Sprinter Dutee Chand on Tuesday announced that she has been selected in the 25-member team for upcoming Doha World Championships, slated to begin from September 27 this year. "I am selected in the 25-member national team for #DohaWorldChampionships, starting September 27. Wish me luck and SPEED," Chand tweeted. Chand had won the gold medal in just 11.32 seconds in the tournament.

Six-time world-champion MC Mary Kom claimed the gold-medal without breaking a sweat in the 23rd President's Cup, asserting her supremacy in a lopsided 51-kg bout final in Labuan Bajo, Indonesia on Sunday. The 36-year-old Indian had also won a gold-medal at the India-Open-boxing tournament in May, but skipped the Asian Championships as part of a larger plan to enhance her chances of Olympic qualification.

Pardeep Singh created a new Commonwealth record in the clean and jerk-category on the way to a gold medal as Indian weightlifters continued their impressive run on the last-day of the Commonwealth Championships. Pardeep, who is competing in the 109kg category, smashed the record in the clean and jerk event by lifting 202kgs. His earlier successful attempt of 148kg took his total to 350kgs.
