New Delhi, March 25 (Ians) Former world bronze medallist Narsingh Yadav says competing in the men's 79kg freestyle class, a non-Olympic weight category, in next month's Senior Asian Wrestling Championship in Almaty, will be an advantage as it will improve his match fitness.
"It might be a different category but the more I compete, the better, as there is still hope of making the cut for the Tokyo Olympic Games," Yadav told Ians a day after being picked in the Indian team for the Almaty competition.
Last week, Yadav, 31, couldn't make the cut in the highly competitive 74kg class, an Olympic weight category, in which Sandeep Singh of Punjab was selected for Almaty.
Sandeep had earlier defeated Yadav in the National Wrestling Competition, held in Noida in January.
On Wednesday, Yadav emerged the front runner in the new weight group for the continental competition to be held from April 9 to 18.

New Delhi, March 13 (Ians) Two leading athletes -- one of them an Asian Games medallist - have failed dope tests for performance enhancing drugs, said Navin Aggarwal, director general of the National Anti Doping Agency (Nada), here on Saturday.
Aggarwal didn't reveal the names of the athletes whose B sample is yet to be tested, but said Nada had collected the urine and blood samples during the three Indian Grand Prix events in Patiala recently and the National Race Walking Championships in Ranchi.
Each sample taken is kept in two separate bottles -- A and B. And if the A sample turns positive then athletes have the right to have their B samples tested.
The athletes, if proved guilty during Nada's anti-doping disciplinary panel hearing, could face a four-year ban for the first doping offence.

While out celebrating the birthday of his friend who is deployed in the army, a man learns of his death while on active duty. Unable to cope with the loss, he begins to spiral, rejecting the idea as well as becoming confrontational to those around him. As the situation begin to sink in, the man continues to struggle with the loss and begins to lose himself in booze and paranoia.
“The Call” review is part of the Submit Your Film Initiative
“The Call” offers an intimate and sincere portrait of one man dealing with the loss of his friend. While expressing a more extreme form of coping, the short also examines the difficulty of some people to manage powerful emotions in such a situation. Consequently, the film not only explores the theme of loss but the inability some men face in rationalizing their emotions with their identity tied to masculinity.

Vasco (Goa), Feb 26 (Ians) NorthEast United qualified for the Indian Super League (Isl) playoffs with a 2-0 win over Kerala Blasters at the Tilak Maidan on Friday. NorthEast needed at least a point from the match to cement their place among the top four and an all-round performance helped them leave their playoff rivals Fc Goa and Hyderabad Fc behind.
NorthEast went two goals up in the first half itself through Suhair Vadakkepeedika (34th minute) and Lalengmawia (45th).
Coach Khalid Jamil fielded an unchanged XI from their previous game while Kerala Blasters had just one change with Sandeep Singh preferred over Subha Ghosh.
NorthEast fashioned a great opportunity soon after the start. Luis Machado sent in a delivery into the box, which was headed out straight back to him. His cross from the right found Dylan Fox but he shot wide.
At the other end, Kerala missed a chance to go in front.
