Send us Fan Mail Episode 184 — The Champion Builder ft. Sanjeeva Singh He learned archery by watching. As a schoolboy volunteering at the 1982 Asian Games, Sanjeeva Singh had never held a bow — he spent his days fetching targets and water for the Korean, Japanese, and Chinese archers training on the field he was assigned to. He watched. He applied his Class 11 physics to what he saw. Within two years he was a national junior champion.That same instinct — watch closely, apply what you know, teach yourself if nobody will teach you — took him to the 1988 Olympics as an archer, and later built the Tata Archery Academy from nothing in a Jharkhand tribal belt nobody expected to produce a world champion. It's the same instinct now building India's first rural integrated archery academy, from the ground up, in a village in Deoria, Uttar Pradesh.In this conversation: the myth that you can't be a serious athlete and a serious student at the same time (he was both, at once); the "ruthless" standard he holds his trainees to and where the line sits before it tips into harm; his own framework for what it takes to build a champion mindset — four Ps, four Ds, and willpower; and why, at nearly 60, he chose to build his most ambitious project yet in a place with no sporting infrastructure at all.Have you purchased the copy of Inspire Someone Today, yet? - Give it a go geni.us/istbookAvailable on all podcast platforms, including, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Spotify

Alexandra Eala vs Qinwen Zheng — full preview, head-to-head breakdown and prediction for their blockbuster FIRST ROUND clash at the 2026 Mubadala Citi DC Open (Washington Open), July 27 – August 2, 2026, on the outdoor hard courts of the William H.G. FitzGerald Tennis Center in Washington, D.C.This is the draw everyone circled. Alex Eala arrives at a career-high World No. 28 after a breakout grass season — a WTA 125 title in Birmingham, a semifinal run in Berlin with two top-10 scalps, and a stunning Wimbledon fourth-round run that included beating defending champion Iga Swiatek. Qinwen Zheng, the Paris 2024 Olympic gold medalist and former World No. 4, enters on a wildcard, now ranked outside the top 100 as she rebuilds from July 2025 elbow surgery and a stop-start return to the tour.Zheng leads the head-to-head 1-0, winning their only previous meeting 6-1, 6-7(5), 6-3 in the 2023 Asian Games semifinal. Three years on, the roles have almost completely reversed. Who wins in Washington?

The CWG began yesterday, but there's barely any buzz around it. It's not because the FIFA World Cup has dominated the headlines, but because this scaled-back edition of the Games has significantly reduced India's medal prospects. And for many of the athletes competing, the CWG is little more than a warm-up for the Asian Games. Host Mihir Vasavda and Pritish Raj discuss all this and much more in this week's episode.Produced by Shashank BhargavaEdited and mixed by Suresh Pawar

Part wrestling, part tag, part martial arts, and all breath control. In this episode, Kavitha dives into the world of kabaddi, the high-octane South Asian sport that's quietly going global. You'll meet fearless raiders, strategic defenders, and women breaking barriers through the sport. With teams from India, Pakistan, Iran, Bangladesh and beyond gearing up for the Asian Games this fall — and Europe's biggest kabaddi league launching this summer — there's never been a better time to learn why this game is more than a sport.

India entered the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 carrying the weight of expectation. Fresh off their historic ODI World Cup triumph, Harmanpreet Kaur's side arrived in England with genuine title ambitions, exciting young talent, and the belief that this could finally be their year in the shortest format. Instead, their campaign ended in disappointment, raising as many questions as it answered.In Episode 351 of Never on the Backfoot, we take a deep dive into India's World Cup journey, from the squad selection and key omissions to the tactical decisions that shaped the tournament. We analyse the defining moments, the standout performers, the biggest disappointments, and whether India's much-talked-about "fearless" T20 philosophy translated into results when it mattered most.We also explore the bigger picture: Has the WPL truly transformed India's T20 approach? Are the selectors picking players for defined T20 roles or relying too heavily on experience? Is India's batting identity keeping pace with the evolving demands of the format? And what lessons must the team take forward after another campaign that fell short of expectations?Finally, with the Asian Games squad already announced, we discuss what lies ahead for Indian women's cricket. Should this be the beginning of a transition towards the next generation, or does continuity remain the right path?

The Indian men's hockey team has begun 2026 — a year of major stakes — on a worrying note. Four matches in the Rourkela leg of the FIH Pro League ended in four defeats, including a humiliating 8–0 loss to Argentina. With the Asian Games in Japan and the Hockey World Cup in the Netherlands and Belgium just months away, the results have raised uncomfortable questions. Are these early-season stumbles merely part of a longer preparation cycle, or do they point to serious issues in defence, goalkeeping, fitness and mentality? Should youngsters have been blooded in earlier? And how much pressure is mounting on coach Craig Fulton? In this episode of In Focus, we examine what went wrong in Rourkela, the search for stability in goal after P.R. Sreejesh, and why the core group of players who have been in the team for years need to be pulled up for the poor run of form. (Editor's note: This episode was recorded ahead of the Hobart leg of the FIH Pro League games) Host: Reuben Joe Joseph Guest: Uthra Ganesan, The Hindu's hockey correspondent Learn more about your ad choices.

Good afternoon, I'm Jacob Ingram with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opens higher on Wall Street rally The Tai-Ex opened up 35 points this morning from yesterday's close, at 32,440 on turnover (成交額) of $5.9 billion NT. Shares in Taiwan closed more than 600 points higher Monday, as a strong rally (大漲) in the United States late last week prompted investors to buy large-cap (大型股) electronics stocks. Contract chipmaker TSMC failed to hold onto all of its earlier gains, with analysts saying investors turned cautious ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday, amid concerns over possible negative developments overseas. Old-economy stocks (傳產股) were largely overshadowed by the technology sector, although some industries tied to AI development attracted interest. TaiDoc union protests interference; company blames 'outsider' involvement The union at TaiDoc Technology protested Monday outside the Ministry of Labor. It's accusing the medical device maker of undermining (破壞) its operations, including illegally dismissing its chair, Filipino worker Elizabeth Basas. Notices posted around the workplace allegedly humiliated her and warned other employees against joining the union. Union director Lennon Wang said the group, formed six months ago with about 30 Filipino members, has faced ongoing pressure from management and claimed the company forced employees to join the union, announcing over 100 new members unilaterally (單方面地). TaiDoc's chair has denied the accusations, calling Wang an "outsider" illegally interfering (非法干預) and questioning the legitimacy (合法性) of a recent strike vote. The Ministry of Labor said it has received a request to investigate the allegations and urged employers to respect union independence (工會自主權) and avoid improper interference (不當干預). Taiwan's Zhang Bo-ya wins gold at Asian Indoor Athletics Championships Taiwan's top hurdler Zhang Bo-ya (張博雅) secured gold in the women's 60-meter hurdles at the 2026 Asian Indoor Athletics Championships in Tianjin, setting a new national record of 8.12 seconds. The 22-year-old star broke her own national record twice in a single day. After an initial record-breaking run in the heats, Zhang surged past her Japanese competitors in the final to take Taiwan's first gold of the meet. Her victory capped off a successful weekend for the national team, which earned one gold and three silver medals. Notable performances included Chen Wen-pu (陳玟溥), who smashed a 38-year-old national record in the men's 60-meter sprint, alongside silvers from long jumper Lin Yu-tang (林昱堂) and sprinter Liao Yan-jun (廖晏均). Coach Wang Kuo-hui (王國慧) said the result confirms Zhang's peak condition as she prepares for the upcoming outdoor season and Asian Games qualifiers (亞運資格賽). Maxwell remains silent to Epstein questions, pleads for clemency In international news, Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted sex trafficker for Jeffrey Epstein, has refused to answer US lawmakers' questions at a closed-door hearing, asserting her Fifth Amendment right (保持緘默權). She used the session to ask for clemency (寬赦), saying she would "speak fully" if pardoned (特赦) by US president Donald Trump. Nick Harper reports from Washington. Cuba Aviation Officials Warn of Fuel Shortage Cuban aviation officials have warned airlines of a fuel shortage (燃料短缺) for refueling on the island. This is part of energy rationing (能源配給) as the Trump administration cuts Cuba off from its fuel sources. The shortage stems from U.S. political pressure severing Cuba's access to oil from Venezuela and Mexico. Shorter flights may not be affected, but long-haul routes face challenges. The energy crisis has led to reduced bank hours, suspended cultural events and halted public transport. U.S. sanctions (制裁) have long impacted Cuba, but recent measures have intensified the situation. That was the I.C.R.T.

From Astro Boy to Gundam to real-world robots like ASIMO and Pepper, Japan's fascination with robots runs deep. This week, the Krewe is joined by author, cultural commentator, & robot enthusiast Matt Alt to explore how robots became heroes instead of threats in Japanese pop culture and how those sci-fi dreams quietly shaped Japan's modern relationship with technology, AI, and everyday automation. From giant mecha and cyborg icons to robot cafés and beyond, we dig into why Japan seems so comfortable living alongside machines in an episode that's equal parts nostalgia, culture, and future tech.------ About the Krewe ------The Krewe of Japan Podcast is a weekly episodic podcast sponsored by the Japan Society of New Orleans.
