Punching in: India’s elite fighters step up, as MMA debuts at the Asian Games (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At the Asian Games, which began on September 19 in Japan, there’s a “new” sport that has been waiting in the wings for some time now to become a part of the Olympic movement: Mixed Martial Arts. MMA has come a long way. It started as an “underground” sport, with fights fought illegally on the rooftops of Hong Kong and in basement parking lots in Tokyo, in the 1920s. Then came the speakeasy fight clubs in Bangkok and Rio, before it burst into the mainstream in the 1990s. As a fighting method, its

We knew it was coming, but Lionel Messi’s retirement from international football still feels momentous. The 39-year-old Argentine great made his decision public on social media this week, posting an image that evoked a different era: three lined pages, torn from a notebook, carrying an emotional note written in his neat, childlike hand.

The fading importance of the Commonwealth Games, and of the idea of the “commonwealth” itself, can be seen clearly at this edition of the multisport event. It opened in Glasgow on July 23, but features only half the number of sporting disciplines (just 10, down from 19 in the last edition). That drop is because the 2026 Commonwealth Games were supposed to be hosted by Victoria, Australia. In 2023, Victoria withdrew, citing concerns over rising costs.
