PICTURE: Giancarlo Colombo CRICKET Afghanistan make history with Test win over Ireland Rahmat Shah and Ihsanullah Janat scored fifties as Afghanistan chased down 147 with seven wickets to spare AFP Dehradun, India fghanistan claimed their fi rst ever victory in Test cricket yesterday, beating fellow new- comers Ireland in what captain AAsghar Afghan hailed as a historic day for the war-torn country. Afghanistan and Ireland both achieved full mem- ber status of the International Cricket Council in 2017, becoming only the 11th and 12th teams to play the long format of the sport beloved of purists. Rahmat Shah and Ihsanullah Janat scored fi fties as Afghanistan chased down 147 to beat Ireland by seven wick- ets on day four of the one-off game in the north Indian city of Dehradun. “It’s a historic day for Afghanistan, for our team and our people,” Afghan said. “We have been playing for a while, we have been playing fi rst-class cricket, so we have that composure. The bowlers were very good, Rashid (Khan), Yamin (Ahmadzai),” he added. Afghanistan were steered to their target by a 139-run partnership between Shah, who made 76, and debutant Janat, who hit an unbeaten 65. Shah, a top-order batsman, regis- tered his second fi fty of the match after making 98 in Afghanistan’s fi rst innings score of 314. With three needed to win, Afghanistan lost Shah and then Moham- mad Nabi in successive deliveries be- fore Hashmatullah Shahidi came to the crease and hit the winning boundary. “I want to congratulate all the lads in the team, they have been absolutely brilliant,” said Afghan. “We have got a few games before the World Cup and we want to make every opportunity count,” the captain added. Cricket has become the national sport of Afghanistan, torn apart by decades of war, with many of the Afghan players cutting their cricketing teeth in refugee camps in Pakistan. The country gained Afghanistan players pose with the trophy after winning the one-off Test match against Ireland in the northern Indian city of Dehradun yesterday.

  • Nathan Chen and Rika Kihira Lead the Men and Ladies Short Program in Vancouver
    December 6, 2018 Vancouver, Canada Nathan Chen and Rika Kihira lead the Men and Ladies Short Program in Vancouver Nathan Chen (USA) skates to lead in Men’s Short Program Reigning World Champion Nathan Chen (USA) took the Men’s Short Program as the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final continued Thursday in Vancouver (CAN). Japan’s Shoma Uno stands in second place and Michal Brezina of the Czech Republic ranks third. Chen opened his routine to “Caravan” with a solid triple Axel and a quad flip, but then stumbled on the quad toeloop and had no combination jump. The reigning World Champion collected a level four for his spins and step sequence and managed a season’s best with 92.99 points. “Clearly I made the big mistake at the end of the program (on the quad toe) - something that I could totally have avoided, it's just a little bit of a slip. But I'm glad I'm getting experience, I'm doing the program throughout the season and making mistakes like this so I can keep learning,” the U.S. Champion said. Uno underrotated and stepped out of his quad flip but landed a quad toe-double toe and a triple Axel. The Olympic silver medalist scored 91.67 points and was disappointed with himself. “I couldn't do anything what I trained for in Japan. Today at the practice, both in the morning and the six minutes warm up, I couldn't jump properly. I am not ill or injured. I have absolutely no excuse as to why I couldn't jump.

Skate Canada International is the second of six events of the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating 2019/2020. Hanyu (JPN) dazzles in Men’s Short Program at Skate Canada Two-time Olympic champion Yuzuru Hanyu of Japan swept aside the competition in the Men’s Short Program at Skate Canada in Kelowna on Friday, winning with 20 points to spare in a stunning performance. Grand Prix debutant Camden Pulkinen (USA) surprisingly came second ahead of Canada’s Nam Nguyen. Hanyu opened his dramatic performance to “Otonal” by Raul di Blasio with a quadruple Salchow and a triple Axel followed by a quadruple-triple toeloop combination. The 2019 world silver medalist collected a level four for his spins and earned a mammoth 109.60 points to the delight of the enthralled crowd. “It was not so great, but I felt I did my best today. I felt calm today, but I am not sure if my calmness led to me being more focused,” the two-time world champion explained. Pulkinen produced a quadruple toeloop, triple Axel, triple Lutz-triple toeloop and solid spins in his routine to “Caruso” to set a personal best of 89.05 points.
