Not long ago, Pooja Singh was practicing high jumps in her Haryana village using bamboo poles and sacks instead of professional equipment. Today, she’s India’s new national record holder. The daughter of a construction worker, Pooja’s journey wasn’t built in world-class stadiums. It was built with jugaad, persistence, and countless jumps when nobody was watching. At the Asian U20 Championships in Hong Kong, the 19-year-old cleared 1.93m, breaking a senior national record that had stood untouched for 14 years and becoming the first Indian woman to win the high jump title at the event. Before that, she had already crossed 1.91m to better her own U20 national mark. And at just 19, she hasn’t just raised the bar for Indian athletics, she’s raised it for every young girl who’s been told to dream smaller. #PoojaSingh #IndianAthletics #AsianU20 #SportsIndia #WomenInSports [Indian Athletics, High Jump, National Record, Inspiring Stories]

ON THIS DAY in 1956, Yuri Vardanyan, the Armenian Weightlifting Legend Who Set 43 World Records & Broke 5 in a Single Olympic Day, Was Born. 🇦🇲 70 years ago today, on June 13, 1956, one of the greatest weightlifters in history was born in Leninakan, the city now known as Gyumri. Yuri Vardanyan would go on to become an Olympic Champion, a seven-time World Champion, and the Armenian titan who set 43 world records and stood atop the world of weightlifting through the late 1970s and early 1980s. Vardanyan began training in 1970 at the age of 14 under his uncle Sergey Vardanyan at the legendary Lokomotiv club, in a city already famous for producing some of the strongest men in the world. By 20, he had broken every world record in his division. By 21, he was a World Champion. By 24, he was an Olympic gold medalist. Moscow, 1980: Five World Records In A Single Day When Vardanyan stepped onto the platform at the 1980 Moscow Summer Olympics, no one in the arena could have predicted what they were about to witness. Over the course of a single afternoon in the light heavyweight 82.5 kg category, he rewrote the record books five times. He broke through the 400-kilogram barrier in his class, a number long thought beyond human reach, and walked away with the gold medal around his neck. With it, he became the first Armenian ever to stand atop an Olympic weightlifting podium. Across a career that lasted barely a decade, he amassed 43 world records, claimed seven World Championship golds including five consecutive years from 1977 to 1981, won five European titles, and stood as the undisputed king of his division through the late 1970s and early 1980s. The Soviet Union named him Honoured Master of Sports in 1977 and awarded him the Order of Lenin in 1985. In 1994, the International Weightlifting Federation inducted him into its Hall of Fame. The Olympic Crown He Was Denied The full measure of Vardanyan's career carries a quiet tragedy: by the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics he was at his peak and the heavy favorite for a second gold, but the Soviet boycott denied him the stage. He competed at the Friendship Games instead, dominated, and retired the following year at 29. After his career, Vardanyan returned to public life in Armenia, serving as adviser to President Sargsyan, Minister of Sports in 2013, and later Armenia's Ambassador to Georgia. He passed away on November 1, 2018, at the age of 62 in the United States. The Pride Of Gyumri Yuri Vardanyan was a son of Gyumri, the city devastated by the 1988 Spitak earthquake and rebuilt in the decades that followed. Gyumri's weightlifters have long been a source of national pride, and Vardanyan stands at the front of that tradition, the man who lifted Armenian sport onto the world's highest podium and held it there. 70 years after his birth, his records remain landmarks, his Olympic gold a touchstone, and his name one of the most beloved in the history of Armenian sport. #YuriVardanyan #ArmenianOlympian #ArmenianWeightlifting #Gyumri #ArmenianSports

A fun-filled trip to Malvan ended in tragedy after a 25-year-old tourist from Sangli died following a dive into the shallow end of a swimming pool at a resort in Vayari. A video of the incident has since gone viral on social media. The deceased has been identified as Shrenik Milind Takale (25), a resident of Islampur in Sangli district and originally from Kasba Sangaon in Kolhapur district. According to police and local sources, Shrenik had travelled to Malvan with a group of 10 friends for a weekend getaway. The group was staying at a resort in Vayari, where they were spending the afternoon enjoying the swimming pool. While some friends were swimming, others were dancing around the pool. As music played, Shrenik joined in the fun and climbed to an elevated spot before diving into the pool. Shrenik landed in the shallow section of the swimming pool, which was only about four feet deep and meant for children. The impact caused his head to strike the bottom of the pool with great force, leaving him with severe head injuries. Initial reports suggest that he jumped from a height of around eight to ten feet without realising he was diving into the shallow end of the pool. His friends immediately pulled him out of the water and rushed him to Malvan Rural Hospital. However, doctors declared him dead before treatment could begin. After being informed about the incident, his father and other family members reached Malvan later that night. Police conducted a spot inspection and registered a case of accidental death. Further investigation into the incident is underway. The heartbreaking incident has sparked discussions about swimming pool safety, especially the importance of checking water depth before diving. Family members said that discussions about Shrenik's marriage had recently begun, making the loss even more devastating for his loved ones.

"I am a free bird in water. I can move my entire body inside water, thanks to zero gravity. But my wheelchair keeps me caged on land." Geetha Kannan (42) is a wheelchaired person who LOVES swimming independently. Look at her swimming in the Nehru Stadium pool (video 1). She describes how she began doing exercises in water (hydrotherapy), & slowly began swimming 6 months ago. Now, she has bagged three gold medals in a state-level swimming competition in March. (Video 2) But she travels for 1.5 hours from Tambaram to Nehru Stadium every day for her two-hour swim, because #Chennai has barely two accessible pools out of seven public pools. There are around 1.5 lakh people with disabilities in the city and only 150 are trained in swimming lately. There are three Paralympic swimming gold medallists from the city, including Geetha. Not much money or efforts are needed to make a pool accessible. Ramps, tactile flooring, seating lifts, spacious toilets. Despite courts insisting on making every building accessible to all people, many spaces are not yet accessible, including pools, where disabled can feel 'abled'. "If there are more accessible swimming pools, more golds, silvers and bronzes will come to our city from many PwDs," said Geetha.

Sufiya Sufi left behind a secure 10-year career in aviation to chase a dream that began with just a 3 km run. In 2019, she ran from Kashmir to Kanyakumari in 87 days and created a Guinness World Record.

The ocean off Cabo does not care how good of a swimmer you are and this video is proof - this guy jumped off the boat and that current grabbed him and made the swim back feel like it lasted a lifetime. You can see him fighting to get back and it is not until you watch it that you realize just how fast the water can take you somewhere you never planned to go. And let us not forget Cabo is known for shark activity in those waters - a rope, a float, anything thrown in the water at that moment could have been the difference between a story he tells and one nobody ever hears. The current alone was dangerous enough but being that far from the boat in open ocean water with everything swimming beneath the surface is a completely different level of risk that most people never think about until it is too late. Glad he made it back. Are you a good swimmer? That one could have gone a whole different direction.

You can see him fighting to get back and it is not until you watch it that you realize just how fast the water can take you somewhere you never planned to go. And let us not forget Cabo is known for shark activity in those waters - a rope, a float, anything thrown in the water at that moment could have been the difference between a story he tells and one nobody ever hears. The current alone was dangerous enough but being that far from the boat in open ocean water with everything swimming beneath the surface is a completely different level of risk that most people never think about until it is too late. Glad he made it back. Are you a good swimmer? That one could have gone a whole different direction.

Two years ago today, Kendrick Lamar shook up hip-hop with his verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s Like That, a moment many point to as the start of the 2024 rap feud with Drake. On the track, the Compton rapper dismissed the idea of a “Big Three” in rap, a line that quickly sparked debate across the culture and helped push years of tension between the two artists into the open. The record also became a massive commercial success, peaking at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and the Billboard Global 200. The moment set the stage for one of the most talked-about rap battles in recent memory, with diss tracks and nonstop fan debate dominating headlines throughout 2024.

Enhanced Games athlete in photo is James “The Missile” Magnussen. Australian swimmer with an Olympic silver medal. Said he’d “juice to the gills” if offered $1m to break 50m freestyle record of 20.88. Enhanced Games agreed. This vid of him is most viewed on its YouTube channel and top comment is incredible: “you can see his back from his front”. Absolute tank. 6’6 and will weigh ~250lbs for the swim. For the inaugural Enhanced Games this weekend, Magnussen will also wear a full-body polyurethane super swimming suit that was banned after 2008 Beijing Olympics (he’s been training and doping at a facility in LV).

It was great to stand with the ABC Vancouver team today to speak directly about how we are going to make the Park Board work for Vancouverites once again. We've been hearing the frustration about the way the Park Board and its facilities are managed. Vancouver deserves better. An ABC majority on Park Board will focus on delivering new community centres, safe parks, free swimming lessons, affordable recreation programs, and accessible public swimming pools. The COVID-era restrictions that still make no sense at Kits Pool are indicative of a much greater problem. Swimming should be accessible for everyone. Residents and families shouldn’t have to compete online or plan weeks in advance just to enjoy a public pool. The choice in this election is clear: an ABC majority that will deliver better facilities, more affordable programs, and long-overdue reforms, or candidates who support the status quo on Park Board and have contributed to years of ineffective management. #abcvancouver #publicsafety #affordability

🦈 Wild Ocean Encounter: Tiger Shark Following a Diver in the Deep Sea! 🌊 If you’re swimming in the open ocean and a tiger shark starts closing in on you… your first instinct is probably to swim away as fast as you can. But according to this diver, that might be the worst thing you can do. In this intense video, the shark is actively following and gaining on the diver. Here’s what the video explains: “If you’re swimming in the open ocean and you run into a tiger shark, your first instinct is probably going to be to swim away as fast as possible. This is a natural response that most people would have… but at the end of the day, no matter how fast you swim, the sharks will be faster.” “When you swim away from a shark, it actually triggers a predatory response in them, making them think that you’re prey running away and that you might be injured or vulnerable.” The better approach? •Stand your ground. •Make eye contact with the shark. •Remain calm. •If it keeps approaching, use your fins or any object to create space. •As a last resort: push down firmly on the top of the shark’s head. The diver demonstrates this in the video, the shark actually pushes harder into his hand and rolls up above him. Insane footage and super valuable advice if you ever find yourself in the open ocean!

"When you label a product 'Made in India', you are representing a country." 🇮🇳 At our Business Plenary Session in London, I had the pleasure of hearing from Mr. Aqeel Panaruna from Ambur, Tamil Nadu. As the founder of Florence Shoe Company, he shared an incredible story of how an international customer spotted a luxury Hugo Boss shoe at Cairo Airport, checked the label, and saw those proud words ‘Made in India’, which was manufactured by his company. For entrepreneurs like Aqeel, quality is not just a corporate metric, it is a national responsibility. His work has not only put Indian craftsmanship on global shelves for iconic brands but has also driven large-scale rural employment, championed women’s empowerment in manufacturing, and pioneered sustainable zero liquid discharge technologies. As we strengthen the India-UK trade corridors, entrepreneurs like him are proving to the world that BRAND INDIA stands at the very top tier. To Aqeel and countless Indian businesses setting global benchmarks, thank you for making the 'Made in India' label a symbol of trust, excellence, and pride.

#WATCH | Delhi: PM Narendra Modi says, "...India's youth have embarked on a new journey into space. I was told that the average age of the entire team working at the 'Skyroot' startup is merely 28 years. Young people like these have accomplished this feat. I am not speaking of a 56-year-old youth." "In just one month, the nation has achieved numerous milestones, a series of accomplishments that fill every citizen with pride. Be it on the national stage, the international arena, or now, even in space, these have truly been moments of pride for India. Just before the monsoon session last year, an Indian citizen reached the International Space Station. And just the other day, a young Indian startup achieved a monumental feat. Few countries in the world have witnessed such private enterprise; India's youth have embarked on a new journey into space. It is a tremendous success... India's global profile is gaining universal recognition and acceptance. This is no coincidence; it is a message, a powerful message that the potential and aspirations of our country's youth are as boundless as space itself." (Video source: DD)

Marc Andreessen on Elon Musk: “Why don't more CEOs operate the way that he does? The top-line thing is just this incredible devotion from the leader of the company to deeply understand what the company does, and to be completely knowledgeable about every aspect of it. To be in the trenches and talking directly to the people who do the work, deeply understanding the issues, and being the key, lead problem solver in the organization. What Elon does is he shows up every week at each of his companies, he identifies the biggest problem that the company's having that week, and he fixes it. He does that every week for 52 weeks in a row. And then each of his companies has solved the 52 biggest problems that year, in that year. He attracts many of the best people in the world to work with him."
