Women’s Hockey India League: Dutch star Yibbi Jansen justifies top billing as Odisha Warriors blank Delhi SG Pipers

If it was up to her, Janneke Schopman said after the Hockey India League (HIL) auction in October last year, she’d have assembled a squad with all the top Indian players she had worked with during her time as the national head coach. Indeed, from the start of the auction, she put her paddle up for a lot of the first-team Indian players, but crucially, didn’t go overboard for any of them. Because she was waiting for the one name she really wanted: the Netherlands’ Yibbi Jansen. When her name came up, Schopman went all out to ward off the interest from the other teams. The FIH Player of the Year in 2024, Jansen is a superstar of the all-conquering Dutch women’s team. She was the leading goalscorer at Paris 2024 as the Netherlands clinched gold. And it was Jansen who starred on the opening ni...

Australian Open, Day 1: Aryna Sabalenka begins title defence with dominant win, Kei Nishikori shows sparks of remaining life in thriller

In her first Major as World No.1 and with a target on her back being the heavy tournament favourite, a first round against a seasoned opponent could have been a potential banana skin for Aryna Sabalenka on the opening day of the 2025 Australian Open.Instead, Sabalenka powered through the defences of 2017 US Open champion Sloane Stephens 6-3, 6-2 in the kind of dominant fashion expected of a two-time defending champion arriving in Melbourne in the form of her life. The Belarusian picked up a routine straight-sets victory under the roof of the Rod Laver Arena, her 28th in her last 29 matches at the Australian Open. It was the kind of win that signalled a warning to the rest of the locker room, reaffirming the top seed’s status as the one to beat in the women’s section this Aussie summer. Sab...

Representational. (AP Photo) Ohio State University Spent $13M a Year on DEI: At the Ohio State University (OSU), a sprawling public institution in a deeply conservative state, the cost of promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) has raised eyebrows. A recent audit revealed the university spends an eye-watering $13 million annually on DEI initiatives, a figure that could fund the tuition of 1,000 in-state students at its main campus, the DailyMail reported. While such spending has become a flashpoint in the national debate over DEI, the details behind this budget paint a complex picture of how these funds are allocated, and how they are actually put to use.The spotlight on OSU's DEI expenditures has reignited a culture war between progressive advocates who champion these initiatives...
