Annu Rani Eyes World Championship Medal. Neeraj Chopra Of Indian Women's Javelin
"I have travelled a long way and was fatigued as well. To have done 62m while I am so tired gives me immense satisfaction. Hopefully things will be good in the future."
The UP girl spent some time training along with former Javelin world champion Johannes Vetter, who has also experienced a low in his sport after 2021, but kept pursuing for the love of it.
She worked on her technique to find her way back in the sport, training under former Olympic medallist Sergey Makarov. She made two small changes, that were suggested by her coach "My runway is smooth now and I have tried to angle the javelin in a way that it keeps low. Earlier my angle was high generally. That was not giving me the results."
"Crossing 62m has boosted a lot of confidence in me. This will be my 5th world championship. My eye will be on a medal," says Annu Rani.
The qualification window for World Championships closes with the Inter-State meet, later this month

'Young & fearless': Boxing head coach optimistic ahead of Liverpool test
CHENNAI: Indian boxing is in the process of scripting a new chapter inside the ring. As far as men's boxing is concerned, the old guard has gradually been pushed aside after the conclusion of the Paris Olympics cycle and some of the new names who have stepped up. The fresh faces, currently breaking sweat at the ongoing national camp in NIS Patiala, are now looking to be part of history books. The 10-member men's boxing team, which was ascertained last month, is currently gearing up for the all-important World Championships that is scheduled to be held early next month in Liverpool. Having been part of the national coaching setup for a long time, Dharmendra Singh Yadav has overseen countless life-changing bouts over the years at the elite level. But this time it's a bit different as he's in-charge of the boxing operations as the head coach. The pugilists might be still learning the finer aspects of the craft at the elite level but Dharmendra is encouraged with the batch of boxers he has been dealing with in recent months. "We have a young side with most of them competing at this level for the first time. However, the mentality is different among the boxers. Most of them are fearless and have plenty of self-belief. 'If someone can win a medal, why can't I do the same?' That's the mindset they bear," the Arjuna Awardee noted. Needless to say, Dharmendra knows medals are the ultimate currency. "If they keep things simple and do what plays according to their strengths, they can definitely leave a strong impression during the championships. It's important to think about winning a medal. It's vital to have that mindset." The coach's support cast could also determine how the pugilists express themselves in the months to come. Dharmendra is thrilled with the coaching staff that he has around him. "Even the coaching staff is young and has plenty of energy. The manner in which they motivate the boxers is quite impressive. It was not the same earlier. They communicate clearly with the boxers and there's no negativity. It is refreshing." Narender Berwal (men's 90+kg) and Sachin Siwach are a couple of names that have a fair amount of experience at the top level. The current squad was selected on the basis of the weekly evaluation during the national camp. There were as many as seven boxers competing for the No 1 spot in a couple of weight categories. That decision was made with deliberation. "We wanted more boxers in the national camp so that they can be tested thoroughly. There's more competition and they'll have to adapt to different styles within the camp and that would hopefully make them battle-ready for key competitions," Dharmendra said. One of the talents that Dharmendra is excited about is Jadumani Singh, who competes in the 50kg category. "He is one of the boxers who's fearless. Even though he had a close loss in the Brazil World Cup (held in April this year), he displayed plenty of courage." If things go as per plan, the team could be in the UK some time next week. They'll be taking part in a coaching camp in Sheffield before the Worlds event. Boxers from other top nations are expected to be part of the said camp.

Breaking down India's lot: Satwik-Chirag's chance for Paris payback, Lakshya Sen vs top seed Shi Yu Qi gets top billing
'The men's singles opener everyone is talking about…' If it wasn't already by default the most exciting opening round match of the World Championships, the Badminton World Federation social media account ensured Shi Yu Qi vs Lakshya Sen got the top billing. On Wednesday, after the draws were made for the 2025 Paris BWF World Championships, the standout fixture was China's top seed taking on India's best finisher at the very venue of the Olympic Games last year. For contrasting reasons, both Shi and Lakshya would not want to revisit Paris 2024 at the Adidas Arena (Porte de La Chapelle Arena for the duration of the Olympics). The Chinese star was the top seed and was expected to challenge Viktor Axelsen's bid for the double, but he fell by the wayside at the quarterfinals stage, losing to Kunlavut Vitidsarn. Lakshya, technically, punched above his weight, but the credibility of the fourth-place finish was overshadowed by a sense of missed opportunities for winning a medal. He led in the semifinal and bronze medal match, both he went on to lose. Shi, however, has been in good form, winning three Super 1000 titles this season and reclaiming the World No. 1 ranking. But for Lakshya, the Paris result has seemingly followed him around like a bad hangover that he can't seem to shake off. There have been some flashes of brilliance but consistency has deserted him, and the niggles haven't helped. Lakshya trails 1-3 against Shi, the solitary win coming at the Asian Games team event final in the Chinese backyard in Hangzhou. The last time they met, at the Indonesia Open 2025, Lakshya overcame a serious slump mid-match to force a decider, had a lead in Game 3 but couldn't convert, losing 11-21, 22-20, 15-21. In the bottom half, the draw hasn't been easier for the 2023 bronze medallist HS Prannoy, as he is set to take on second seed Anders Antonsen, who will be Denmark's big hope in the continued absence of Axelsen. Based on current form, Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty easily carry India's best hope of a podium finish, but a combination of sliding down the rankings and the very nature of men's doubles being a wide-open discipline has seen them receive a tough draw too. Seeded 9th, they start with an opening-round bye and would either face fellow Indians Hariharan Amsakarunan-Ruben Kumar or Liu Kuang Heng and Yang Po Han of Chinese Taipei in the second round. A couple of potential blockbusters await in their quarter of the draw. A potential round of 16 fixture pits Satwik-Chirag against fellow former World No 1s Liang Wei Keng-Wang Chang, now world No 6. Liang-Wang have had a somewhat similar season to Satwik-Chirag (having played a few more matches), but when they met at the Japan Open, they overcame the Indians in straight games, extending their record to 6-2. In case Satwik-Chirag pair pulls one over against the Chinese duo that have caused them a fair amount of strife, they face their nemeses after that. A year ago in the Olympics, Malaysia's Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik had ended the Indians' medal hope in the quarterfinals. A potential rematch looms. The Malaysians hold an enviable 11-3 record against SatChi, and have won the last three meetings. They too have a tricky round of 16 against Thailand's Dechapol Puavaranukroh and Kittinupong Kedren but in their current form, they will be favourites to progress. India's most successful player in the history of the World Championships, five-time medallist and former winner PV Sindhu has historically had a strong record against Chinese players at the event. But given her form in 2025, it would be a mammoth ask for her to overcome second seed Wang Zhi Yi, whom she could face in the quarterfinals. The Indian star begins her campaign against Bulgaria's Kaloyana Nalbantova and potentially faces Malaysia's Letshanaa Karupathevan in the second round. India have won at least one medal at every BWF World Championships since 2011. Given their overall struggles on tour this year, the odds of that streak extending seem rather slim.

Indian shuttlers handed tough draw at Worlds
NEW DELHI: India's highest ranked men's singles shuttler, Lakshya Sen has received a tough opening round at the World Championship as the Badminton World Federation (BWF) announced the draws at its headquarters in Kuala Lumpur for the prestigious annual competition on Wednesday. File image of duo Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty during a men's doubles match. (Hindustan Times) The world No.21 will take on top seed and reigning All England champion Shi Yu Qi of China in the first round against whom Sen has a 1-3 record. The only Indian to medal (bronze) at the last World Championships in 2023, HS Prannoy will take on Finland's Jaokim Oldorff in the opener, in what will be a first meeting between the two. The only Indian in women's singles, 15th seed PV Sindhu will open against Bulgarian Kaloyana Nalbantova. The former world champion is expected to easily make the third round where she will likely face world No.2 Wang Zhi Yi of China against whom the double Olympic medallist has a 2-2 record. As is the case in most tournaments of late, India's best bet will be the men's doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty who have received a first round bye. The ninth seeds will take on the winner of the match between compatriots Hariharan Amsakarunan/Ruban Kumar Rethinasabapathi and Chinese Taipei's Liu Kuang Heng/Yang Po Han in Round 2. But the top Indian pair will likely run into Paris Olympics silver medallists Liang Wei Keng/Wang Chang of China against whom Rankireddy/Shetty have an unimpressive 2-6 head-to-head. Due to the pull out of 12th seeds Treesa Jolly/P Gayatri Gopichand, India will be represented by Priya Konjengbam/Shruti Mishra and Rutaparna and Swetaparna Panda in women's doubles. In mixed doubles, 16th seeds Dhruv Kapila and Tanisha Crasto have received a first round bye. The other Indian pair in action will be Rohan Kapoor and Ruthvika Shivani Gadde.
