Tall tosses, short stature, three world titles: the Yamaguchi method

Tall tosses, short stature, three world titles: the Yamaguchi method

Published by Webster

Many shuttlers challenged Chinese dominance in women’s singles. But nobody shattered the Chinese canon of what a badminton champion’s ideal frame ought to be quite like Akane Yamaguchi. Three World titles and still going strong on the circuit, she grew up in Katsuyama, a city of mere 25,000 in remote Fukui Prefecture, emerging on the Tour around the same time as PV Sindhu. Her lack of Olympic medals allows self-appointed legacy-auditors to question her achievements. But she punctured the China-propagated myth that you needed to be tall, rangy and consequently powerful to succeed in the sport. Height helps significantly, of course. But you can be 5-foot-1 and still combine consistency with longevity on the Tour in a way envied by the best of the Chinese and the rest of the world. An Se-young has her number, but at 29, Yamaguchi is the last from the golden generation still contesting Tour finals, as she has done these last three Sundays. The Chinese, right up to Xie Xingfang, Zhang Ning and Yihan Wang, believed in scouting tall …

Published by Parlour News

Bollywood actor and former Miss India Pooja Batra recently reflected on her experiences in the film industry and spoke about the challenges she faced because of her height. Recalling the early years of her career, Pooja revealed that she was often asked to perform splits in front of the camera to appear shorter than her male co-stars. She added that the struggles she went through eventually helped pave the way for taller actors like Deepika Padukone and Kriti Sanon to be accepted more comfortably in Bollywood. Pooja Batra says Deepika Padukone and Kriti Sanon should thank her. Pooja Batra recalls losing movies because of her height Pooja started her career as a model and later shifted to acting in Bollywood films. Recalling the transition, she told Harper’s Bazaar India, “It was tough. I remember I was told by Sangeeta Bijlani, ‘You don’t have a chance in the movies because you’re too tall.’ She’s my idol. She’s beautiful, and she’s a model too. I gave every role I got my best even though the heroes got …

After the top order dismissal, he steadily revived the innings taking the side from 11/3 towards the chase.

Battle of Panipat’s legacy: 500-year-old Kabuli Bagh Masjid stands tall

Battle of Panipat’s legacy: 500-year-old Kabuli Bagh Masjid stands tall

Published by Parlour News

Surrounded by a large number of handloom-making units, narrow alleys and bustling houses, the 500-year-old Mughal-era Kabuli Bagh Masjid still stands tall in Panipat. Hazi Kalimudin, an 82-year-old from Bihar’s Araria was visiting the mosque on Monday with his nephew Afzan Khan, who works at a local factory. (HT Photo) Built in 1526 AD, the mosque was built by Mughal ruler Babur to commemorate his victory over Sultan Ibrahim Lodhi of the Lodhi dynasty in the First Battle of Panipat in 1526. “Though the prayers at the monument remain shut for decades, the mosque is still preserving the memory of the battle which changed the course of India for years to come,” Ram Mohan Rai, an advocate and public historian, said. It is said that Babur named the mosque after his wife Mussamat Kabuli Begum. According to the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), the central prayer hall has its cells on either side of the mehrab, which is engraved with verses from the holy Quran. Faizan Khan, an 18-year-old boy who just finished his schooling, …

Mukesh Kumar stands tall at Delhi Capitals; sometimes, it appears he bowls wides deliberately in a crazy tactic

Mukesh Kumar stands tall at Delhi Capitals; sometimes, it appears he bowls wides deliberately in a crazy tactic

Published by Parlour News

Delhi Capitals is not exactly a reliable franchise to support. If you are one of their fans, more often than not, the Indian Premier League (IPL) is not a great experience, season in and season out. This season too, keeping in line with their performances over the years, they started well by winning their first two matches, but it didn’t take them long to come crashing down to the ground as they lost to Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings rather badly. But amid this see-saw, medium pacer Mukesh Kumar has been absolutely terrific. Mukesh Kumar has been simply outstanding this season. (PTI) There has not been a single game where Mukesh hasn’t left a good impression. In the team’s opening game against Lucknow Super Giants, he returned figures of 0/17 in three overs. Against Mumbai Indians, he got rid of Ryan Rickelton and Tilak Varma early on and finished with 2/26 in three overs. Against GT, a match that they should have won, he was expensive with figures of 2/55, but he wasn’t entirely …

PV Sindhu’s frame-sake, the tall Devika Sihag, claims first Super 300 title at Thailand after opponent retires from injury | Badminton News

Published by Webster

3 min readUpdated: Feb 1, 2026 03:07 PM IST Devika Sihag, the 20-year-old shuttler from Hansi in Punjab, who stands tall at 172 cms (5’9″), has struck her first tournament title victory at the Super 300 level. In a brilliant week where she didn’t drop a single set, Devika upset two seeded players, including top seed Supanida Katethong, on way to making the finals. Against a clearly struggling Goh Jin Wei who has played 4 three setters all week, Devika was hardly stretched, winning after her opponent retired when 21-8, 6-3 down. Thailand always portends good omens for Indians as this is where Kidambi Srikanth and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty struck their first titles of note. Devika, whose tall frame helps her with a fluid attack, has struggled to break through due to persistent knee patella issues. She had also been low on confidence this past season as niggles held her back. However, this week, she has benefitted from having former national champ Sayali Gokhale in her corner, who struck a title immediately on …

3 min readJan 30, 2026 11:24 PM IST Devika Sihag, the 20-year-old shuttler from Punjab training at Bangalore, benefits from her long levers just like PV Sindhu. But more crucially, her attacking style opens up options that can trouble the big names in coming years. On Friday, playing the Princess Sirivannavari Thailand Masters Super 300 at Patumwan, the rangy shuttler came good against World No 16 Supanida Katethong to leave behind some frustrating months of almost-there results. Devika was 4-9 down against the Thailand southpaw who has often troubled Sindhu in the past, but is currently struggling with niggles. Still, the Indian went on a 5 point spree, and then kept the top seed at arm’s length, picking the right stroke to break the 19-19 deadlock. There was an exact same flurry in the second to go 10-6 up, and though Katethong went 17-16 ahead, Devika showed good aggression and calm to finish off on a canter in the second straight set, parrying off an offensive past the break. “My first time against Supanida, and …
