There was speculation that India were going to launch a sensational bid to host the Olympics in 9 years’ time. However, there was no official confirmation either by the South Asian nation or the IOC. Bach expressed his surprise at the rumours surrounding India’s bid for the 2024 Olympics as he thinks that India is not ready to host an event of such magnitude yet. He said, “We were aware of the speculation (about India’s possible bid for 2024 Games)....

RELATED: Boruto: Every Arc So Far, Ranked Throughout all the arcs and major events in Naruto and Naruto Shippuden, there have been a ton of different openings, some more memorable than others, so, here’s a look at the best of the best. Updated February 12th, 2021 by Jacob Buchalter: Thinking back on it now, there really are quite a lot of openings throughout the Naruto and Naruto Shippuden series. And, because so many people grew up on them, almost every single OP holds a special place in someone’s heart....

RELATED: Naruto: Ways Sarada Is Just Like Her Dad (& Ways They’re Different) Every single ninja in Naruto who has held the title of Hokage is remarkably strong–the strongest usually by huge margins. A ninja doesn’t become a Hokage just based on popularity alone. They ultimately have to be the main protector of their village, after all. However, for the sake of argument and entertainment, ranking these powerful characters is a plausible task....

RELATED: Naruto: All The Filler Episodes In The Anime Naruto is set in an alternate version of feudal Japan, and there are plenty of fights that feature weapons like katanas and kunai, so Ghost of Tsushima fans should give it a try.

RELATED: Boruto: Every Power Upgrade Sasuke Uchiha Gained After The War Being the very first village, many powerful clans wanted to become a part of it, which is why most strong shinobi belong to Konohagakure. However, other countries quickly copied their model, and thus the shinobi village system was born. In the coming years, these villages birthed some incredibly powerful shinobi as well. Updated April 19, 2022, by Rei Penber: Since the majority of the Naruto series is focused on Konohagakure, the ninjas from the rest of the villages often go unnoticed....

As such, attaining the position of Hokage is made to be one of the biggest aspects of Naruto Uzumaki’s story. Over the years, the story has introduced several Hokage, starting from the First and continuing onwards with the Seventh. Although one would expect the same things from every Hokage, the fact is that every single one of them has had their strengths and weaknesses. The Hokage aren’t infallible and it takes more than just strength to assume what is the grandest position in the Naruto world....

And what frankly was a bit of a snoozer ended with a fantastic finish and a historic result. Cole Custer, a Cup Series rookie who entered the weekend 25th in points, powered his way around veteran drivers Kevin Harvick, Martin Truex Jr. and Ryan Blaney on the last lap with a four-wide pass on the outside. The only lap he led all day made the 22-year-old the first rookie ever to win a Cup race at Kentucky....

All Junior has done at the high-banked 2.66-mile layout over his career is win six times, including this race last fall — he also finished second in the fall. His next win at Talladega will break a tie with Jeff Gordon for second most in track history. Dale Sr. is the track’s all-time leader with 10 wins, including the last of his great career in 2000. In addition to all of Junior’s outstanding past history at Talladega, he’s also got his favorite restrictor-plate package chassis going, a car that won in two of the four plate races last season....

The race was red-flagged with less than 20 laps remaining for cleanup of a crash involving 16 cars. Five laps later, another red flag was brought out, but Keselowski again avoided any substantial damage. In the end, only 14 cars finished the race, out of a starting field of 40. There were just six undamaged cars on the track at the finish. MORE: Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s 10 best Talladega moments...

Hendrick Motorsports has two of the best drivers in the game in Kyle Larson and Chase Elliott. The 2021 and 2020 Cup Series champions have claimed checkered flag after checkered flag over the course of the past few seasons. But racing is a zero-sum game. And as much as it is important to maintain relationships between teammates, there’s nothing like the feeling of ending up in victory lane. So with Elliott firmly ahead deep in the final stage, Larson made a move for the front....

The campaign is a collaborative effort by ad giant Ogilvy & Mather, NASCAR and ESPN, and features five original television spots and an educational video. There’s also a social media push behind the campaign, and several drivers tweeted a link to the video this week.

Sometimes, though, those celebrations go a little far. On Sunday at Watkins Glen, Denny Hamlin enjoyed a rather enthusiastic celebration of his first road-course victory in the Sprint Cup ranks. Then, with his tires blown out and his transmission broken, he climbed from his car and walked to victory lane. Now, NASCAR officials could be cracking down on such celebrations. MORE: Watkins Glen Winners & Losers | Images from race...

MORE: Round of 8 standings Meanwhile, Chase Elliott is looking up from the final spot in the Round of 8, back an intimidating 26 points after yet another time career victory No. 1 slipped from his grasp in the closing moments. Or was it yanked away? Again, it’s all about perspective. “It’s just Martinsville –– that’s what it’s all about,” Harvick said. “It’s championship time.” Harvick, who escaped unscathed and with his playoff destiny at least momentarily secure after finishing fifth, was painting with a broad brush....

Moore won the NASCAR premier series title in 1957 as crew chief for Buck Baker and car owner titles in 1962 and ‘63 with Joe Weatherly.

There have been seven races on 1.5-mile tracks this season and there are four more to go including Sunday’s race. Brad Keselowski has won three of them, but Kevin Harvick comes in with the next lowest odds at 9-to-2 while Keselowski is posted at 5-to-1. Only Penske Racing and Hendrick Motorsports drivers have won on this type of track this season, but Harvick has been as close to winning as you can get without actually doing so....

Until someone knocks the champ out, he’s still the champ, and the Westgate oddsmakers believe in the champ to advance. By making him the favorite at New Hampshire, they’re telling Las Vegas, ‘Kevin Harvick is the driver we want the least amount of money on this week.’ The respect for Harvick partly stems from his series-leading 18 top-five finishes, but most of it comes from what we saw when the chips were down last season and Harvick had to win at Phoenix to advance to the Championship Round at Homestead....
