's 10m air rifle, men's 10m air pistol and women's 25m Pistol events respectively. Phogat did not watch those finals where the Chinese triumphed but would joke with pistol coach Jay Wardhan Singh Chouhan about the three Chinese being 'scared.' 'We could see the Chinese were discussing Suruchi. Thoda darre toh honge. The way Sun Yujie has dominated the 25m pistol this year, Suruchi has done the same in the 10m air pistol,' said national coach, Chouhan.
