INDIA — Dramatic airborne, barehand catch: India’s Mohammed Siraj takes the catch to get the wicket of Bangladesh’s Shakib Al Hasan on the fourth day of the second cricket test match between Bangladesh and India in Kanpur, India, Monday, Sept. 30, 2024. Team India broke the record for fastest team fifty and fastest team hundred by clinching, in three overs and ten overs, respectively, during day four of the second Test in Kanpur on Monday, India Times reported.

India also set another record in this match: achieving the fastest team hundred in Test cricket. They reached 100 runs in just 10.1 overs, beating their previous fastest hundred of 12.2 overs from a match they played against the West Indies last year.

BOGOTA — Definitely a derby, but not sure how to name it: Participants complete a homemade gravity-powered vehicles race in Bogota, Colombia, Sunday, Sept. 29, 2024. The Red Bull Soap Box challenge has helped foster a resurgence of this activity. Red Bull has targeted the teen population (ages 13-21) and the working professional age group (21-35).

Gravity racers can average about 85.6 mph, much higher than most highway speed limits, except perhaps for the United Arab Emirates, which has set the highest legal speed limit at about 99 mph.

VIENNA — All over the globe, elections happen, but some result in weakened compassion amid rising costs and conflict: Herbert Kickl, leader of the Freedom Party of Austria, waves to supporters in Vienna, Austria, on Sunday, Sept. 29, 2024, after polls closed in the country’s national election. The Freedom Party secured the first far-right national parliamentary election victory in post-World War II Austria. It based its campaign on Austrians’ worries over immigration, inflation, Ukraine and other issues.

The Freedom Party’s “Fortress Austria” programme calls for “remigration of uninvited foreigners” to achieve a more “homogeneous” nation by tightly controlling borders and suspending the right to asylum via an emergency law.

GREEN BAY — In this league, flexibility is necessary for survival: Minnesota Vikings safety Camryn Bynum does a backflip as he celebrates a fumble recovery during the second half of an NFL football game against the Green Bay Packers, Sunday, Sept. 29, 2024, in Green Bay, WI.

Packers Quarterback Jordan Love was returning to the field after being on the disabled list for sustained a sprained MCL (medial collateral ligament) in the final seconds of a Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and missed the last two contests. That is a common injury occurring when the knee is twisted in the wrong way.

ZURICH — The winner — ‘Look, Ma; no hands!’ Slovenia’s Tadej Pogacar crosses the finish line to win the Men’s Elite Road Race of the Cycling and Para-cycling Road World Championships in Zurich, Switzerland, Sunday, Sept. 29, 2024. Pogacar, the three-time Tour de France champion, featured on these pages earlier this summer, won by surging ahead of his competitors some 50 km from the end of the race, 34 seconds ahead of Australian Ben O’Connor and 58 seconds ahead of defending champion Mathieu van der Poel of the Netherlands, according to the Associated Press.

Pogacar’s native Slovenia borders both Austria and the Adriatic Sea, setting the nation across from the Italian peninsula. Slovenia’s northern region is mountainous, giving cyclists a wide range of topographic challenges to master.

MOSCOW — Law & Order, Russian-style: Alexander Permyakov, a Ukrainian national standing trial over a car bombing that injured well-known nationalist novelist and ardent Kremlin supporter Zakhar Prilepin, sits in a glass cage in a courtroom prior to a session in the Russian Military Court in Moscow, Russia, Monday, Sept. 30, 2024.

TOKYO — New rule — if you smash your racket in anger, you must use left hand, backhand: Holger Rune of Denmark smashes his racket in frustration during his men’s singles semifinal match against Arthur Fils of France at the Japan Open tennis tournament on Monday, Sept. 30, 2024, at Ariake Colosseum, in Tokyo, Japan.

Smashing one’s racquet is considered unsportsmanlike and abusive and can result in fines. According to a New York Times list of rule violations at major tennis grand slam events from 1998-2008, there were 699 incidents of men smashing their racquets, but only 99 similar incidents involving women players.
