<h2><strong>India’s Aman Sehrawat bags bronze</strong></h2>

<p>Having faced disappointment in the women’s 50kg category in wrestling when Vinesh Phogat was disqualified, it was Aman who made the nation proud with a bronze medal. The Indian wrestler joins an elite company of KD Jadhav, Sushil Kumar, Ravi Dahiya and Yogeshwar Dutt among male Olympic medalists for the nation. Interestingly, despite losing the semis on technical superiority, Aman was successful in bagging the bronze medal for the nation. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Aman’s success means India now has six medals at the Paris Olympics which includes five bronze medals. The 21-year-old’s success also means India has won a medal in wrestling in the last five Olympics. In 2008 Sushilkumar won a bronze medal and upgraded it to silver at&nbsp;the 2012 London Games along Yogeshwar Dutt. In the 2016 Rio Olympics, Sakshi Malik clinched a bronze while Ravi Dahiya won a silver medal in the Tokyo Olympics (2020).</p>

<p>American Noah Lyles clinched&nbsp;the gold medal in the men's 100m at the 2024 Paris Olympics, inspiring millions worldwide by winning the race in a dramatic finish. He won it in 9.79 seconds.

<p>Mentioning a study, the report noted that "about 8.3% of US Olympians between 2002 and 2010 had asthma, yet they were able to compete at the highest levels".&nbsp;</p>

<p>Asthma affects around 15 to 30 per cent&nbsp;of Olympic athletes and upwards of half the athletes in some sports, according to a 2023 study published in the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine &amp; Science in Sports.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>What is asthma?</strong></h2>

<p>Asthma is a generally chronic lung disease that results from genetic and environmental factors.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Asthma causes inflammation, narrowing and swelling of the airways in patients. It results in coughing, wheezing and chest discomfort.&nbsp;</p>

<p>When these symptoms worsen, it is referred to as an asthma attack or a flare-up. The situation makes it difficult to breathe.&nbsp;</p>

"I always tell my patients that with proper treatment, they can be just as efficient and energetic as anyone else."&nbsp;</p>

<p>While talking about athletes, Dr Nayar said that many top athletes manage their asthma by adhering to a prescribed treatment regimen. They are able to perform at the highest level. "So I emphasise, don't let asthma hinder your athletic potential; with proper medication, you can achieve your aspirations without any limitations," he added.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>How can asthmatic athletes stay at their peak?</strong>&nbsp;</h2>

<p>The condition can be challenging, but Dr Mendiratta suggested that it is important to know that asthma is not a disease. If diagnosed at the right time, patients can carry out their day-to-day activities and exercises without any difficulty. The key is to be very regular with your prescribed medications.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"As everyone knows, inhalers or nebulised medicines are the drugs of choice for asthma patients. If taken regularly, they can maintain lung volumes and are significantly effective in preventing further lung damage.

3) Pre-treat with inhalers prior to exercise as advised by your pulmonologist.&nbsp;<br />
4) Warm up for 15 to 20 minutes before exercise to reduce the chances of tight airways during exercise.<br />
5) Cover your nose and mouth with a scarf when exercising outdoors in cold temperatures.&nbsp;Limit exercise or strenuous activities outdoors when the air quality is unhealthy (orange) and avoid outdoor activities when the air quality is red, purple or maroon.&nbsp;<br />
6) Remember to include a cool-down period.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>'Incredible achievements are possible'</strong>&nbsp;</h2>

<p>"Asthma is no longer a crippling disease, and you can live your life normally. Regular checkups, pulmonary function tests, consistent investigations, and vaccination treatment at the onset of any symptoms are very important," Dr Mendiratta said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Noah Lyles's story proves that with proper asthma management, incredible achievements are possible.

<p>Boxing has come under intense scrutiny at the Paris Olympics after&nbsp;a furore over the gender of two women fighters after it emerged they had been disqualified from the world championships last year but deemed eligible to compete in Paris.</p>

<p>One of the two, Algerian fighter Imane Khelif, is going for gold in her final later Friday against China's Li Qian. The other, Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting, fights in her final on Saturday.</p>

<p>The issue has been further complicated because the IOC is running the boxing competition in Paris due to deep concerns it has about the governance of the Russian-led International Boxing Association.</p>

<p>Bach has already warned in Paris that boxing's national federations need to find a new and "reliable" international partner for the IOC to be sure the sport features on the programme for 2028.</p>

<p>On Friday, Bach said the IOC would take the decision on its inclusion in the first half of 2025.</p>

<p>"I think the answer is at some point in the next year, as soon as possible but I don't think we can expect a final decision before next year," Bach said.&nbsp;</p>

Boxing to learn LA Olympics fate in first half of 2025: IOC chief Thomas Bach

<p>India’s Vinesh Phogat will have to wait for another day as the verdict for her Paris Olympics disqualification was postponed to Tuesday (Aug 13). Vinesh, on Thursday, filed a petition in the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) for her disqualification from the women’s 50kg freestyle category gold medal match after she was found overweight during the official weigh-in. The CAS which was set to deliver the verdict on Saturday is now likely to be delivered on Tuesday.</p>

<h2><strong>Vinesh disqualification verdict postponed</strong></h2>

<p>"The ad hoc division of CAS has extended time till 6-00 p.m. on August 13, 2024, for the Sole Abritator Hon.

The reasoned order will be issued at a later date,"&nbsp;a statement from the CAS read.</p>

<p>Earlier it was reported that the verdict would be delivered on Sunday (Aug 11), however, WION Sports Editor Digvijay Singh Deo confirmed that the verdict will now be delivered on Tuesday.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Vinesh was disqualified after being found 100 grams overweight at the official weigh-in on the morning of the final on Wednesday (Aug 7).</p>

It is reported that Neeraj has been struggling with groin issues for the last two years due to which he missed the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. He has been far from his best despite winning the silver medal at the Olympics. The 26-year-old despite his best efforts is yet to touch the 90-metre mark in his career with close competitor Nadeem throwing 92.97 metres to set a new benchmark.

"Doctors told me to go for surgery last year. I have been stretching myself till now.., There have been treatments since. But we will have to take a big decision," he added.

Paris Olympics: Kareena Kapoor, Sunny Deol wish India's Men's hockey team on win

<p>In the men's javelin final at Paris Olympics 2024, on Thursday (Aug 8), India's Neeraj Chopra settled for silver courtesy of the&nbsp;89.45m throw, whereas Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem won gold with a record-breaking throw&nbsp;of 92.97m. Thus, Arshad ended Neeraj's reign as the world champion and also became&nbsp;the first individual athlete from Pakistan to win gold&nbsp;at the Olympics.</p>

<p>The journey for Arshad has not been easy. Just five months before the showpiece event, the Pakistani javelin thrower was struggling to get a new javelin.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Arshad told the media in March 2024, "It has now got to a stage where the javelin is damaged and I have asked the national federation and my coach to do something about it before the Paris Olympics."&nbsp;He further opined, "When I started off in 2015, competing in international events, I got this javelin... for an international athlete aiming to win a medal in the Olympic Games, you need proper equipment and training facilities."</p>

<p>Further, Arshad revealed that he had been using the same javelin for nearly seven to eight years. This is when the news spread like wildfire and India's golden boy Neeraj took charge of things.</p>

<h2><strong>HOW NEERAJ CAME TO ARSHAD'S&nbsp;AID</strong></h2>

<p>When Neeraj got to know about his friend Arshad's predicament, he made a plea to the sporting fraternity and the javelin makers during an interview with SAI Media. He said,&nbsp;"It is hard to believe that he has been struggling to get a new javelin. Given his credentials, this should not be a big issue at all."&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Indian star added,&nbsp;"Arshad is a top javelin thrower, and I believe that the javelin makers will be more than happy to sponsor him and provide what he needs. This is a piece of advice from my side."</p>

<p>Five months post this, Arshad created history in Paris Olympics by winning a historic gold. While Neeraj&nbsp;couldn't defend his Olympic title, he won silver and&nbsp;became the second Indian male athlete to win multiple Olympic medals in post-independence after Sushil Kumar.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While Neeraj couldn't defend his title, he did play a crucial role in helping&nbsp;his friend and rival Arshad get a javelin. This surely is a perfect example of how a rivalry should be, especially an Indo-Pak one!</p>

Paris Olympics: One who got gold is...: Neeraj's mother wins hearts, makes viral comment on Arshad

<p>History was created for Pakistan on multiple levels after Arshad Nadeem won the nation’s first individual gold medal on Thursday (Aug 8). The medal which also ended Pakistan’s 32-year wait for an Olympic medal was celebrated widely by the nation. While Nadeem’s medal win was expected, the colour of the medal came as a huge surprise for many. So who is Arshad Nadeem and how did he take the big stride and end the nation’s four-decade wait for an Olympic gold medal?</p>

<h2><strong>Who is Arshad Nadeem?</strong></h2>

<p>Born in Mian Channu in the Punjab province, Arshad was a born-athlete and excelled in multiple sports during his early school days. However, it was not until he met his coach Rasheed Ahmad Saqi who discovered his talent in javelin throw. He would often represent his school and college in multiple sports including cricket, but javelin throw became his primary sport after he started taking it seriously during his college days.</p>

<p>Now 27, Arshad in 2015 started taking the event seriously and attracted attention after his famous throws at the Punjab Youth Festivals. He received a scholarship in 2016 from World Athletics and would never turn back.</p>

<p>He won his first significant medal at the 2016 Asian Junior Athletics Championships in Ho Chi Minh City of Vietnam. Success would then follow at the 2018 Asian Games where he clinched a bronze medal for the nation. He also bagged a gold medal in the 2019 South Asian Games. His biggest achievement before the Olympics came at the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games where he won gold in arch-rival Neeraj Chopra’s absence.</p>

<p>Arshad had missed out on a medal in the Tokyo Olympics having finished fifth but was determined to go one better at the Paris Olympics. In the build-up to the Paris Games, Arshad won a silver medal at the 2023 Budapest World Championships.
