Indian Supercross Racing League adds new 250cc India category

Posted on October 8, 2026October 8, 2026 by admin

Indian Supercross Racing League 250cc India

146 athletes from across 21 countries have signed up for Season 3 of the Indian Supercross Racing League (ISRL), with rider registrations now officially closed. The upcoming season will also debut a new 250cc category specifically for Indian riders, called ‘250cc Group A Foreign Bikes only – Indian Futures’.

146 riders have registered for ISRL Season 3
Round 1 on December 19-20

2026 Indian Supercross Racing League categories

Three rounds confirmed for Season 3

Bringing the league format to supercross racing, ISRL rounds are held in city centres, with indoor dirt tracks featuring steep jumps and obstacles. The first two seasons featured three categories: 450cc and 250cc for international riders and a separate 250cc category for Indian and Asian riders. The last of these was geared towards giving Indian riders the chance to race alongside and learn from leading supercross riders from across the world.

But a fourth category has been added this year, aimed at giving budding Indian talent the chance break into the supercross arena. This category will feature the same 250cc bikes as the India-Asia Mix category, but will be exclusively for Indian riders. 30 Indian riders have registered for this new category.

Every team has to field two riders per category, so this will also increase Indian representation across the league. “The Indian Futures category is central to our vision of a structured pathway for Indian riders, and the response there has been just as encouraging. As the league grows, our focus remains on building a professional ecosystem that attracts world-class talent and gives Indian riders the platform to realise their potential,” said Eeshan Lokhande, co-founder and director, ISRL.

The Season 3 rider pool brings together some of supercross racing’s most recognised names, including nine-time Australian SX and MX champion Matt Moss (who also won Season 2 of the ISRL) and former MX2 world champion Jordi Tixier. Representing India will be some of the country’s most accomplished supercross riders, including, Rugved Barguje, Prajwal Vishwanath, Shlok Ghorpade and Ikshan Shanbhag.

Seven teams are set to compete in the ISRL this year, including new entrant PBG Racing, backed by Pune’s Punit Balan Group. Bikes are provided by Honda, KTM, Yamaha and Kawasaki. Honda will also take on a larger role at BB Racing this season, joining the team as its new title sponsor.

While the venues haven’t been announced for Season 3 yet, three rounds are confirmed to take place. The season will kick off with Round 1 on December 19-20, followed by Round 2 on January 23-24, 2027. The finale will then be held on February 6-7, 2027.

River Indie now also available on Flipkart

Posted on October 8, 2026October 8, 2026 by admin

Bengaluru-based EV manufacturer River sells just one product so far, the Indie e-scooter. The company also manufactures the EC-06 for Yamaha, which is based on the Indie. Availability has been a limiting factor, and they’re now looking to make it a bit easier for customers to book an Indie.

River currently has over 80 stores across 48 cities in India
The e-scooter is sold in one variant, with a 4kWh battery and 163km IDC range

River Indie on Flipkart: How does the process work?

Living near a River showroom is a requirement

At the time of writing, River has over 80 stores in 48 cities across India, with more in the works. Assuming you live near one of them, you no longer have to visit one in person to book an Indie. The company has listed the Indie on Flipkart, where you can check out and make your booking. Vehicles being sold via e-commerce websites isn’t new, and brands like Royal Enfield, Yezdi, Ather, and Vida are already sold online. . Like with these other manufacturers, once a booking is made, it gets transferred to the nearest dealership, who will fulfill it. After purchase, they’ll take care of the service as well.

To give a brief recap, the River Indie is an e-scooter with a 4kWh battery and a claimed range of 163km with a claimed 90kph top speed. However, the scooter distinguishes itself from the others by prioritising utility over technology. Its 55-litre under seat storage, “the SUV of scooters” tagline, and design all signal that the Indie means business, literally and figuratively. River currently sells the Indie in one variant for Rs 1.57 lakh (ex-showroom, Bengaluru); a price that’s reflected on Flipkart too.

कब मनाया जाएगा विश्व मानसिक स्वास्थ्य दिवस? जानें कब हुई इसकी शुरुआत और क्‍या है उद्देश्‍य?

Posted on October 7, 2026October 8, 2026 by admin

World Mental Health Day 2026: मनुष्य की शारीरिक सेहत की भांति ही उसका मानसिक स्वास्थ्य (Mental Health) भी संपूर्ण जीवन का एक महत्वपूर्ण आधार है। इसी विचार को ध्येय बनाकर प्रति वर्ष 10 अक्टूबर को अंतरराष्‍ट्रीय स्तर पर विश्व मानसिक स्वास्थ्य दिवस मनाया जाता है। इस विश्व स्वास्थ्य संगठन (WHO) के नेतृत्व में मानसिक स्वास्थ्य समस्याओं के प्रति वैश्विक जागरूकता बढ़ाने और मानसिक देखभाल को बढ़ावा देने का प्रयास किया जाता है। कब हुई विश्व मानसिक स्वास्थ्य दिवस की शुरुआत और क्‍या है इस दिवस को मनाने का उद्देश्‍य? आइए जानते हैं विस्‍तार से…

विश्व मानसिक स्वास्थ्य दिवस का इतिहास

विश्व मानसिक स्वास्थ्य दिवस मनाने की शुरुआत वर्ष 1992 में हुई थी। दरअसल उस समय के संयुक्त राष्ट्र के तत्कालीन महासचिव यूजीन ब्रॉडी ने दुनियाभर में इस दिवस को मनाए जाने की सलाह दी थी और स्वास्थ्य संघ की पहल पर ही पहली बार इस दिवस को मनाया गया था। तब से ही यह दिवस अब दुनियाभर में मनाया जाने लगा।

इस अंतरराष्‍ट्रीय अभियान का नेतृत्व विश्व स्वास्थ्य संगठन (WHO) और ‘वर्ल्ड फेडरेशन फॉर मेंटल हेल्थ’ (WFMH) द्वारा संयुक्त रूप से किया जाता है। यह केवल एक औपचारिक दिन नहीं, बल्कि 100 से अधिक देशों में चलाया जाने वाला एक व्यापक जनजागरूकता अभियान है।

विश्व मानसिक स्वास्थ्य दिवस मनाने का उद्देश्‍य

वर्तमान समय में भागदौड़ वाली जिंदगी में तनावरहित जीना बहुत ही मुश्किल हो गया है। हर साल विश्वभर में 10 अक्टूबर को विश्व मानसिक स्वास्थ्य दिवस या मानसिक दिवस मनाया जाता है, जिसका उद्देश्य मेंटल हेल्थ या मानसिक स्वास्थ्य को लेकर लोगों में जागरूकता बढ़ाना है।

विश्व मानसिक स्वास्थ्य दिवस मनाने का उद्देश्‍य जनसामान्य को यह समझाना कि मन की बीमारियां और तनाव भी शरीर की अन्य बीमारियों की तरह स्वाभाविक हैं। साथ ही इस दिवस के जरिए समाज के हर वर्ग तक मानसिक स्वास्थ्य सेवाओं और परामर्श की पहुंच सुनिश्चित करना है।

पीड़ित व्यक्तियों को सही समय पर अपनों का संबल और चिकित्सीय सहायता प्राप्त करने के लिए प्रेरित करना। मानसिक रोग से पीड़ित लोगों को प्रायः समाज की उपेक्षा या पूर्वाग्रहों का सामना करना पड़ता है। यह दिवस इस झिझक और रुढ़िवादिता को तोड़कर खुलकर बात करने का मंच प्रदान करता है।

समय पर लक्षणों की पहचान कर डिप्रेशन, एंग्जायटी (चिंता) और अत्यधिक तनाव जैसी समस्याओं को गंभीर रूप लेने से रोका जा सकता है। विश्व मानसिक स्वास्थ्य दिवस हमें यह स्मरण कराता है कि यदि हम स्वयं या हमारे आसपास कोई व्यक्ति मानसिक दबाव से गुजर रहा है, तो सहायता मांगना कमजोरी नहीं बल्कि बुद्धिमत्ता और साहस का लक्षण है।

मानसिक बीमारियों से बचाव के लिए क्या करें?

व्यस्तता भरे दिनचर्या से खुद के लिए समय निकालें।

पोषक तत्व वाले भोजन को जीवन का हिस्सा बनाएं।

प्रोफेशनल डॉक्टर का सहारा लें।

नकारात्मक लोगों से दूरी रखें।

तनाव को नियंत्रित करें।

मेडिटेशन को अपनाएं।

योग का सहारा लें।

हमेशा खुश रहें।

अकेले न रहें।

TVS Racing International Championship goes to Europe for the first time

Posted on October 6, 2026October 6, 2026 by admin

14 riders who participated on behalf of TVS Racing.

TVS Racing International Championship has gone to a European racetrack for the first time. The second last round of the season unfolded at the Misano World Circuit in Italy, alongside the Coppa Italia racing weekend – which includes superbike races, a Yamaha R7 one-make and an Aprilia RS 457 one-make racing championship.

14 riders competed in the TVS championship during the weekend
Three of the 14 TVS Racing riders were from India

TVS Racing International Championship: First European racing weekend

Italian rider Cristian Borelli takes P1, Sarthak Chavan was the best Indian rider

Racing is hardly new for TVS as the company has had a factory racing program since 1982, starting with the TVS 50 moped. Two of its biggest developments in recent times were the team’s entry into the Asia Road Racing Championship (ARRC) in 2020 and a partnership with Petronas in 2022, which resulted in the creation of TVS Racing One Make Championship in Asia; now known as the TVS Racing International Championship.

However, this is the first time the championship has gone to Europe. In this case, to the Misano World Circuit in Italy. The paddock and the circuit last weekend were shared with Coppa Italia (Italian cup), with 14 riders of the TVS Racing program participating in two races of seven laps each. Three of the fourteen riders were from India, with Sarthak Chavan being the best performer of the three, finishing P7 in the first race, and P6 in the second. The other two Indian riders, Chiranth Vishwanath and Rakshith Srihari Dave finished their races in P10 and P11 in the first; and P8 and P12 in the second, respectively. Sarthak began both races in last after a crash in qualifying. The best overall performer was Italian rider Cristian Borrelli, who finished P1 in both races; the gap between him and Chavan was just 1.973 seconds in the second race.

Cristian Borrelli, winner of both races in TVS Racing International Championship Round 4 — Cristian Borrelli from Italy won both the races earning a double home victory.

With the previous round three in Motegi, Japan, Malaysian rider Mohd Ramdan Rosli tops the ARRC standings with 101 points. India’s Sarthak Chavan follows him with 80 points. Luis Miguel (Spain) with 54 points, Oratilwe Phiri (Republic of South Africa) also with 54 points, and Chiranth Vishwanath (India) with 49 points follow the two in P3, P4 and P5 respectively. Chiranth won the first of two races conducted in Round 3 with a 0.014 second lead awarding him the win.

The concluded round in Italy was round four and the second last round of the championship, with the last round slated to happen in Buriram, Thailand alongside ARRC. While this was the first time the championship went to an European racetrack, it certainly won’t be the last time. TVS Racing is likely to take the championship out of Asia again next year for at least one round, although exact details are yet to be revealed.

Potential SUV fatigue may revive sedans: Skoda’s Ashish Gupta

Posted on October 6, 2026October 6, 2026 by admin

Potential SUV fatigue may revive sedans: Skoda's Ashish Gupta

Skoda has announced the prices of the 2026 Slavia facelift, and while speaking to Autocar Professional about the sedan segment, Skoda Auto India brand director Ashish Gupta said, “SUVs are the flavour of the season…but as time progresses and as the Indian market matures, the fatigue will lead to people looking at sedans once again because this is the quintessential car.”

Gupta attributed the current overall market growth to a lot of first-time buyers, who may eventually look at having an additional car in the family. “When you have an additional car in the family, you would typically go for either alternate powertrains or for different body styles,” he added.

Skoda wants to retain its sedan presence

“I’m looking forward to that as customer trends change, and we will start loving sedans once again, other than Skoda sedans as well. I think this category has the potential to grow as well in the future,” remarked Gupta. Skoda therefore wants to retain its presence in the sedan segment as buyer preferences evolve.

Slavia sales averaged around 1,500 to 1,600 units a month last year but have fallen to around 1,000 to 1,100 units this year. Gupta attributed the decline to the company running out the pre-facelift cars. With the facelift now on sale and the festive season underway, he expects sales to return to previous levels.

“The midsize sedan segment in India right now is at around 4,000 to 4,500 units per month, with the Slavia making up nearly 30 percent of all sales in the segment,” Gupta had said earlier. Slavia competes with the Volkswagen Virtus, Hyundai Verna and Honda City. Skoda and its sister brand Volkswagen together account for almost 70 percent of the segment, he had stated.

Limiting factors

“Most of the new product launches and introductions are happening in the SUV segment and other body styles,” Gupta had said earlier. He also said that growth in the sedan segment is being held back by automakers focusing more on SUVs. “We, as manufacturers, should take the responsibility for this, as we have not focused on the sedan segment.”

Skoda India’s sedan portfolio

The Slavia is the entry point to Skoda’s sedan line-up in India, above which sits the fully-imported Octavia RS. The new Superb, due to launch in 2027, will arrive as a full import as well. Skoda, therefore, will have a diversified portfolio to cater to difference audiences – the Slavia in the mass segment, the Octavia RS for the enthusiast and the Superb for the premium buyer.

Asked whether Skoda would continue to invest in the sedan segment beyond 2030, and whether it remains an integral part of its future strategy, Gupta said, “It will always be, and if you look at our global portfolio as well, the Octavia and Superb continue to be bestsellers. For our entire portfolio strategy and going forward as well, sedans do form an integral part and so is the case in India.”

Discussions on the next generation have begun. With limited resources and competing investment demands, Skoda will now be assessing which markets can deliver sufficient customers, volumes and profitability.

Ampere Nexus EX+ launched at Rs 1.30 lakh

Posted on October 6, 2026October 6, 2026 by admin

Studio render showing the front left quarter of Ampere Nexus EX+

Ampere has launched the Nexus EX+ at Rs 1.30 lakh, the electric scooter’s updated version, featuring a more powerful 5kW motor and an IP65-rated water-resistant charger. The e-scooter is available in two variants, with the higher-spec variant adding Ampere’s Intellipack connected technology, which brings features such as turn-by-turn navigation, geofencing, call alerts and more.

EX+ gets a 5kW motor compared to the previous 4kW motor
Now comes with an IP65-rated 750W charger
Intellipack-equipped variant costs Rs 6,000 more

Ampere Nexus EX+: What’s new?

Now gets a powerful motor, IP65-rated charger and an optional Intellipack

The 5kW motor now produces 202Nm of peak torque at the wheel (bear in mind, the multiplication factor of the gearing on EVs always exaggerates torque numbers), which allows the scooter to accelerate from 0-40kph in 4.5 seconds (claimed). It is also claimed to improve the gradeability on steep climbs, flyovers and hilly roads. The scooter also gets an IP65-rated water-resistant 750W charger, which should give some peace of mind when charging out in open spaces or for those who don’t have shaded parking.

The Intellipack equipped version uses Ampere’s Connect App to provide more than 30 connected features. These include turn-by-turn navigation, geo fencing, call alerts, live location sharing, real-time charging status, find my scooter and many more. The standard Nexus EX+ is priced at Rs 1.30 lakh, while the Nexus EX+ with Intellipack costs Rs 1.36 lakh.

The scooter uses a 3kWh LFP battery with a claimed IDC range of 136km. The Nexus EX+ also gets a five-year/75,000km warranty for the battery and three-year/30,000km warranty for the rest of the scooter. The new Nexus EX+ and Nexus EX+ with Intellipack are available through Ampere dealerships across India.

Earlier, the Nexus was available in two variants EX and ST with their primary differences being the instrument clusters, connected features, and price points. Now, Ampere seems to have streamlined the portfolio and the two EX+ variants are the only way to buy a Nexus.

The Nexus EX+ is positioned in the mid-to-high segment of family electric scooters, where it competes with other major players like the TVS iQube 3.1kWh, Ather Konarc, Vida VX2 and the Chetak C3001, making it one of the compelling option for buyer prioritizing range and features.

Volkswagen Group considers selling Ducati

Posted on October 6, 2026October 6, 2026 by admin

It’s no secret that Volkswagen Group, the German behemoth that owns brands such as Audi, Bugatti and Lamborghini, is in financial trouble. Facing fierce competition from Chinese firms, the group already announced plans to lay off 50,000 employees in Germany alone by 2030, and the fate of several factories across the world has also become uncertain. We also received reports of the Volkswagen Group considering a simplified variant line-up for cars across its brands. It now appears the two-wheeler business will be impacted too.

Ducati is one of the Volkswagen Group brands being evaluated for a possible sale
In 2025, it reported EUR 925 million revenue and EUR 52 million operating profit
Patritalia, another Italian company, had already made an offer for Ducati and MV Agusta

Ducati sale is under evaluation, but no decisions have been made yet

This isn’t the first time Ducati is being evaluated for sale

Claudio Domenicali, CEO of the Borgo Panigale manufacturer, confirmed that the parent group is evaluating the brand’s future. “We are aware of the shareholders’ plan to reevaluate its holdings. Ducati is one of these holdings, but no final decision has been made on Ducati yet: it’s one of the ongoing evaluations,” Domenicali told GPOne in a press interaction at the brand’s “Ducati 100 – A century on display” exhibition in Bologna, Italy. To be clear, this doesn’t mean Volkswagen Group is bent on selling Ducati; it merely confirms that it is evaluating that possibility. The brand is among 600 of the group’s 2,000 businesses being reviewed. Now, Audi CEO Gernot Dollner has confirmed Domenicali’s claim, saying, “It’s part of the evaluation process that we’ll also talk about Ducati, but nothing has been decided.”

Bloomberg reported in early June that Volkswagen Group’s supervisory board approved slimming down its portfolio by a third, with the layoffs being a part of it, and approved the sale of a 51 percent of its stake in Everllence ship-engine unit, which is expected to bring EUR 7.4 billion. In contrast, a Ducati sale is expected to bring around EUR 1.25 billion.

This isn’t the first time Ducati is being evaluated for sale. The group acquired Ducati in 2012 and then considered selling it in 2017 before quickly changing its mind. The Italian superbike manufacturer has steadily become synonymous with innovation in motorsport and has been highly successful in the World Superbike Championship (WSBK), MXGP and, of course, MotoGP. Ducati reported revenue of EUR 925 million and operating profit of EUR 52 million in 2025.

Ducati already has a potential buyer in Patritalia

An Italian investor who wants to have all-Italian technicians, MV Agusta and all MotoGP classes

If Volkswagen Group decides to hand off Ducati, there is already someone waiting in the lobby. In August, Italy-based Patritalia expressed more than an interest in acquiring Ducati, after doing the same for MV Agusta, which is also in hot water. However, some of Patritalia’s plans for the brands have already riled up quite the chatter, according to Visordown. The group has expressed interest in taking over as the sole engine supplier for Moto2, which is currently powered by Triumph, while also advocating for a more open market across all three MotoGP classes. Secondly, it has outlined a preference for Ducati to have a predominantly Italian workforce. Volkswagen Group had previously made it clear that Ducati isn’t up for sale, but considering things have changed since then, we will have to await further developments.

Triumph has been the sole engine supplier for Moto2 since 2019, when it took over from Honda. It also recently announced that it is bringing a new engine with increased peak power delivery to the class from next year. Moto3 is slated to get Yamaha as the sole engine supplier from 2028, with the R7 engine heavily modified and adapted for the class, replacing KTM and Honda. Changing either Triumph or Yamaha would require their consent, as well as consent from Liberty Media, the current owner of the MotoGP brand. Considering that both companies have announced plans for the future and that Volkswagen hasn’t been receptive to Patritalia’s bids so far, its aspirations have a slim chance of becoming a reality at the moment.

MotoGP 2026: Marc Marquez wins Japanese GP

Posted on October 5, 2026October 5, 2026 by admin

Marquez celebrates Japanese GP victory on the podium

With victory in Saturday’s Sprint race at Motegi, Marc Marquez had cut Martin’s lead in the championship to seven points going into Sunday. After the same result on race day, that margin is now down to just two points. The victory marked Marquez’s fourth win at Motegi and his 79th MotoGP victory overall, on the same circuit where he clinched his title a year ago.

Martin leads the championship, but the gap to Marquez narrows to 2 points
Bezzecchi holds off Bastianini in a tense final lap

Martin leads early

Martin took the holeshot from pole and controlled the opening laps with Marquez in close attendance. By the middle stages of the race, the pair had pulled clear of Bezzecchi in third, with the rest of the field settled into their positions behind. Alex Marquez was required to serve a double long-lap penalty for his role in a Sprint incident and dropped to P9 as a consequence.

On Lap 11, Marquez made a move down the inside of Martin to take the lead. Martin fought back initially and closed the gap to under a second, but the defending champion responded by setting the fastest lap of the race and pushing his advantage back over 1.2 seconds just a couple of laps later. From there, Marquez managed his advantage and crossed the chequered flag for his sixth victory of the season.

Bezzecchi and Bastianini fight for the podium

Behind the leading pair, the more compelling battle in the closing laps was for third. Bastianini set four consecutive fastest laps in the final stages to reel in Bezzecchi, but the Italian held on across the line, with Bastianini finishing just 0.4 seconds short of a podium that would have been his first of the year.

Further back, Raul Fernandez took fifth after a battle with home favourite Ai Ogura, while Pedro Acosta, who recently claimed his first-ever GP victory at the Austrian GP, finished behind him. Bagnaia finished eighth, Aldeguer ninth and Luca Marini tenth.

Championship standings

Martin heads to Indonesia holding a two-point lead over Marquez (333 to 331), while Bezzecchi is now 49 points back in third. The Mandalika circuit in Lombok has historically suited Aprilia, giving Martin reason for optimism ahead of Round 17.

प्रदर्शनकारी पहलवानों से लड़कर एशियाड पहुंचे सुजीत ने जीता गोल्ड मेडल (Video)

Posted on October 5, 2026October 8, 2026 by admin

एशियाई खेलों में अपने चयन को लेकर कानूनी लड़ाई के तीन साल बाद, सुजीत कलकल ने एशियाई खेलों का चैंपियन बनकर एक शानदार सफर पूरा किया। स्वदेश पहुंचने पर उनका एयपोर्ट पर जोरदार स्वागत हुआ।उन्होंने पुरुषों की फ्रीस्टाइल 65 किग्रा फ़ाइनल में ताजिकिस्तान के वर्ल्ड मेडलिस्ट अब्दुलमजीद कुदिएव को 10-9 से हराकर ज़बरदस्त वापसी की।

मैच खत्म होने में दो मिनट से भी कम समय बचा था और सुजीत 2-9 से पीछे चल रहे थे, लेकिन उन्होंने हार नहीं मानी। 23 साल के सुजीत ने लगातार हमले किए और तेज़ी से तीन ‘टेकडाउन’ करके अंकों का अंतर कम किया। जब 11 सेकंड बचे थे, तब भी कुदिएव एक अंक से आगे थे, लेकिन सुजीत ने एक आखिरी ‘टेकडाउन’ हासिल कर लिया। इन दो अंकों ने उन्हें 10-9 से आगे कर दिया और खेलों की सबसे रोमांचक वापसी में से एक को पूरा किया।

8 साल बाद कुश्ती में भारत का पहला गोल्ड मेडल

यह 2018 के बाद एशियाई खेलों में कुश्ती में भारत का पहला गोल्ड मेडल था। सुजीत पुरुषों की 65 किग्रा फ्रीस्टाइल का खिताब जीतने वाले तीसरे भारतीय बन गए; उनसे पहले ओलंपिक मेडलिस्ट योगेश्वर दत्त (2014) और बजरंग पूनिया (2018) ने यह खिताब जीता था।इस जीत के साथ ही उस सफर का सुखद अंत हुआ, जिसकी शुरुआत तीन साल पहले निराशा के साथ हुई थी।

VIDEO | “Bajrang pahalwan (Punia) was allowed to participate in World Championship without any trial. In the World Ranking Series, I had defeated the US wrestler 8-2 who had thrashed Bajrang pahalwan 10-0. I just want that every wrestler should get an equal opportunity,” says wrestler Sujeet Kalkal. (Source: Third Party)

सुजीत ने 2022 के एशियाई खेलों (जो आखिरकार 2023 में हुए) के लिए 65 किग्रा कैटेगरी में ट्रायल की मांग करते हुए दिल्ली हाई कोर्ट का दरवाजा खटखटाया था। खेल मंत्रालय द्वारा रेसलिंग फेडरेशन ऑफ इंडिया की मान्यता रद्द किए जाने के बाद भारतीय कुश्ती का कामकाज देख रही एड-हॉक कमेटी ने बजरंग पूनिया को सीधे टीम में एंट्री दे दी थी।

सुजीत ने महिला पहलवान अंतिम पंघाल के साथ मिलकर इस फैसले को कोर्ट में चुनौती दी। अंतिम आखिरकार टीम में जगह बनाने और ब्रॉन्ज मेडल जीतने में सफल रहीं, जबकि विनेश फोगाट को बिना ट्रायल के 53 किग्रा कैटेगरी में सीधे एंट्री दी गई। हालांकि, सुजीत को कोर्ट से कोई राहत नहीं मिली।

किस्मत का खेल देखिए, तीन साल पहले बजरंग हार गए थे, जिससे 65 किग्रा कैटेगरी में भारत का दबदबा खत्म हो गया था। बजरंग के 2018 में गोल्ड जीतने से पहले योगेश्वर ने 2014 में गोल्ड मेडल जीता था।

2026 F1: Verstappen wins chaotic Bahrain GP in Malaysia

Posted on October 5, 2026October 5, 2026 by admin

Max Verstappen F1 Bahrain GP in Malaysia

Max Verstappen converted pole position into victory at the Bahrain GP in Malaysia. F1’s first race at Sepang in nine years got off to a chaotic start when it started raining an hour before the start. This, followed by an aborted start procedure after multiple cars stopped on track due to a software issue, resulted in the race staring an hour and a half late.

Behind Verstappen, Kimi Antonelli held on to second place to further extend his title lead as his Mercedes teammate George Russell retired with just a handful of laps to go. Despite dropping down the order in the early stages, Lewis Hamilton pulled off an incredible recovery to make it to the podium.

Verstappen wins, 2.307 sec ahead of Antonelli
Antonelli extends title lead by 84 points after Russell’s retirement

Verstappen wins in Malaysia; Russell retires

Verstappen initially dropped behind Antonelli and Russell when the race finally got underway. But the four-time world champion eventually reclaimed the lead and controlled the pace out at front from there on. He defended that lead through a Virtual Safety Car and even a full Safety Car period to secure his and Red Bull Racing’s first win of the season.

“What an incredible result! The race was not made easy for us with all the decisions we had to make and then the Safety Car at the end on top of everything. But we made all the right calls with the tyres, kept our cool, and it all paid off,” said Verstappen.

Antonelli finished 2.307 seconds behind in second place. His teammate Russell was on course to finish third, but with just a few laps to go, he was forced to stop due to a PU issue. This comes as a major hit to Russell’s championship chances, with the gap to leader Antonelli now standing at 84 points – that’s more than three race wins.

Ferrari recovers from early setback

Ferrari fumbled strategy, with Hamilton and Leclerc starting the race on soft tyres. With the track still wet, both drivers dropped down the order. While Leclerc pitted early to switch to intermediate tyres, Hamilton – who was now down in P17 – stayed on the softs. He eventually made the tyres work, though, as the track started drying.

Russell’s retirement helped the Brit finish P3. “Sepang is always a great track to race on, but today is definitely one of the most memorable. It was a really demanding race and not an easy one to manage from the start, but the team did a fantastic job staying calm and executing well after a difficult opening phase,” said Hamilton.

“We found ourselves on the back foot very early on with the tyre choice, yet everyone stayed focused and kept pushing. We didn’t give up despite a big gap building straight away, and step by step we managed to fight our way back into contention and keep the pressure on until the flag. To finish on the podium after the way the race began feels really satisfying and is a great reward for the hard work, determination and resilience everyone showed today.”

Leclerc finished behind in him fourth place, handing Ferrari a strong points haul. McLaren’s Oscar Piastri crossed the line P6, followed by Racing Bulls’ Liam Lawson and Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso. Lando Norris, in the second McLaren car, ended up P9 after losing control behind the Safety Car. Racing Bulls’ Arvid Linblad completed the top 10.

Next up on the F1 calendar is the Singapore GP on October 9-11.
