<p>A paper plane is something that almost everyone has tried to make as a kid. It is quite common for kids to make paper planes and even compete among themselves to see whose plane can go the furthest. However, even in their wildest imagination, they would not have imagined that it can travel a distance of almost 80 metres. The number may sound unbelievable, but it is now a reality as South Korea’s Kim Kyu Tae created a world record for the farthest flight of a paper aircraft.</p>

<p>Kyu Tae was supported by compatriot Shin Moo Joon and Malaysia’s Chee Yie Jian/Julian as the paper aircraft created by them covered an impressive distance of 252 feet and seven inches (77.134 m). The record was officially recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records this week.</p>

<p>According to the Guinness Book of World Records, they broke the record once held by Joe Ayoob and paper airplane designer John M. Collins of the United States since 2012.</p>

<p>They even posted a video of the feat along with the caption - “Farthest flight of a paper aircraft: 77.134 m (252 ft 7 in) by Kim Kyu Tae🇰🇷. With the support of Shin Moo Joon (South Korea) and Chee Yie Jian/Julian (Malaysia) AKA “Shin Kim Chee Team,” says the caption of the video.</p>

<p>The trio had their own set of expertise with Shin folding the aircraft, Chee coming up with the design and Kim throwing it in the official attempt.</p>

Almost 80 metres! Paper plane takes record-breaking flight in South Korea - WATCH

<p>Vadim Shishimarin, a 21-year-old sergeant in the Russian army, was sentenced to life in prison by a Ukrainian court for committing war crimes during the early days of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. This was the first time that a trial took place in relation to war crimes in the ongoing crisis and the judge decided to hand Shishimarin a life sentence after he was found guilty of killing 62-year-old Oleksandr Shelipov in Sumy region of Ukraine. The trial has developed into a crucial opportunity for Ukraine to prove that the Russian military has been attacking civilians without any regard for the rules of war.</p>

<p>Serhii Ahafonov, the judge presiding over the case, announced his verdict and said that although Shishimarin has expressed remorse, there was no leniency in the statement handed out to him.</p>

<p>After the verdict, Ukraine’s prosecutor general, Iryna Venediktova, has said that she has more than 40 similar cases and they will all be going to trail in the near future. She added that this is just the beginning as authorities have registered more than 10,000 instances of war crimes across Ukraine.</p>

<p>The main defense from Shishimarin’s lawyer was that the 21-year-old was forced to shoot the civilian with a rifle while travelling in a car with his fellow soldiers. However, he pleaded guilty to the crime and the court said in its statement that they did not have concrete evidence of coercion.</p>

<p>Royal Challengers Bangalore sneeked into the play-offs after Mumbai Indians broke Delhi Capitals' heart with a five-wicket win in their last IPL match here on Saturday.</p>

<p>Already out of contention, MI played partypoopers as they first restricted DC to 159 for 7 with Jasprit Bumrah snapping three wickets and then returned to overhaul the target in 19.1 overs to knock the 2020 finalists out of the tournament.</p>

<p>While Ishan Kishan (48) and Dewald Brevis (37) kept MI in the hunt, it was Tim David's 11-ball 34-run cameo that brought the five-time champions back into the chase. Tilak&nbsp;Varma also chipped in with a crucial 17-ball 21.</p>

<p>With MI at 95 for 3 in 14.3 overs, DC skipper Rishabh Pant made a strategic blunder as he refused to go for DRS after David nicked the first ball of his innings but the onfield umpire didn't give him out.</p>

<p>It came back to haunt DC as David slammed fours and sixes at will to bring down the equation to 15 off 14 balls. Ramandeep then provided the finishing touch with a six-ball 13.</p>

<p>DC finished with 14 points to remain in the fifth spot, while RCB joined Gujarat Titans, Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants into the play-offs with 16 points.</p>

<p>Defending the total, left-arm seamer Khaleel Ahmed looked in good rhythm as he bowled a sensational first two overs, conceding just 2. He bowled full outside off-stump to trouble the openers, mainly Rohit Sharma (2).</p>

Royal Challengers Bangalore sneeked into the play-offs after Mumbai Indians broke Delhi Capitals' heart with a five-wicket win in their last IPL match here on Saturday.

Royal Challengers Bangalore sneeked into the play-offs after Mumbai Indians broke Delhi Capitals' heart with a five-wicket win in their last IPL match here on Saturday. Already out of contention, MI played partypoopers as they first restricted DC to 159 for 7 with Jasprit Bumrah snapping three wickets and then returned to overhaul the target in 19.1 overs to knock the 2020 finalists out of the tournament. While Ishan Kishan (48) and Dewald Brevis (37) kept MI in the hunt, it was Tim David's 11-ball 34-run cameo that brought the five-time champions back into the chase. Tilak Varma also chipped in with a crucial 17-ball 21. With MI at 95 for 3 in 14.3 overs, DC skipper Rishabh Pant made a strategic blunder as he refused to go for DRS after David nicked the first ball of his innings but the onfield umpire didn't give him out. Also read | IPL 2022 playoffs: Qualifiers, Eliminator - Schedule, dates, and venues It came back to haunt DC as David slammed fours and sixes at will to bring down the equation to 15 off 14 balls. Ramandeep then provided the finishing touch with a six-ball 13. DC finished with 14 points to remain in the fifth spot, while RCB joined Gujarat Titans, Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants into the play-offs with 16 points. Defending the total, left-arm seamer Khaleel Ahmed looked in good rhythm as he bowled a sensational first two overs, conceding just 2. He bowled full outside off-stump to trouble the openers, mainly Rohit Sharma (2). Anrich Nortje finally put an end to Rohit's struggle with the MI skipper chipping one to mid-on. Ishan and Brevis then added 51 runs off 37 balls but Kuldeep Yadav (1/33) broke the partnership with David Warner taking a fine catch to get rid of the former.

In pics - Manchester City celebrate in style after winning sixth Premier League title

<p>Manchester City claimed their fourth Premier League title in five years after defeating Aston Villa in the final day of the season. The encounter was an absolute nail-bitter as Pep Guardiola’s team came back from 0-2 down to register a brilliant victory at the Etihad Stadium. This was the second consecutive league trophy for City as they finished on 93 points with 99 goals scored in the season.</p>

<p>Liverpool won their game against Wolves 3-1 but it had no impact on the championship scene as they ended on 92 points from 38 matches. Mohamed Salah and Andrew Robertson scored for the Merseyside giants after Sadio Mane cancelled out the opener from Wolves midfielder Pedro Neto.</p>

<p>However, City slammed three goals in just five minutes to complete a superb comeback in front of their home crowd. Ilkay Gundogan started the onslaught with a well-placed goal followed by a deft touch from Rodri to level the scores and it was Gundogan once again who scored the winner.</p>

Manchester City claim Premier League title with thrilling victory on final day

<p>Former champion Garbine Muguruza suffered a second consecutive first-round exit at the French Open, biting the red dirt in a 2-6 6-3 6-4 loss to Estonian Kaia Kanepi on Sunday as she conatinued on her downward trend.</p>

<p>Muguruza, who lifted the Suzanne Lenglen Cup in 2016 and reached the semi-finals at Roland Garros two years later, was in cruise control in a one-sided first set before Kanepi ground her way back into the match.</p>

<p>The decider was close but the 36-year-old Kanepi, who has reached the last eight in all the Grand Slam tournaments, took her chances and prevailed when Muguruza made an unforced error.</p>

<p>Muguruza finished last year on a high, winning the WTA finals, but the world number has had a dreadful 2022, managing consecutive wins only once.</p>

<p>The 28-year-old Spaniard was at a loss to explain her decline.</p>

<p>"It is very hard, in the end. You have nothing guaranteed. The fact that you finished the year, the previous year well doesn`t guarantee that you`re going to start the year playing at the same level," Muguruza told a news conference.</p>

<p>"You`ve got to work and you`ve got to fight for it. We all know that every year is different and so far just working through it.</p>

<p>"It`s been a tough season though. I mean, I`ve had matches so much in control, but then I don`t manage to close and it gets complicated and then a match is a match and at the end there`s only a winner. But I feel that I`m training hard, I`m putting the work.</p>

<p>Muguruza is, however, confident she can turn things around.<br />
"I`m playing tournaments, trying to switch those moments, try to get more confident," she said.<br />
"So we`re going to keep doing it. I mean at some point I`m a hundred percent sure that I`m going to go out there and get those wins that have been slipping away from me."</p>

'Get him to Australia': Matthew Hayden urges India to include SRH batsman in T20 World Cup squad

<p>It was not a good outing for Rishabh Pant on Saturday as a couple of errors from the Delhi Capitals skipper led to his team’s defeat against Mumbai Indians in a crucial Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 encounter. DC needed a win against the lowest ranked side in the tournament to book their playoff berth, but they were beaten by five wickets thanks to brilliant performances from Tim David and Jasprit Bumrah.</p>

<p>After posting a modest total on a tricky pitch, Pant dropped a sitter to dismiss the dangerous Dewald Brevis and then, he did not opt for a review after the DC players were convinced that Tim David was caught behind. The replay showed a clear edge and it proved to be the costliest mistake in the match.</p>

<p>In the post-match press conference, Rohit Sharma was asked about Pant’s captaincy and the Indian cricket team skipper said that ‘little fumbles can happen’ and called him a ‘quality captain’.</p>

<p>"He is a quality captain, there's no doubt about it. In the past seasons we have seen how he has led his team. Sometimes things don't go your way, it is as simple as that. I have been through these kind of situations before and I was just telling him about the same thing. These kinds of things happen on the ground, sometimes it just doesn't go your way.

He's got a great mind; he reads the game well from behind. It's a high-pressure tournament and those little fumbles can happen. But it is important not to lose confidence and not to start doubting yourself. That is something I spoke to him about. He's a confident guy, he'll come back strong next season," he added.

'Fumbles can happen': Rohit Sharma has his say on Rishabh Pant's captaincy errors against MI

<p>Twice French Open finalist Dominic Thiem crashed out of the tournament in the first round on Sunday, losing in straight sets to Bolivian world number 87 Hugo Dellien.</p>

<p>Austrian Thiem, who has failed to win a match at any of the tournaments he has played since his wrist injury comeback in March, made 42 unforced errors as his once dominant claycourt game deserted him.</p>

<p>"It was not a good match at all but it is what it is," Thiem, ranked third in the world in 2021 compared to his current 194th, told reporters.</p>

<p>"I knew it would take time and the level is extremely high. It is going to take a few more months until I say now I am ready to beat those guys again."</p>

<p>The 28-year-old struggled with his forehand throughout the match and said it was now time to compete in lower-tier tournaments to get match wins under his belt.</p>

<p>"The problem is in practice it is really decent but a match situation is something different, Grand Slam especially. I am definitely thinking to go back to Challenger level for one or two tournaments," he said.</p>

<p>"I am more tight, more nervous and the whole body gets more tight. This is toxic to my forehand because I am still missing the fine feeling there," he said.</p>

<p>Dellien, comfortable on the surface after battling through the qualifiers to reach the main draw in all five claycourt tournaments preceding Paris, did not have to wait long for his chance.</p>

<p>He earned his first break point in Thiem`s opening service game and broke him on his second to race through the first set.</p>

<p>Two quick breaks in the second wrapped it up for Dellien, with Thiem, who injured his wrist in Mallorca in 2021 and required surgery, struggling throughout.</p>

<p>He capitulated 6-3 6-2 6-4 in just over two hours.</p>

<p>Cheteshwar Pujara made a well-deserved comeback to the Indian cricket team squad for the rescheduled 5th Test against England, which will be played in Birmingham in the first week of July.</p>

<p>Pujara earned his place back in the squad after a host of strong performances for Sussex in County Championship Division 2 including two double centuries.</p>

<p>Even the wicketkeeping department saw some development as KS Bharat has been named as backup to first-team Rishabh Pant. The rest of the squad, though, is more on similar lines with Rohit Sharma leading the team. KL Rahul was appointed his deputy as the top order remains similar.</p>
