Delhi gets its coolest address: Ice rink in Dwarka, balloon rides by the Yamuna
New Delhi is preparing for two new recreational additions — the capital's first international-standard ice skating rink and its debut hot air balloon rides — aiming to boost sports infrastructure and open up fresh leisure avenues for residents, reported TOI. The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has finalised the implementing agency for a state-of-the-art ice rink at the Dwarka Sector 23 Sports Complex. The 4,200-square-metre facility, featuring a 60x30 metre rink, will be completed in six months.

'The initiative, conceptualised and being executed under the guidance of lieutenant governor VK Saxena, would serve the dual purpose of providing recreational avenues to the people of Delhi, besides creating a state-of-the-art infrastructure for the training of sports enthusiasts,' officials said. Located close to the Urban Extension Road, the site is easily accessible from the Dwarka Expressway junction and the airport tunnel connecting Dwarka Sector 21 with IGI Terminal 3. The executing agency has been allotted the land and the project will be developed on a licence-fee model for 15 years. The selected builder will complete the construction in partnership with international collaborators. Live Events Filling a sports infrastructure gap 'LG directed DDA to explore the possibility of creating such a facility in Delhi,' TOI quoted a DDA official as sayin. 'It was felt that spaces in the capital for enthusiasts to train and participate and for organisers to host events in these sporting activities were limited. Hence, the decision to create an ice skating rink.' The project also aims to promote ice-based sports such as skating, curling, ice hockey and figure skating, which have seen rising interest across India. It will also serve as a climate-controlled indoor recreational option during Delhi's long summer. A DDA official added, 'DDA is systematically transforming Dwarka into a modern, well-planned sub-city. It is being developed with a focus on infrastructure, connectivity, green spaces, sports and recreational facilities.' The Dwarka Sector 23 complex is one of three centres of excellence being developed by DDA. This centre will focus on football, hockey and ice skating. The Sector 8 facility, inaugurated in May, specialises in boxing, wrestling, weightlifting and taekwondo. Another centre in Sector 19, focusing on tennis and shooting, is under construction. Balloon rides on the Yamuna floodplain In a separate move, DDA has shortlisted an agency to operate hot air balloon rides at four locations on the Yamuna floodplain — Asita, Baansera, Yamuna Sports Complex, and CWG Village Sports Complex. This will mark the first time residents will be able to enjoy aerial views of the city through recreational balloon flights. The initiative adds a new dimension to the capital's leisure options and comes alongside the broader push to enhance Delhi's recreational infrastructure.

Who is Lawrence Taylor? Controversial New York Giants footballer features in Donald Trump's Presidential Fitness Test sports council
President Donald Trump has reestablished the Presidential Fitness Test for American children, a fixture of public schools for decades that gauged young people's health and athleticism with 1-mile runs, sit-ups and stretching exercises. 'This is a wonderful tradition, and we're bringing it back,' Trump said of the fitness test that began in 1966 but was phased out during the Obama administration. An executive order he signed on Thursday also reinvigorates a national sports council that the president stocked with former and current athletes and other figures from the sports world. Several prominent athletes joined Trump and top administration officials, including allies such as friend and pro golfer Bryson DeChambeau; and others who've attracted controversy such as former New York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor, a registered sex offender.

Meet the Real Enemy of Neuropathy (Stop Doing This) FootRenew Learn More Undo Lawrence Julius Taylor, born February 4, 1959, is a Pro Football Hall of Fame linebacker who played 13 seasons with the New York Giants, winning Super Bowls in 1987 and 1991. Widely regarded as one of the greatest defensive players in NFL history, Taylor revolutionized the linebacker position with his speed, power, and game‑changing presence. In May 2010, Taylor was arrested at a Holiday Inn in Rockland County, New York, on charges of third‑degree statutory rape and patronizing a prostitute involving a 16‑year‑old runaway. Taylor claimed the girl told him she was 19. In January 2011, he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor sexual misconduct and patronizing, receiving six years' probation and required to register as a sex offender. A Rockland County judge later designated him as a Level 1 (low‑risk) sex offender, which exempts him from having his photo posted on New York's public registry, though he remains listed with Florida authorities. Live Events Taylor has repeatedly run into legal trouble for failing to update his registered address, a requirement under law. He was arrested in Florida in December 2021, and again in July 2024, on charges of failing to report his residence change, which is a third‑degree felony. Taylor pleaded not guilty in 2024, with his attorney calling the incident a misunderstanding. Both times, legal action was resolved in his favor—by plea deal in 2021, and by prosecutors dropping felony charges in August 2024. In May 2025, Taylor delivered a motivational speech to the New York Giants, sparking controversy and criticism online due to his criminal past, even as some fans noted his effort to serve as a team builder. His legacy remains deeply complicated: a legend on the field, yet a convicted sex offender whose actions continue to provoke debate. FAQs Q1. Why is Lawrence Taylor a registered sex offender? A1. Lawrence Taylor became a registered sex offender in 2011 after pleading guilty to misdemeanor charges of sexual misconduct and patronizing a prostitute. The case involved a 16-year-old girl who had been trafficked, though Taylor claimed he believed she was 19. He received six years' probation and was classified as a Level 1 sex offender—considered low risk—but still required to register in states like New York and Florida. Q2. Has Lawrence Taylor had any legal issues since his 2011 conviction? A2. Yes. Taylor has faced multiple arrests related to failing to update his registered address, a legal requirement for sex offenders. He was arrested in Florida in 2021 and again in 2024 for not reporting a change of residence. In both instances, felony charges were either resolved through a plea deal or dropped. These incidents have kept him under scrutiny, especially when he reappears in the public spotlight.

Greatest investor? All you need to know about Nancy Pelosi's networth and investments amid insider trading allegations
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has weighed in on the controversy surrounding former House Speaker and current California Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi's wealth. Speaking to the press, Leavitt said, 'She makes, I think, $174,000 a year, yet she has a net worth of approximately $413 million. In 2024, Nancy Pelosi's stock portfolio grew 70%, outperforming every single large hedge fund that year and even more than doubling the returns of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway.' So, what is Nancy Pelosi's actual net worth? According to a previous report by the New York Post, Pelosi and her venture capitalist husband Paul Pelosi could have a combined net worth of around $413 million—an increase from $370 million in 2023. However, the report also notes that 'Pelosi's exact net worth is not known because lawmakers are only required to disclose in ranges.'

The Post report highlighted that Pelosi's actual wealth could be significantly higher when accounting for holdings in a Napa Valley winery, ownership in a political data and consulting firm, and a stake in a Bay Area Italian restaurant. A large portion of the couple's wealth reportedly comes from stock investments and timely trades, primarily conducted in Paul Pelosi's name. As of 2024, Quiver Quantitative estimates their stock holdings at $133.7 million, including shares in major tech firms like Apple, Amazon, Google, and Nvidia. Live Events Despite the controversies, Pelosi has consistently claimed she is not involved in her husband's investment decisions. She also supports a proposed bill to ban stock trading by members of Congress. 'The American people deserve confidence that their elected leaders are serving the public interest — not their personal portfolios,' Pelosi said. Stock trading by lawmakers has long been a bipartisan issue, especially as many have seen their wealth grow while in office. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it emerged that several members of Congress traded stocks based on privileged information before it became public. Existing insider trading laws don't always apply to the kinds of briefings and updates lawmakers receive. The proposed legislation would immediately prohibit elected officials—including the president—from buying stocks. It would also bar them from selling stocks for 90 days after the law is enacted. However, full divestment from covered investments would only be required at the start of the official's next term—effectively exempting a term-limited president from this requirement.
