Paris had seven years. Amdavad has four. The famous Paris 2024 number — 95% of venues already existing or temporary — wasn't won in 2024. It was written into the bid book in 2017, before the vote. What's worth copying isn't what Paris built. It's when Paris decided. The flag came to Amdavad on Sunday. The clock started with it.

The Commonwealth Games flag passed to Amdavad on Sunday night. Paris had seven years to become Paris — and had already made its defining decision before the vote. India has four.

India has its first Commonwealth Games para-athletics gold. Sharmila Dhankar threw 9.81m in Glasgow — having taken up shot put at 34, after polio, after leaving an abusive marriage, after her family sold their house to fund the travel. The story isn't the courage — it's the design flaw: talent identification built around 14-year-olds structurally misses para sport. Paris 2024's record 45% women's participation shows what the machinery looks like when it's built.

In Glasgow on 27 July, Sharmila Dhankar threw 9.81m and became the first Indian para-athlete to win a Commonwealth Games athletics title. She had picked up a shot put for the first time only six years earlier. Her story is not only about courage. It is about who a sporting system bothers to look for...

Mbappé came from Bondy, not from money. What built him was a ladder — local clubs, base-level coaches, a pathway that finds a talented child regardless of what the family can pay. India can build one too, and it's the method IFSA carries via OL, LOSC and the IFFT.

The best footballer of his generation came from a crowded pitch in a working-class Paris suburb, not from wealth. How France turns a neighbourhood into a talent pipeline is a lesson India can borrow — and a bridge IFSA is already building.

From FY27, sport is a notified CPSE CSR theme — a two-year window of public-sector money looking for credible projects. Our take: fund the pathway, not the photo.

A quiet policy change opened a two-year window of public-sector CSR money for Indian sport. The easy way to spend it buys optics. The high-return way buys method — and that is exactly what the France–India bridge exists to carry.

India's first medal in Glasgow came from a Bihar para-powerlifter who drove — then sold — an e-rickshaw to compete. His grit got him there alone. We look at the Franco-Indian para pathway (Para Élan, IFI+PCI) that should build the road so the next athlete isn't.

India's first medal of the Glasgow Games came not from a star, but from a para-powerlifter from a Bihar village who drove an e-rickshaw to survive. His grit got him there alone. The point of the France–India bridge is to make sure the next one isn't alone.

79 years ago, India got the freedom to build its own next chapter. This year, in sport, here's what we actually built with one partner: a signed basketball pathway, a football student-athlete route, an active para-sport pipeline, and the first Indian woman ever at the Tour de France. Not a flag post. A progress report.

Every Independence Day gets a flag, a speech, a scroll of achievements. This year we could write that post too. Instead, here's a harder and more useful one: not what India has achieved alone, but what it has built, this year, with one specific partner.

119,000 Indians in France. A sport system built entirely around the club and the licence. Here's what it actually takes to find a game here — and the doors IFSA has already built, and the ones we're building next.

France has roughly 119,000 people of Indian origin, most of them in and around Paris, and a sport system built almost entirely around one word: the club. Here is what it actually takes for someone new to France to find a game — and what IFSA is building so fewer people have to work it out alone.

Delhi 2010: a collapsed footbridge, eight days out. A 743-page CAG report on what went wrong. Amdavad 2030 has the one thing Delhi didn't — time to plan differently.

India has hosted a Commonwealth Games before. The record of what went wrong in Delhi in 2010 is the single most useful planning document Amdavad 2030 has — if the organisers choose to read it as one.

She didn't race the Tour de France. She previewed it — 4.5 ceremonial km, one of 8 riders worldwide picked for UCI's talent programme. Harsh*ta Jakhar, 19, from Rajasthan, is the first Indian woman ever on that start line.

On 3 August, 19-year-old Harsh*ta Jakhar became the first Indian woman to ever feature at the Tour de France Femmes. She didn't race a single competitive kilometre of it — and the way she got there says more about India's cycling gap than a result would have.

Paris 2024: 8th of 8. Glasgow 2026: a Commonwealth Games record. Dilip Gavit's two years, and what a coach named Vaijnath Kale built with him.

Two years ago, Dilip Gavit finished eighth of eight in a Paralympic final. In Glasgow this summer, he ran a distance he had trained for two months to become the first Indian para track athlete to win Commonwealth Games gold.
