Algeria's Khelif won the fight within just 46 seconds after her opponent quit. A very few punches were thrown before Carini abandoned the match, which is a rare occurrence in <keyword id="20634596" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Olympic-boxing" source="keywords">Olympic boxing</keyword>. Dutee shared her own experience of being dropped from the 2014 Commonwealth Games squad when the <keyword id="20386415" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Athletics-Federation-of-India" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Athletics Federation of India" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Athletics Federation of India">Athletics Federation of India</keyword> (AFI) decided to drop her, citing that she was ineligible to compete as a woman athlete, due to hyperandrogenism, which is a medical condition in which woman has a high level of androgens and how it was difficult for her to cope with such problems and immense pressure because of it. She extended her support to Imane, saying that if the <keyword id="20407227" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="International-Olympic-Committee" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="International Olympic Committee" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="International Olympic Committee">International Olympic Committee</keyword> (IOC) does not have any problems with her competing and has not raised any questions about her gender, then why her opponent had a problem with her. Speaking to ANI, Dutee said, "A lot of issues occur when such a situation comes up. I faced it in 2014. Before I was selected for the Commonwealth Games, I was dropped from the team. There were media reports that I had to undergo a gender test, that I am not a woman but a man and that is why I cannot play in the women's category. At that time, the biggest challenge was to lead a normal life in society. So, with what is happening at the Olympics, she (Imane) will perhaps face a lot of issues .She will face immense mental pressure.'' "Before we go to the Olympics, we face a number of tests - Doping Test, Hormonal Level Test, Gender Test. So, if she is facing a gender issue, how did she participate in the Olympics? She has played in a lot of competitions before this. She must have undergone tests there too. When IOC made no complaints that she is male by gender, how can someone question her? She has lost 9 games so far (in her career). Today, she (Angela Carini) is questioning as she lost the game. She would not have raised a question had she won," she added. Following the match, the Italian was in tears and refused to shake hands with Khelif, as per ESPN. In the post-match interview, Khelif said, as quoted by ESPN, that she felt severe pain in her nose during the fight. She also said that she was not going to judge if Khelif should be allowed to compete at the Olympics. "I felt a severe pain in my nose, and with the maturity of a boxer, I said 'enough,' because I didn't want to, I did not want to, I could not finish the match," Carini said. "I am not here to judge or pass judgment. If an athlete is this way, and in that sense, it is not right or it is right, it is not up to me to decide. I just did my job as a boxer. I got into the ring and fought. I did it with my head held high and with a broken heart for not having finished the last kilometre," she added. Just before her gold medal bout in the International Boxing Association (IBA) Women's Championships held in New Delhi last year, Khelif was disqualified as she had failed to meet IBA's eligibility criteria. She was not allowed to compete due to elevated testosterone levels, as per ESPN. But she was allowed to compete in the Paris Olympics by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) task force, which is running past two Olympic boxing events, as IBA has been banned from the past two years in Olympics due to governance issues, lack of financial transparency and instances of corruption in judging and refereeing. IOC defended the rights of Khelif and Lin Yu-ting, another boxer under scrutiny due to failing an unspecified eligibility requirement in a biochemical test, to compete in the Olympics. Replying to the controversy, the IOC said on Thursday in a statement, "All athletes participating in the boxing tournament of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 comply with the competition's eligibility and entry regulations, as well as all applicable medical regulations set by the Paris 2024 Boxing Unit (PBU). As with previous Olympic boxing competitions, the gender and age of the athletes are based on their passports." "These rules also applied during the qualification period, including the boxing tournaments of the 2023 European Games, Asian Games, Pan American Games and Pacific Games, the ad hoc 2023 African qualifying tournament in Dakar (SEN) and two world qualifying tournaments held in Busto Arsizio (ITA) and Bangkok (THA) in 2024, which involved a total of 1,471 different boxers from 172 National Olympic Committees (NOCs), the Boxing Refugee Team and Individual Neutral Athletes, and featured over 2,000 qualification bouts," the IOC statement read. The IOC said that the athletes in question had been subjects of an arbitrary decision by the International Boxing Association earlier. "We have seen in reports misleading information about two female athletes competing at the Olympic Games Paris 2024. The two athletes have been competing in international boxing competitions for many years in the women's category, including the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, International Boxing Association (IBA) World Championships and IBA-sanctioned tournaments. These two athletes were the victims of a sudden and arbitrary decision by the IBA. Towards the end of the IBA World Championships in 2023, they were suddenly disqualified without any due process," the IOC said. "According to the IBA minutes available on their website, this decision was initially taken solely by the IBA Secretary General and CEO. The IBA Board only ratified it afterwards and only subsequently requested that a procedure to follow in similar cases in the future be established and reflected in the IBA Regulations. The minutes also say that the IBA should "establish a clear procedure on gender testing. The current aggression against these two athletes is based entirely on this arbitrary decision, which was taken without any proper procedure - especially considering that these athletes had been competing in top-level competition for many years. Such an approach is contrary to good governance," the IOC added. The IOC said it was committed to protecting the human rights of all athletes participating in the Olympic Games as per the Olympic Charter, the IOC Code of Ethics and the IOC Strategic Framework on Human Rights. The IOC further said it was saddened by the abuse that the two athletes are currently receiving, the release added.

The precision stage results highlight Bhaker's consistent shooting prowess, positioning her as a strong contender as the competition progresses. With her impressive performance so far, Bhaker is not only leading the Indian shooters but is also well-positioned to secure a medal. Notably, Bhaker has already earned two bronze medals in Paris, and she is now aiming to achieve an unprecedented third medal. Bhaker will compete in the 25 m pistol shooting event final which will start at 1 PM IST.

While Vijender Singh remains the only male to have achieved the feat back in the 2008 Beijing Games, women stars MC Mary Kom (London, 2012) and Borgohain (Tokyo, 2021) later added to the overall haul. The six boxers in Paris were handed draws ranging from slippery to difficult on Thursday. Expectations are high from the group and two-time reigning world champion Zareen is at the forefront. The 28-year-old has an uphill task ahead as three of the top medal contenders in the light-flyweight (50kg) division -- China's Wu Yu, Thailand's Chuthamat Raksat and Uzbekistan's Sabina Bobokulov -- are in her half. Zareen opens her campaign against Germany's Maxi Klotzer on Sunday, following which she will meet top-seeded Asian Games and reigning flyweight world champion Wu. If Zareen crosses this hurdle, she may meet either eighth-seeded Asian Games silver medallist Raksat or Bobokulova. Both boxers have defeated the Indian recently. While Raksat got the better of Zareen at the Asian Games last year, Bobokulova beat her at the Strandja Memorial final in February. But the tenacious Hyderabadi would be up for the challenge and if she gets through two rounds, she would become a favourite for gold. The seasoned <keyword id="20499145" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Amit-Panghal" source="keywords">Amit Panghal</keyword> (51kg) has had a rollercoaster of a ride this Olympic year -- from not being the first choice in his weight class in the national team to making the cut for Paris in the one and only chance he got. Time out from the national team deflated his confidence but he has unfinished business to address, having made a first-round exit in Tokyo. Panghal has received a first-round bye and meets African Games champion, Zambia's Patrick Chinyemba, who had lost to the Indian at the Commonwealth Games, in the round of 16. He faces Asian Games silver medallist Thitisan Panmod of Thailand in the quarterfinals and could potentially meet Rio Olympics and reigning world champion Hassanboy Dusmatov from Uzbekistan or Tokyo bronze-winner Kazakh Saken Bibossinov in the semifinal. The immensely talented Nishant, one of the most consistent performers in the Indian squad, has got the best draw. With a first round bye, the debutant will take on Ecuador's Rodriguez Tenorio in the pre-quarters on Thursday. If Nishant gets past Tenorio, he will meet Mexico's Pan American Games champion Merco Verde in the quarterfinals. He may come up against top seed Sewon Okazawa of Japan in the semifinals. Borgohain will be chasing history, to add to her 69kg bronze. The Assamese boxer, who has bulked up to 75kg, will clash with Norway's Sunniva Hofstad in the first round. However, Borgohain has a tough test waiting for her in the quarterfinal in the form of Chinsese Li Qian, the reigning Asian Games champion and also a two-time Olympic and world medallist. Although Borgohain defeated Qian at the world event last year, she lost in the previous two meetings -- Asian Games and the Czech Grand Prix. A win in the quarters may pit Borgohain against either fifth-seeded world silver medallist Australian Caitlin Parker or Morocco's heavyweight world champion Khadija El-Mardi. Asian Games bronze medallist Preeti Pawar (54kg), competing in her debut Games, will fight with Vietnam's Vo Thi Kim Anh in the first round. A win will take her to the round of 16 where world silver-medallist Yeni Arias of Colombia awaits her. Another debutant Jaismine Lamboria, who has dropped from 60kg to 57kg just ahead of the final qualifier, has got perhaps the most difficult draw. She takes on Tokyo silver-medallist, former world champion Nesthy Petecio of Philippines, in her opening bout. Should she win, Jaismine would be up against France's European Games champion and world bronze winner Amina Zidani. The boxing events at the Paris Games will take place at two venues. The early rounds will be held at the North Paris Arena while the iconic Stade Roland-Garros will host the semifinals and finals.

During the conversation with the moderator, SRK not only talked about his stardom but also shared how he dealt with failures. Urging people to introspect rather than dwell on their failures, he said, "When you fail, you should not believe that your product or service or job went wrong. Maybe you just misunderstood the ecosystem you were working in. You have to understand how people are reacting. If I cannot elicit an emotion from the people I cater to, then my product is not going to work how wonderful it may be." When asked if he is critical of his work sometimes, Shah Rukh candidly admitted, "Yes, I am. I hate feeling this way, and I cry a lot in my bathroom. I don't show it to anyone. You must believe that the world is not against you. If your film did go wrong, it's not because of you or some conspiracy. You have to accept that you made it badly, and then you have to move on." He also emphasised how one should be focused on learning how to move on from failures. "There are moments of despair but there are moments which say, 'shut up, get up and get on with it'. You have to do it because the world is not against you. You should not believe that things are going wrong only for you. Life moves on. Life does what it does. You cannot start blaming life for what it does," he added. After taking break from the films for over four years, SRK returned to the silver screen with Siddharth Anand's '<keyword id="19897075" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Pathaan" source="keywords">Pathaan</keyword>' in January 2023. In the film, SRK donned an action avatar and left everyone in awe. The film broke several records at the box office and managed to grab a name in the list of one of the highest-grossing films in the Indian film industry. The film marked SRK's first hit after his sabbatical of four years post delivering a series of duds like 'Zero' and 'Jab Harry Met Sejal'. After 'Pathaan', King Khan returned to theatres in September with '<keyword id="19897076" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Jawan" source="keywords">Jawan</keyword>'. The film once again saw SRK in an action avatar. The film collected over Rs 1000 cr. at the worldwide box office. 'Jawan' redefined box office success, captivating audiences with its gripping storyline and stellar performances, and rewriting record books along the way. Released on September 7, 2023, 'Jawan' marked the first collaboration of SRK with director Atlee.The film also stars Nayanthara, Priyamani, Sanya Malhotra, Ridhi Dogra, Lehar Khan, Girija Oak, and Sanjeeta Bhattacharya.

The best architects use the natural flow of the land and native trees and grasses to fashion a route that's fair yet challenging. It's hard to narrow down my favorite courses, but these stand out for their beauty and enduring appeal to golfers of all skill levels.Here are eight of my all-time <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/best-golf-courses-in-america-2014-5">favorite golf courses</a>.<h2 id="06310bc3-5c6d-4090-ac96-3e9a5cfb205f">I'll never forget Cypress Point Club in Pebble Beach, California</h2><div type="image" title="An aerial view of Pebble Beach golf course along rocks and ocean" height="3368" width="5000" msid="114665017" hostid="261" sizebytes="1541260"></div>I was lucky to golf at an Alister MacKenzie-designed course while at the University of Michigan for four years. I never dreamed I'd one day survey the golf-course architect's crowning achievement, the Cypress Point Club.Located along the Pacific Ocean in Pebble Beach, California, it's both beautiful and extremely exclusive — only 250 or so CEOs and other elites are members.The fabled 16th hole — a par 3 with a daunting tee shot over crashing surf and craggy rocks — will live in my mind's eye forever.<h2 id="fb3afa20-ce23-444a-a110-535aace15f6c">The nearby Spyglass Hill is also incredible</h2>Just down the coast from Cypress Point stands Spyglass Hill, a classic Robert Trent Jones Sr. design along the Pacific.It's well worth the stiff greens fees — around $415 — given its prized location by Carmel-by-the-Sea and its perennial popularity among golfers.Spyglass is a three-layer confection: it courses up and downhill through dense pine forests and austere sand dunes — it even has a too-brief encounter with the sea.<h2 id="14a36765-17a4-406a-a983-d02504c0da55">Forest Dunes Golf Club in northern Michigan is one of the Mitten State's best-kept secrets</h2><div type="image" title="Overview of Forest Dunes Golf Club with large bodies of water in irregular shapes surrounded by golf course greens with irregularly shaped sand bits and trees behind the course" height="3948" width="5272" msid="114665018" hostid="261" sizebytes="1390472"></div>To create Forest Dunes Golf Club, golf pro Tom Weiskopf routed 18 holes through aromatic, pine-studded sand dunes in the middle of Michigan farm country.Forest Dunes alone is worth the trek to Roscommon, Michigan, and you must also play its ingenious companion course, The Loop.A rare Tom Doak "reversible" design, The Loop features two distinct, 18-hole layouts on the same piece of earth. Play it one way on Monday and then enjoy an entirely different routing on Tuesday.<h2 id="af37547c-84c6-4e34-ba9d-5060cc69ef0b">Bandon Dunes Golf Resort is located on a majestic stretch of unspoiled Oregon coastline</h2>No modern golf fan can fail to pay homage to Bandon Dunes Golf Resort in Oregon, where seven different courses perch above the ocean on 2,500 acres.It was designed by architect David McLay Kidd and inspired by the ancient links courses of Scotland, which were typically set on grassy natural areas between sea and land. The course is an homage to his Scottish heritage, with gusting winds and panoramic views of the entire property.It's huge — plan on staying a week at the resort and booking a foot massage upon your return. By the last glorious hole, you might log 40 miles on your feet.<h2 id="47aaa557-1d30-405c-988e-0512b65e6f94">Gamble Sands in remote Brewster, Washington, is a must-visit destination</h2>Golfers of every skill level will enjoy Gamble Sands' capacious fairways and equally generous greens.

Scott Fitzgerald, as well as innumerable golf legends.<h2 id="f5012c7a-e9d1-419d-814a-db5cbfbbea67">Cabo del Sol ranks among Mexico's best resorts — and its got great golf, too</h2>Mexico has seen an explosion of new golf courses in the last decade, but Tom Weiskopf's Cabo del Sol layout in Los Cabos has been a top draw for over 20 years now.It deserves kudos for the views alone — the glimmering Sea of Cortez is visible from all 18 holes as the course winds its way through desert washes and sand.The course is also undergoing a $20 million makeover, with some stunning new holes and a swanky clubhouse.

From the time Sir Dorabji <keyword id="19904884" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="tata" source="keywords">Tata</keyword> sponsored a handful of Indian athletes to the 1920 Antwerp Olympics, Tata group has been a constant in India's sporting landscape and the conglomerate's involvement only grew under <keyword id="19981455" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="ratan-tata" source="keywords">Ratan Tata</keyword>, who considered sport a "way of life". The chairman emeritus of Tata Sons died here at the age of 86 on Wednesday after being admitted to a hospital on Monday for "age and related medical conditions". His death triggered an avalanche of tributes from eminent personalities from all walks of life and sports was no different. From being the title sponsor of the glitzy Indian Premier League of cricket to supporting lesser-followed sports like archery to owning a football team in the Indian Super League to sponsoring a high-profile chess tournament, the Tata group has been deeply involved with the country's sporting ecosystem. Most of this involvement grew during Ratan Tata's tenure. "He always believed in 'sports is the way of life' and we are happy to carry forward the legacy. We have been the torchbearer of sports with 19 sporting verticals from football, hockey, archery to horse riding, boxing, karate, racket sports. You name it, we have it," an official involved with the JRD Tata Sports Academy, which was inaugurated in 1991 in Jamshedpur, told PTI. The growth in Tata Group's sporting involvement under Ratan Tata was the continuation of a legacy. After all, Sir Dorabji Tata, who played cricket, tennis and football, was the first President of the Indian Olympic Association (1924). This was after he had financed the Olympic appearance of four track-and-field athletes and two wrestlers at the Antwerp Games, helping organise their trials in Pune as well. Tata Steel Chess, which is also called the 'Wimbledon of chess', is a marquee event on global chess calendar, held at <keyword id="20385206" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="wijk-aan-zee" source="keywords">Wijk Aan Zee</keyword>, the Netherlands. It wasn't always known that. It was Corus Chess Tournament for the longest time before Tata Steel took over the title sponsor company, thereby claiming the rights of this event from 2007 onwards. Five-time world champion and Indian chess legend <keyword id="20221790" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="viswanathan-anand" source="keywords">Viswanathan Anand</keyword> was among the first sports icons to pay tributes to the late industrialist, saying that he "touched all our lives". "It is with profound sadness that we bid farewell to a giant of industry and philanthropy. We received our Padma Vibhushan together, and I was truly touched by his humility and genteel nature," Anand wrote on X. "The chess fraternity owes much to the traditions that are so closely associated with the Tata Group. @tatasteelchess in Holland is an event that made us chess players particularly proud, especially when the Tatas took over Corus, and later starting a new tradition with @tschessindia," he added. "The chess world and I offer our deepest condolences to @RNTata2000, a human being who touched all our lives and always stood for the good of society. Rest in peace," Anand continued. Tata Foootball Academy started back in 1987 under <keyword id="23494114" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="russi-mody" source="keywords">Russi Mody</keyword>, the then chairman of Tata Steel, who had the backing of Ratan Tata for the project. The academy has been supplying national level footballers since early '90s with its some of its noted alumni being current All India Football Federation head and former goalkeeper Kalyan Chaubey, Rennedy Singh, Dipendu Biswas and Kiran Khongsai. "TFA has played a pioneering role in Indian football by focusing on nurturing young talent and contributing significantly to the development of football in the country," the official associated with JRD sports complex said. "He (Ratan Tata) was there at the launch of Jamshedpur FC in the ISL in 2017. he interacted with the players and coaches, took photos with them. They also presented him with a signed jersey. He was very happy to see the team coming up and playing in the top tier ISL," he recalled. The enigmatic businessman was there to launch the hockey academy in Jamshedpur in 2019. "...perhaps for the last time he was here," the official said. Hockey India said Ratan Tata will be remembered as a "shining gem". "Your vision and endless contribution to our nation will never be forgotten. Your legacy will forever live with us till eternity. Hockey India pays tribute to one of Modern India's Pioneers - Ratan Naval Tata," it added. The legendary <keyword id="19919207" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="sachin-tendulkar" source="keywords">Sachin Tendulkar</keyword> said Ratan Tata's legacy will continue through his foundations. "In his life, and demise, Mr Ratan Tata has moved the nation. I was fortunate to spend time with him, but millions, who have never met him, feel the same grief that I feel today. Such is his impact," <keyword id="20012835" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="tendulkar" source="keywords">Tendulkar</keyword> wrote. The Tata Archery Academy in Jamshedpur has been the training ground for ace Indian archers Deepika Kumari and Atanu Das for several years. Given Tata Group's involvement in India's Olympic movement, it was hardly a surprise to see an outpouring of tributes from some of country's top athletes. "I'm very sorry to hear about the passing of Shri Ratan Tata ji. He was a visionary, and I'll never forget the conversation I had with him. He inspired this entire nation. I pray that his loved ones find strength. Om Shanti," posted India's track-and-field Olympic gold-winner, Neeraj Chopra. India's first-ever Olympics medal winner in badminton, <keyword id="20204318" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="saina-nehwal" source="keywords">Saina Nehwal</keyword> described him as a great man. "Ratan Tata sir aapki legacy hamesha humare saath rahegi. RIP (sic). (A great man and true visionary. Tata sir your legacy will always remain with us," she said. One of India's greatest spin bowlers and former captain Anil Kumble said, "Mr. Ratan Tata's contribution extends far beyond business. His legacy of giving back to society will continue to inspire future generations. Rest in peace." "An institution who embodied Excellence, Vision and Humility. A Philanthropist par excellence. A massive loss to society. Condolences to the entire Tata family. God bless his soul #RatanTata," wrote former India player and coach <keyword id="19958622" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ravi-shastri" source="keywords">Ravi Shastri</keyword>.

The film is about a brother-sister duo and received mixed reviews. The film, as per reports, collected around Rs 4 crore on its opening day. However, according to actress <keyword id="20316578" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Divya-Khosla-Kumar" source="keywords">Divya Khosla Kumar</keyword>, the collection figures are inflated. Kumar has alleged in a social media post that the <keyword id="20010018" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Vasan-Bala" source="keywords">Vasan Bala</keyword> directorial is witnessing empty theatres and the collection figures reported are wrong. Khosla took to Instagram to call out Bhatt, claiming that she purchased tickets for her own film and falsely reported higher earnings to the public. Sharing a picture of an empty cinema hall on her Instagram Stories, Khosla wrote, “Went to Citi Mall PVR for Jigra show. Theatre was totally empty… all theatres going empty everywhere.” She further alleged, “#Aliabhatt me sach mein bahut #Jigra hai.. khud hi tickets karide aur fake collections announce kar diye. Wonder why paid media is silent. #weshdnotfooltheaudience #truthoverlies #HappyDussehra.” According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, Jigra earned Rs 4.55 crore on its opening day, which fell short of expectations. While urban centres contributed significantly to the earnings, the film struggled to attract audiences from mass-market regions. Despite the lukewarm start, Adarsh noted that the Dussehra holiday might help boost the film’s performance over the weekend. “Jigra opens to lower-than-expected numbers, with a significant contribution from urban centres dominating Day 1. The response from mass pockets is ordinary/lukewarm… The Dussehra holiday should help offset the initial shortfall,” Adarsh wrote. The film also faced stiff competition at the box office, clashing with Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, which stars Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri. Rao’s film outperformed Jigra, collecting Rs 5.71 crore on its opening day. Jigra marks one of Alia Bhatt’s lowest opening weekends since her 2014 film Highway, despite her star power. The film revolves around a sister’s perilous journey to save her brother, with a recreated version of the classic song “Phoolon Ka Taaro Ka” featured in the teaser. Produced by Dharma Productions and Viacom18 Studios, the film is co-written by Debashish Irengbam and Vasan Bala. However, the unexpected controversy and box office numbers have put a damper on what was anticipated to be one of Bhatt’s major releases of the year. As the box office results roll in, Monday’s figures are expected to provide a clearer indication of whether Jigra can recover from its slow start.

Following news of hanging up her gloves earlier, six-time world champion and 2012 Olympic medallist Mangte Chungneijang <keyword id="20322846" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="mary-kom" source="keywords">Mary Kom</keyword> shot down suggestions that she had announced her retirement from boxing on Thursday. In a statement, the legendary boxer said that she would personally come in front of the media when she retires. "Dear Friends from the media, I haven't announced my retirement yet and I have been misquoted. I will personally come in front of the media whenever I want to announce it," Mary Kom said in a statement. News about the 6-time world champion's retirement started doing the rounds after she stated at a school event in <keyword id="223487" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Dibrugarh" source="Orion">Dibrugarh</keyword> on Wednesday that the age limit in the Olympics doesn't allow her to participate The 41-year-old cleared all the doubts and added that she was at a school event in Dibrugarh on Wednesday, where the boxer was "motivating children." "I have gone through some media reports stating that I have announced retirement and this is not true. I was attending a school event in Dibrugarh on January 24, 2024 wherein I was motivating children," said Kom. "I still have a hunger to achieve in sports but the age limit in the Olympics doesn't allow me to participate, though I can carry on with my sport. I am still focusing on my fitness and whenever I announce my retirement, I will inform everyone," her statement added. Mary is the first female boxer in boxing history to have captured six world titles. The five-time Asian champion was the first female boxer from India to take home a gold medal at the 2014 Asian Games. The experienced pugilist won a bronze medal in the London 2012 Olympic Games, leaving any record or title untouched. She introduced herself to the world at the age of 18 at the inaugural world meet in Scranton, Pennsylvania. With her near-flawless boxing style, she impressed everyone and made it to the final of the 48kg category. She fell short in the final but left a mark on the success that she was going to achieve in the future. In the coming years, she went on to become the first Indian to win a gold medal at the AIBA Women's World Boxing Championships. She went on to clinch the World Championship titles in 2005, 2006, 2008 and the 2010 editions. After winning the 2008 title, Mary went on a break after giving birth to her twins. After winning the 2012 Olympic medal, Mary once again went on a break after giving birth to her third child. She marked her return but sealed her place at the summit of the 2018 World Championships, which was held in Delhi. She dominated with a 5-0 win over Ukraine's Hanna Okhota for her sixth world title. A year later, she went on to clinch her eighth world medal, the most by any male or female boxer.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (<keyword id="20253262" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="CAS" source="keywords">CAS</keyword>) has further delayed the verdict on Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat's appeal regarding her disqualification from the women's 50kg final at the Paris Olympics to August 16. According to the Indian Olympic Association (<keyword id="19934453" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="IOA" source="keywords">IOA</keyword>), the verdict, originally scheduled for Tuesday, August 13 at 9:30 pm IST, has been delayed to August 16. "The CAS ad hoc division president has allowed Hon. Dr Annabelle Bennett, Sole Arbitrator in the Vinesh Phogat vs. United World Wrestling (UWW) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) matter, an extension until 6-00 p.m. (Paris time) on Friday, August 16, 2024," IOA said in a statement on Tuesday. "It shouldn't have happened. But, I think something in the favour of Vinesh is going to come... It seems that there are some powers involved in it and she will get the medal... I'll say that her staffs are at fault. It's their duty how to decrease the weight. But, let's see what happens on August 16... Big advocates are there, PM Modi has also taken cognisance and I think the decision will be in our favour..." Jai Prakash said while speaking to ANI. CAS has established an ad hoc division in Paris, led by President Michael Lenard from the US, to handle Olympic cases. This division operates within the Paris judicial court in the 17th arrondissement. Vinesh Phogat was disqualified on the morning of the Paris Olympics final for exceeding the 50kg weight limit. During the weigh-in, she was found to be 100 grams over the limit. Following her disqualification, Phogat had on August 7 requested CAS to award her the silver medal. CAS had previously extended the deadline to August 13. Vinesh had reached the gold medal match by defeating Cuba's Yusneylis Guzman Lopez 5-0 in the semi-finals. The 29-year-old was set to face Sarah Ann Hildebrandt of the United States for the gold but was disqualified for the weight limit breach. A day after her disqualification, Vinesh also announced her decision to retire from wrestling. After Vinesh failed to breach the qualification mark, the Indian Olympic Association members and officials came under scrutiny. IOA President PT Usha on Sunday clarified that the responsibility of weight management of athletes in sports like wrestling, weightlifting, boxing and judo is that of each athlete and his or her coach and not that of the IOA-appointed Chief Medical Officer Dr Dinshaw Pardiwala and his team. Usha said that each Indian athlete in the Paris 2024 <keyword id="20028513" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Olympic-Games" source="keywords">Olympic Games</keyword> in such sport had his or her own support team. These support teams have been working with the athletes over so many years, as per a statement from IOA. CAS has established an ad hoc division in Paris, led by President Michael Lenard from the US, to handle Olympic cases. This division operates within the Paris judicial court in the 17th arrondissement.

While some of the smaller boxes, which seat about eight people, can go for about $400,000, Brown said, many suites are going for over a million.“Price points in Vegas are ludicrous,” Carrega said, adding that he’s seen suites priced as high as $2.5 million. Many of those springing for the top-dollar boxes are sponsors and corporations, Carrega said, adding that he is exclusively working with corporate clients for this year’s event. (The one private client who inquired about tickets decided against it when they learned the price of seats at the 50-yard line: $80,000 a head.)Included with the suites — and even some ticket packages — are food and beverages like top-end liquor and champagne, as well as a private entrance with enhanced security. For an extra $10,000 to $250,000, Carrega arranges in-suite meet-and-greets, pre-game huddles, and photo ops with former Super Bowl champions or commentators.<h3>The game is just the start for the budgetless</h3>Seats to the game are just a jumping-off point for spending.“Everything is bigger and shinier in Las Vegas,” Brown said. “It is just so well suited to keep the party going even a little bit longer than you would at other destinations, and it's fun for members to lean into that — especially when budget is not an issue.”She’s helping her clients get on the list for invite-only parties or secure VIP tickets to events like the annual Maxim fete, which, this year, boasts performers 50 Cent and 21 Savage, as well as five-figure minimum spends for the highest level of access.<div type="image" title="Robert Kraft and Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin" height="3508" width="4853" msid="107555858" hostid="261" sizebytes="1192466"></div>When it comes to accommodations, Vegas is proving easier than many other Super Bowl destinations, Brown said. While a Super Bowl in a smaller town may require renting out a private residence and bringing in staff, Vegas is full of luxury options.For those who don’t gamble, there are suites at the Waldorf Astoria — the presidential ones go for more than $15,000 a night — and the Four Seasons, which is offering an $18,000 per night “big game” rate. Casino fans may prefer the Wynn, whose suites are sold out, but started at about $3,000 per night, Brown said.More in demand than a suite or hot table, though, is private jet parking. With only about 500 spaces available across Sin City’s four airports, the rich are having to take cars in from airports hours away.<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/see-inside-75-million-private-jet-bedroom-bombardier-global-7500-2022-4">Charter service VistaJet</a>, whose private flights cost between $14,000 and $25,000 an hour, recorded a 25% increase in flight bookings over last year’s Super Bowl.“The Super Bowl in Vegas has been, if not the biggest, will be one of the top events that we've seen as a company,” VistaJet US president Leona Qi told BI, adding that demand has eclipsed events like the World Cup and Davos.For each of the plane ride requests, the company will cater to clients' needs. These can include the brand of water they prefer at their preferred temperature, Nobu meals, cupcakes, and even balloons in their favorite team’s colors.But if you didn’t remember to reserve your plane in advance, don’t fret: Many ultra-high-net-worth individuals are "carpooling" on jets this year. And most of the time if you’re hitching a ride, you won’t have to chip in.“At that level, I don’t think they ask friends to pay half,” Qi said. “It’s a future flight you can ask your friends for in return.”
