High jumper Tejaswin Shankar’s writ petition in the Delhi High Court has led to four more athletes being named by the national federation, though their participation depends on the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) agreeing to increase the allotted quota.

An island the size of two tennis courts has "changed the course" of the River Thames - and it's made from wet wipes. Campaigners regularly comb through the muck on the riverbank near Hammersmith Bridge, where they find up to 150 wet wipes per square metre. The UK uses 11 billion of the "disposable" products every year, according to Labour MP Fleur Anderson, causing untold problems for the environment and wreaking havoc on plumbing to the tune of £100m in blockages. The government is considering a ban on wet wipes, but Ms Anderson wants the issue resolved faster, and has tabled legislation to bring it about . It comes after Boots pledged to stop selling all wet wipes containing plastic by the end of the year. Advertisement Speaking during a session of questions on the environment, food and rural affairs in the Commons, Ms Anderson told MPs: "Billions of wet wipes containing plastic are still being used across the country, causing environmental … [Read more...] about Island of wet wipes has ‘changed the course of the Thames’ as government considers ban

Ace Indian swimmer Srihari Nataraj set ‘Best Indian time’ at the FINA short course World Championship but that was not enough to take him to the semifinals of the 50m backstroke event here on Saturday. The 20-year-old clocked 24.40s in the men’s 50m backstroke event to finish 26th in the overall heats.
