He claimed victory in Jeddah Part 1, starting from pole and also recording the fastest lap. After clinching the win in
Formula E Championship
Round 3, he'll be looking to replicate that success in Tokyo.
After his Jeddah win, Günther shared a photo of himself with the trophy on Instagram, writing: 'P1!!! What a race. What a day. What a feeling. Started from pole, dropped back to P9, and then fought back to take the win in the final corners, on the final lap. This one means everything! Today is a true testament to the hard work we've put in as a team over the past months, and it's only the beginning. A massive thank you to everyone at @dsperformance and @ds_penske_fe, both here at the track and back at the factory. This win is for all of us.'
However, Gunther couldn't do much in his home city, Monaco, despite the double opportunities in the double header. He summed up his Monaco experience in a post that read: 'Racing on the iconic streets of Monaco is always special. 🇲🇨 After a strong qualifying, we lined up P3 and gave it everything out there today. Unfortunately, we didn't have the race pace and crossed the line in P8. Not the easiest weekend, but still walking away with two points finishes here. Now it's time to reset and focus on Tokyo.'

Giannis Antetokounmpo and Mariah Riddlesprigger celebrate son's birthday Amid Greece team dispute (Image Source: Getty Images) In Athens, Greece, Giannis Antetokounmpo 's family had a quiet little celebration. His wife, Mariah Riddlesprigger, posted a heartfelt message. Their son, Maverick Shai, turned four. But it wasn't all happy moments. Giannis was getting ready for EuroBasket 2025. At the same time, his NBA team, the Milwaukee Bucks, was in a clash with the Greek federation. The family is caught between joy and worry. Mariah Riddlesprigger's special message for Maverick Shai Antetokounmpo On August 18, Mariah Riddlesprigger shared a loving birthday message and family photos on Instagram from Athens. Maverick, her second child with Giannis Antetokounmpo, turned four. She wrote, 'I pray that you continue asking questions, pushing boundaries, loving hard and driving me insane because these moments are short and I love every ounce of your craziness! To the best brother and mama's boy, we love you dearly! Happy 4th Birthday to my little best friend!' Mariah and Giannis have four children: Liam, Maverick, Eva, and Aria. All of them are with their parents in Greece, supporting Giannis during practice. The photos Mariah posted showed Maverick with both parents, on vacation and playing basketball. The moment was warm and real. Mariah's words gave people a peek into their lives away from basketball games and busy schedules. Even when there is tension and big decisions, special family moments shine through. Giannis Antetokounmpo's EuroBasket 2025 challenge with the Milwaukee Bucks Giannis Antetokounmpo had a serious issue off the court, even as the family celebrated. The Greek national basketball team hoped Giannis would compete in the EuroBasket 2025 event. On August 20, the team will compete against Latvia, and then they will have to take on France and Italy. Greece needs Giannis for these big games. But his NBA team, the Milwaukee Bucks, slowed things down. Giannis's contract is huge, $54million per year. FIBA only offers limited insurance in case a player gets injured. The Bucks wanted more protection before letting him play for Greece. They waited for a written agreement from the Greek federation. This insurance dispute left Giannis stuck. He practiced with the team but could not play in exhibition matches until the paperwork was ready. Recently, Bucks officials agreed to let Giannis play, but only after tough talks. On August 16, Coach Vassilis Spanoulis said Giannis could finally join team activities. Basketball fans hope to see him play on August 20 at the Acropolis Tournament. Greece last won a medal at EuroBasket back in 2009. The national team needs Giannis to boost their chances this year.

Confident India won't play Pakistan in Asia Cup 2025: Kedar Jadhav
Former India cricketer Kedar Jadhav has urged the national team to boycott their matches against Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025, set to begin on 9 September in the UAE. The former Maharashtra and Chennai Super Kings batter added that he was confident the high-profile clash would not take place as Indian cricketers, including Harbhajan Singh, have called on the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to boycott fixtures against Pakistan in response to the terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, and the cross-border tensions that there had been speculation that India might withdraw from the Asia Cup, the team decided to participate, albeit at a neutral venue — the UAE. India and Pakistan are scheduled to face off in the group stage on 14 August, with the possibility of meeting as many as three times in the tournament if both sides reach the final. 'I don't think the Indian team should play. I also believe India won't play. Wherever India face them (Pakistan), they will win anyway. But this match should definitely not go ahead. I can say with confidence that it won't happen,' Jadhav told July-August, India boycotted matches against Pakistan, including a semi-final, during the World Championship of Legends — a T20 competition featuring retired cricketers in the United India captain Sourav Ganguly, however, maintained that the Asia Cup fixture would go ahead if the government granted permission.'India-Pakistan cricket has always depended on government approval. If the government allows the match, it will be played. I have said before that terrorism must stop. But if the government gives the go-ahead, the game should go on,' Ganguly had said last 22 April terrorist attack in Pahalgam claimed the lives of 26 civilians, mostly tourists, after gunmen opened fire, allegedly targeting victims based on their religious identity. The Resistance Front (TRF), also known as Kashmir Resistance, initially claimed responsibility but later denied involvement as tensions between India and Pakistan escalated. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) identified TRF chief Sheikh Sajjad Gul as the mastermind behind the retaliation, India launched Operation Sindoor on 7 May, striking nine terrorist infrastructure sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The operation marked a sharp military escalation, including cross-border attacks on Pakistani bases, before hostilities were scaled back under a bilateral ceasefire agreement. Later in May, India sent seven multi-party delegations to 33 global capitals, including Washington, to highlight Pakistan's links to terrorism and gather international and Pakistan have not played a bilateral cricket series since 2012-13. However, the two sides have continued to meet in tournaments organised by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Asian Cricket Council (ACC). After India refused to travel to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy, the ICC ensured that tournaments hosted by either nation would follow a hybrid model to accommodate political sensitivities.- EndsTune InTrending Reel
