A good coach never screams from sidelines: Clarence Lobo
Hockey coach Clarence Lobo is not one to shout himself hoarse from the sidelines — be it on the hockey turf during his 25-year coaching stint, or off it. Lobo, 58, is the only Mumbaikar in the list of four Dronacharya awardees in the Lifetime category to be felicitated by president Ram Nath Kovind at the Rastrapati Bhawan on September 25. The other three are Tarak Sinha (cricket), Jiwan Kumar Sharma (judo) and V R Beedu (athletics).
It began in 1993Lobo's coaching journey began in 1993 with his employers Tata Sports Club, following which he coached the Mumbai, Maharashtra, sub-junior India, junior India and senior India teams.
Foreign flavour"The senior stint under chief coaches Jose Brasa and Michael Nobbs were most special. Besides hockey, they taught me life lessons.

"He [Boomer] always wants to be in the pool… his kick is absolutely insane. He's got the shoulder flexibility like dad does, so we'll see," said Phelps.
Phelps added he is waiting for the day when his son asks him: 'Dad, when are you going to swim again and compete again?' "So, I'm waiting and I'm preparing myself for that question," he said.

Umpire Lahyani suspended for helping Nick Kyrgios in US Open
The US Open umpire criticised for giving Australia's Nick Kyrgios a pep talk has been hit with a two-week suspension, reports said. Swedish official Mohamed Lahyani triggered controversy last month after coming down from his chair to give advice to Kyrgios during his second round game against Pierre-Hugues Herbert.
The US Open later said Lahyani "went beyond protocol" with his conduct. "I want to help you," Lahyani could be heard telling Kyrgios, who was a set and 3-0 down at the time. "This isn't you. I know that. I have seen your matches. You are great for tennis." Kyrgios subsequently captured 19 of the next 25 games, claiming a 4-6, 7-6 (8/6), 6-3, 6-0 win.
"The US Open determined that chair umpire Mohamed Lahyani's conduct during Thursday's second-round match involving Nick Kyrgios and Pierre-Hugues Herbert went beyond protocol," a US Open statement said. Reports citing the ATP on Tuesday said Lahyani, 52, had been suspended for two weeks over the incident.

Sajan Bhanwal becomes first Indian to win back-to-back medals
Sajan Bhanwal became the first Indian to win back-to-back medals at the Junior World Wrestling Championship after he secured a silver in the 77kg Greco Roman category in Trnava, Slovakia. Islam Opiev of Russia proved to be too good for the 20-year-old from a village near Sonipat, winning the bout through technical superiority. The scoreline was 8-0.
In the opening 90 seconds, Sajan was hit with passivity and was thrown from the par terre position, official website of United World Wrestling reported. With Sajan down, Opiev went to work, scoring six additional points from a pair of back-arches, followed by a feet over back exposure to take the 7-0 lead.
The action was blown dead, and both wrestlers were brought up to their feet. In the standing position, Opeiv charged Sajan near the edge of the mat and picked up the match-ending eighth point, and the 77kg gold medal, the report added.

Maradona wins on Mexico debut
Diego Maradona won big in his Mexican coaching debut Monday, as the Argentine legend's new club, Dorados, routed fellow second-division side Cafetaleros 4-1. Maradona has raised eyebrows with his decision to coach the struggling team from Culiacan, Sinaloa, in the heart of Mexican drug cartel country.
But he was all smiles as Ecuadoran forward Vinicio Angulo -- wearing Maradona's old number 10 -- scored a hat trick to give the new coach the win. "We played a great match," he told a packed press conference afterward. "Some people said Maradona's useless. There were a lot of stupid people going on television to fill up the time. I hope they'll come to the pitch now and look at my record and see what we're actually doing, see that I know how to do this," he added.
Still, it was hardly a monumental win: Dorados were 13th in their league heading into the match, and Cafetaleros 15th. With their newly earned three points, Maradona's team doubled their previous total and leapt to 10th place...
Didn't expect Arjuna nomination, says Hima Das
India's newest sprint sensation Hima Das Tuesday said she didn't expect to be nominated for the Arjuna award this year, despite her stunning season in international athletics. The 18-year-old from Assam was among the 20 sportspersons recommended for the Arjuna Award, which is subject to approval by Sports Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore.
"I didn't expect to win the Arjuna this year. I was thinking may be next year, I will be considered," said Hima, who clinched the gold medal at the U-20 World Championship in Finland, on the sidelines of a promotional event organised by Adidas. Nicknamed the "Dhing Express", Hima has been a sensation this year as she added three medals -- a gold and two silvers from the 18th Asian Games -- to her World Championship gold.
The star sprinter won gold in Women's 4×400m and silver medals in mixed 4x400m and 400m individual event. Asked when she will start training, Hima said: "The season is over now. Next year, there is South Asian Games, Asian ..

Asia Cup 2018: India to take on minnows Hong Kong with eye on Pakistan
Favourites India will look to sweep aside minnows Hong Kong in their Asia Cup opener on Tuesday and prepare for the much-anticipated clash against arch-rivals Pakistan the next day. Hong Kong, expectedly, lost to Pakistan by eight wickets in their first game. India, who even without talismanic skipper Virat Kohli, should give them the same treatment.
Under Rohit Sharma's captaincy and with experienced M.S. Dhoni in their ranks, India will look to get their combination right in the first game before the tougher test of Pakistan on which all eyes will rest. Besides Rohit, the likes of Shikhar Dhawan, K.L. Rahul and Kedar Jadhav add teeth to their batting while in the bowling department, Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal throw up a lot of variety.
The Asia Cup will once again bring to the fore Dhoni's batting frailties with age as his strike rate has been below par in recent limited overs matches. The celebrated former India captain, known for his big..
Mumbai's slum caddies head to Paris for World Cup
A golf player of one country helping out a counterpart financially from another country to participate in an important tournament in a third country. You can't be blamed if you haven't heard such a story before because it's more than just rare. Thanks to Germany's Urban Golf team skipper Norman Dick, 39, Mumbai's slum golf stalwarts — Sunil Mane, Sachin Salve, Suresh Mehboobani, Sunil Shinde and Nagaraj Bing — will be on a flight to Paris on Wednesday to represent India in the World Urban Golf Cup (street golf) organised by Urban Golf Collective Association.
Mane, 32, a caddie at the Bombay Presidency Golf Club (BPGC) in Chembur, will parade his street golf skills at the world level for the first time, but he is used to this particular brand of golf since he has been playing it with his friends on the roads and lanes of Chembur for the last 20 years. Mane and his fellow travellers are slum golfers, who work as caddies. Mehboobani, 32, who recently played a golf tournament ..

Davis Cup: Balaji beaten, India lose 0-4
Turning out to play the dead fourth rubber, N Sriram Balaji lost to Pedja Krstin in straight sets as India ended the Davis World Group Play-off tie against Serbia without a single win, losing 0-4, here on Sunday. Since the tie was already decided in favour of the hosts, who had taken an unassailable 3-0 lead, India fielded Balaji in place of Ramkumar Ramanathan.
Serbia also changed the nomination, playing Krstin in place of Dusan Lajovic. Balaji, who is more focussed on the doubles, lost 3-6 1-6 in 66 minutes on indoor clay courts at the Kraljevo Sports Venue. The two sides agreed not to play the fifth rubber. "It was not a bad match for me. In every service game I had game points but I was not sharp enough to take them. Even most of the return games were close. The scoreline look easy for him but we had long games," Balaji told PTI.
"Before going into the tie, we thought we had a chance of beating them. But they came up strong in every match." Serbia did not have multiple Grand Slam..

Did Peter Crouch hint that his wife Abbey Clancy is a gold-digger?
Former England striker Peter Crouch, 37, is not one of the greatest lookers and the lanky footballer is the first to admit it. In fact, he was even booed and groaned at on his England debut a few years ago.
So, how then did he manage to get a wife as stunning as Liverpool-based model Abbey Clancy, 32. It's his football that helped him find the woman of his dreams, says Stoke City striker Crouch, who is convinced that had he been in a normal job, he could never have got a woman like Clancy.
And in a recent interview with British tabloid The Daily Mirror, 6-foot-seven Crouch had no hesitation in admitting this. "Would I have ended up with a wife as attractive as Abbey? I'd like to think I'd have done OK. Maybe not that well, but I'd have done all right," said Crouch, going on to explain how he faced severe criticism in the past for his looks.
"I've heard every insult under the sun but it's made me a more resilient character. The jokes about how I look have actually made me stronger," ..

Khloe Kardashian wants sister Kim to be daughter's guardian angel
Keeping Up with The Kardashians star Khloe is keen that her elder sister Kim should become the legal guardian of her daughter True with basketball player Tristan Thompson.
"I can't make anything official until the baby is born, but I am going to probably have Kim as the legal guardian if God forbid something happens. Just because I don't know my parenting style until I have a baby, but from what I envision my parenting style to be, I do feel it will be more like Kim.
Kim Kardashian
"A little more stricter... watching Kim be a mom, I really respect her parenting skills. Not that I don't respect Kourtney's. I really relate to how Kim parents more," Khloe recalled what she spoke before the birth of True, according to a report in Female First.
Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian
Meanwhile, sister Kourtney has admitted she is a bit upset by Khloe's decision. "I mean, I'm a bit disappointed that I'm not the guardian. You never know, Khloe might switch back to me," said Kourtney.

Jamal Blackman owns label for taller men and curvier women
Chelsea goalkeeper Jamal Blackman, who is 6 feet 7 inches tall, has always struggled to find clothes that fit him. To tackle the issue, he decided in 2016 to have his own clothing line, Prodigieux.
He started with snapback caps and within two years, his company ventured into T-shirts, sweatshirts, bikinis and jackets, that fit and look good on bigger people, tall men and curvier women.
"There are quite a lot of designers out there that don't make clothes that fit big people. I'm 6'7" and it was always a problem for me finding clothes I liked that would fit my body. If I found a top I wanted, often the arms would be too short or I'd lift my arms up and it would look like a crop top," Blackman told The Sun.

According to People magazine, their son Caiden Zane Lochte, one, served as a ring bearer at the wedding.
RyanLochte's representative also confirmed the news that he and his wife tied the knot on September 9. The couple were engaged in 2016 and they first exchanged their vows in January at a courthouse in Gainseville.
