Let’s start off with football. Brazilian football club Chapecoense set a club record almost one year after the tragic plane accident which claimed the lives of all their players excepting two. Chapecoense retained their place in Brazil’s top division with three games to spare and the players celebrated what has been a very challenging season. A story of amazing grit for the club!
In the world of cricket, Ravichandran Ashwin broke Dennis Lillee’s record to become the quickest to reach 300 test wickets in just 54 matches. Hope the records continue to tumble.
Saikhom Mirabai Chanu won the gold medal at the Weightlifting World Championship in Anaheim, USA. She won the gold in the 48 kg weight category, her total lift was 194 kg. That’s four times her body weight – quite an achievement indeed!
Meanwhile, in badminton, PV Sindhu lost in the finals of the Hong Kong Open, but qualified for the Super Series Finals to be held in Dubai – the year-end finale of the top eight shuttlers in the world. Kidambi Srikanth qualifies as well. Hope they do well!
