Vasanth's father, who works as a bus driver in MTC Chennai, had health issues and could not drive for long hours. All the years of hard work and sacrifice has borne fruit with his son Vasanth winning U-15 boxing Asian medal. #Boxing timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/boxing/…

Vasanth, son of MTC bus driver in Chennai, clinched silver in the Asian U-15 Boxing Championship. His father had to drive in night shifts for close to 5 yrs to look after him in spite of having health issues. His mother is a lawyer at Madras HC. #Boxing

"Initially we did not have money to pay to the club but the coach till now has not asked for it. Things changed after he joined SDAT," said Vasanth's mother. Vasanth joined Madras Engineer Group in his 2nd attempt last year. #Boxing

For the first time in Indian squash history, a national head coach (Harinder Pal Singh)is competing in an Open National event - Doubles C'ship. Harinder and Om Semwal reached the quarters. #Squash

Om Semwal gave up on competing in the National Doubles before a call in the last minute from the national chief coach opened his participation. "It is a great opportunity to play alongside Harry sir," 22-year-old Semwal said. #Squash

@modularform I meant the national chief coach

@msudh98 This happens quite often in tennis. Vishnu Vardhan has been playing doubles with his wards in M15 events.

It’s seems like My coaching career comes to an end after 1.5 years, during which we played 5 tournaments and secured 5 podium finishes, including a Junior World Cup bronze medal. I have heard about coaches getting fired after bad performances. But this is the first time I am experiencing being removed to make way for a foreign coach. The Hockey India President stated that the chief coach of the senior men’s team prefers a foreign head coach for the junior team, believing it will help develop Indian hockey from the junior level through to the senior level. Hence, the continued preference for foreign coaches — Can’t Indian coaches develop Indian hockey? On 07-03-2026, during a meeting with the Hon’ble Sports Minister Shri Mansukh Mandaviya, I was told, “Sreejesh, we need coaches like you to step up and lead our country as we prepare for 2036.” However, Hockey India continues to place its trust in foreign coaches over Indian ones across all four teams. @mansukhmandviya @PMOIndia @TheHockeyIndia @Media_SAI @WeAreTeamIndia @DGSAI @DilipTirkey

A personal best for Aadarsh Ram at 2.27m. Becomes the 3rd best high jumper in India. He is now going for national record at 2.30m Info - @VishankRazdan #Athletics

Two years ago, high jumper Aadarsh Ram had a PB of just 2.15m. Now he is the third-best in the country with 2.27m. Training under NR holder Sahana Kumari, Aadarsh said the performance of U-20 athlete Basant Ravi, a training partner of his, pushed his limits. #Athletics

IOD Sports (@olympic_indian) vlog on IAS (Leg 6) in Chennai will be live today at 5:30 pm.. The link is in the replies.. Attaching some incredible pics taken by my friend @rooneysangel.. The vlog features some special people incl @msudh98, @SreeshankarM, Aadarsh Ram & Krishik M

What pushed Aadarsh to raise his level was the recent circular by AFI which stated only 1 per event would qualify for CWG, while multiple could qualify if necessary. Under these circumstances, Aadarsh was determined to stay at the top and put up a strong challenge. #Athletics

*One of the reasons to push his limits
