Mumbai, May 14 -- For 11 years running, Paris Olympics relay silver-medallist Akani Simbine, who anchored South Africa to the men's 4x100m World Relays gold on Sunday and carries the world-leading 100m time this year, has gone under 10 seconds in 100m. It earned him the nickname of "sub-10 king", and a record stretch that moved him past Usain Bolt (10 years). Yet, before the 31-year-old could make the magical mark of the sprint world almost routine, he took a while to reach that threshold.

Mumbai: The senior World Championships in Doha starting on May 17 and the Asian Youth Championships (June 26-July 2) in Tashkent will provide the Indian table tennis team’s head coach Massimo Costantini a chance to take stock of and draw a roadmap in an area where Indians have had greater success at global level: doubles. The plan assumes greater significance given that all three doubles events will return to the TT programme at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
