The window for athletes to train is shrinking in and around the National Capital Region because of toxic air in winter and searing summers. As the country makes a pitch for the 2036 Olympics, The Indian Express spoke to coaches and athletes from a wide range of sports — boxing, wrestling, athletics and para-athletics, cycling, shooting, hockey and also experts — on the impact of the conditions on health and training.

Australian Open: How does Carlos Alcaraz rate Roger Federer’s recently developed golf game? | Tennis News

Published by Webster

Praise over Roger Federer’s biomechanics continued at the Australian Open – first when the legendary Swiss 20-time Grand Slam winner was part of the inaugural opening ceremony and practiced with Casper Ruud, where his characteristic single-handed backhand made its comeback onto Australian shores. And secondly when Spanish World No 1 Carlos Alcaraz was quizzed on his golf session with Federer amid an ongoing attempt to win the season-opening slam. “It’s as beautiful as the tennis!” Alcaraz said. “I’m not surprised. It’s unbelievable. Everything he does, he does in style, really beautiful. On the golf course, it’s a really beautiful swing.” Federer, who left the game in 2022 after a persistent knee injury didn’t allow him the farewell to tennis he dreamed for himself, has now been marketed at the 2026 Australian Open as a retirement tour of sorts. It has seen him practice with Ruud, and play in ‘Battle of the No 1s’ where he played a doubles match with Lleyton Hewitt and Andre Agassi and make an eyebrow-raising claim that after watching Grigor Dimitrov …

Fatima Sana Shaikh has opened up on two health hazards that she’s been combating for years now. While one is her condition of epilepsy, the other is an eating disorder that she developed after the weight gain she underwent for her debut film, Nitesh Tiwari’s 2016 blockbuster family sports drama Dangal, in which she played a wrestler. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW VIDEO Fatima’s eating disorder “I have had a love-hate relationship with myself, and I’ve been addicted to a certain image of myself. I’ve had a toxic relationship with food. I put on weight in Dangal because I had to. When I’m goal-oriented, I’d do everything. I was training for three hours, so I had to consume 2,500-3,000 calories every day for me to gain weight. When the movie got over, I wasn’t training as much, but I was still having 3,000 calories because I was used to it,” revealed Fatima. That shift in her routine made her very “unfit” and “unhealthy.” “Food became my comfort space. I could eat nonstop for hours. I hate myself …

Published by Parlour News

Ahead of the COP30 climate meeting starting in Belem, Brazil, next week, a new report on climate finance has asked developed countries to work together to formulate a clear delivery plan by next year for the $300 billion per year that they have promised to mobilise every year from 2035 to help developing nations deal with climate change. The report has also asked the developed nations to significantly scale up current levels of grants and concessional finance being provided through bilateral or multilateral channels to help efforts to raise more resources for the developing countries, in addition to the $300 billion that has been promised.  The Report on Baku to Belem Roadmap to 1.3T was commissioned last year to address the disappointment among the developing countries over the finance deal finalised in Baku, Azerbaijan, during the COP29 meeting.
