Pod Of The Rings

Pod of the Rings returns with an episode on the restart of wrestling -- both the international season and the Indian domestic calendar. Vinay and Jonathan talk about Olympic silver medallist Ravi Dahiya's return from injury in France, whether he will be able to take on Aman Sehrawat and also what to look forward to at the Wrestling Nationals in February.

Two-time Olympic medalist PV Sindhu is struggling big time this year. What has changed for her and can she come back? Vinayakk joins us again to delve into these questions. In the second segment, Jonathan and Vinay discuss the selection process of Indian sports federations and the comedy that happens.

With mammoth wins at the Asian Championships and the Indonesia Open, it's fair to say, Chirag Shetty and Satwik Reddy are no longer prospects but the face of Indian badminton. Vinayakk M joins regular hosts Jonathan Selvaraj and Vinay Siwach to look at their journey to the top and analyse just how high their ceiling is. @vinayakkm's thread: https://twitter.com/vinayakkm/status/1670778045685444608?s=20

Indian athletes have got their 2023 season off to a blazing start with 4 national records, a Diamond League win and several other world-class performances. In this week's episode of Pod of the Rings, we take a look at what India's track and field campaign for the year might look like.

The first episode of Pod Of The Rings is here! Can you remember the last time Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia were not part of the Asian Championships? Indian wrestling is witnessing a change both on and off the mat. Tune in to know more.

Pod of the Rings returns after India won six medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics. But what to expect from India after the Olympics? We talk about the age-group tournaments and much more.

India won three bronze medals at the men's World Championships and four gold medals at the women's World Championships. But where does it stand as the Asian Games and Paris Olympics approach? Jonathan Selvaraj is joined by Taylor O'Higgins, who is a boxer, coach, writer and law student. Dive in.

The wrestlers' protest fizzled out in January, with the hope that something is done by the Sports Ministry against WFI President Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who was accused of sexual harassment. However, wrestlers realised that it was not the case. So they are back protesting at the Jantar Mantar, demanding an FIR against the former WFI chief, which was done but only after Supreme Court's intervention. But the question remains: what is the end game here?

Priyanshu Rajawat finally got India's first singles win on the BWF world tour with a victory at the Orleans Masters. However, it is also true that apart from a few promising results like that of Rajawat, India has had an otherwise mixed start to the season. Dev Sukumar joins Vinay and Jonathan on Pod Of The Rings to make sense of the current state of Indian badminton and what fans could expect ahead of the start of the Olympic qualification cycle next month.
