Tiger Woods confirms his relationship with Vanessa Trump in a social media post
Tiger Woods has confirmed his relationship with the former daughter-in-law of President Donald Trump, publishing two images to social media in a post that said, Love is in the air. Woods and Vanessa Trump, who was married to Donald Trump Jr., had been seen at Torrey Pines in San Diego along with her daughter, Kai, when Woods arrived for the final round to hand out the trophy to the winner of the Genesis Invitational. He is the tournament host. Kai Trump goes to the Benjamin School with Woods two children, Sam and Charlie. She and Charlie competed on an invitation at a high-profile junior golf tournament this week. Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together, Woods said on X, where he has 6.4 million followers. He added: At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts. One photo shows Woods and Vanessa Trump posing together, another with them lying in a hammock with her arm draped across his chest as he gazes skyward. Woods and Vanessa Trump had been featured in gossip outlets for the last several weeks. She was married to Donald Trump Jr. for 12 years. They had five children together. Woods announced March 11 that he ruptured his left Achilles tendon, knocking him out of the Masters and likely for the rest of the year. It was not clear what prompted Woods, who keeps his personal life fiercely private, to publish photos confirming the relationship. It was reminiscent of 2013, when he and Lindsey Vonn both posted photos of them together to confirm they were dating. Woods said at the time he and Vonn wanted to limit the stalkarazzi and all those sleazy websites that are out there following us, saying it could lead to dangerous situations involving his children. He also said their photos would devalue anything the paparazzi had. Woods has two children from his marriage to Elin Nordegren, who divorced him 2010 after he had been exposed for multiple extramarital affairs. His only other public relationship was with Erica Herman, which lasted about seven years until he ended it in October 2022. It was a messy split, and Herman eventually dismissed lawsuits against Woods and the trust that owns his south Florida estate, where she had been living.
Jaspreet Kaur breaks powerlifting national record, Sheetal edges Payal for gold in archery
NEW DELHI: Punjab powerlifter Jaspreet Kaur grabbed a share of the spotlight with two 'special' archers as she bettered her own the national record in 45kg category to win the gold on the fourth day of the Khelo India Para Games (KIPG) here on Sunday. The 31-year-old became the first athlete in this edition of KIPG to break a national record, surpassing her previous best of 100kg set in 2023, when she also won gold in the same event. I wanted to perform even better this time around. Shattering a national record has also helped me climb up the national rankings, Kaur told SAI Media. Gaining 16kg in strength over two years was no easy feat, and Kaur underwent intense training, researched new techniques, and adjusted her diet to maintain peak fitness. However, her biggest challenge was dealing with anxiety. I made my debut in 2022 at the nationals. So, I always felt I was quite new to the sport. It took me a while to realise that to develop strength and muscle, it would take time. It does not happen overnight. It took me three years to deliver such performances, said Kaur, who had polio at the age of three. Meanwhile, Manish set a new national record in the 54kg category, lifting 166kg to claim gold. In a highly anticipated compound archery open category final, Jammu and Kashmirs armless archer and Paralympics medallist Sheetal Devi edged out Odishas quadruple amputee Payal Nag to win gold. Defending champion Sheetal, 18, came from behind to defeat 17-year-old Payal 109-103 in their final match. Payal, who lost all four limbs due to electrocution as a child, competes using prosthetic legs. Despite the sunny conditions in the national capital, the archers delivered fierce competition. Among other notable results, 40-year-old Rakesh Kumar and 30-year-old Jyoti Baliyan clinched gold medals in their respective events. Jharkhands Vijay Sundi triumphed over Haryanas Vikas Bhakar 6-4 in the mens recurve open gold medal match, while Haryanas Pooja edged out Maharashtras Rajshri Rathod by the same scoreline to win the womens recurve open gold. Veteran para archer Adil Mohammed Nazir Ansari of Maharashtra, 44, successfully defended his title in the W1 mens event, adding another gold to his tally after winning in the 2023 edition. At the Karni Singh Shooting Range, Uttar Pradeshs Sumedha Pathak caused a major upset in the womens 10m air pistol SH1 category, defeating 2024 Paralympics medallist and tournament favourite Rubina Francis to claim gold. Maharashtras Sagar Balasaheb Katale emerged victorious in the mixed 10m air rifle prone SH2 category, beating Tokyo Paralympian Swaroop Mahavir Unhalkar, who settled for silver. By the end of Day 4, Tamil Nadu topped the medal tally with 22 golds, followed by Haryana with 18. Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan secured 13 gold medals each.

Oscar Piastri wins Chinese Grand Prix from pole in McLaren one-two
SHANGHAI: Oscar Piastri led from pole to win the Chinese Grand Prix on Sunday as McLaren used a one-stop strategy to complete a dominant one-two with Lando Norris second. George Russell was third in a Mercedes with Red Bull's world champion Max Verstappen snatching fourth place after a thrilling late pass on Ferrari's Charles Leclerc. Lewis Hamilton came home sixth behind his teammate after his first Ferrari victory in Saturday's sprint race in Shanghai, when Piastri had been second. It's been an incredible weekend, the car has been pretty mega, said the Australian Piastri, who had been running second a week ago in Melbourne' season-opener before a late spin. Very, very happy. The hard was a much better tyre than everyone expected, so to go all the way to the end was a bit of a surprise, but a happy surprise. Norris had to cope with a late brake issue which forced him to settle for second rather than challenge his teammate. The Briton continues to lead the championship after two race weekends on 44 points from Verstappen on 36. Russell started from second and knew it was imperative to try to grab the lead off the line. Instead he was squeezed by Piastri on the long first bend complex, which allowed Norris to surge past into second. Both Ferraris got past Verstappen on the same bend, relegating the world champion from fourth to sixth. Leclerc lost part of his front wing when it brushed Hamilton's rear right wheel but it did not affect his pace. Hamilton was the first of the front-runners to dive in for new rubber on lap 14. All the others followed for hard tyres with Russell getting past Norris in the melee. But the McLaren showed superior pace and surged back past at the end of the pit straight with the help of DRS. Hamilton began to struggle on the hard compound and allowed his teammate past on lap 21 freeing Leclerc to go after Russell. On lap 38 Hamilton had to pit again for new tyres, dropping him behind Verstappen. The front five all stayed out as it became clear they were going to attempt to make the hard tyres last till the end of the 56 laps. Verstappen had nursed his tyres throughout the race which enabled him to have a late charge on Leclerc and pass the Ferrari at the start of lap 54. Haas finished with two cars in the points as Esteban Ocon was seventh and rookie Ollie Bearman 10th. The other points scorers were Mercedes teenager Kimi Antonelli in eighth with Alex Albon ninth in his Williams on his 29th birthday.

SHANGHAI: McLarens Oscar Piastri scored his maiden pole position in Formula 1 ahead of SundaysChinese Grand Prixby delivering two sizzling laps that were quick enough for the top spot ahead of Mercedes George Russell. The 23-year-old Australian, who is maximizing his weekend with second in Saturday morningsSprint race, said hes pretty pumped to go one better Sunday, with the major challenge being tire wear. Piastri, who will startthe 56-lap racetwo places ahead of McLaren teammate Lando Norris, set it up by putting it all on the line on his final Q3 lap. My first lap was honestly better than my second lap, but just at the end of the (back) straight I lost a bit of time and didnt do the best hairpin, Piastri said. On the second lap, he continued, I was about two-tenths down on myself. So, I kind of just went why not send it into the hairpin and I gained those back, and found a little bit more in the last corner. I was tempted to box before that, so Im pretty happy now that I didnt. Norris, whowon the season opening Australian Grand Prix, will start ahead of his expected title rival, Red Bulls Max Verstappen, who was fourth. Sprint winner Lewis Hamilton starts fifth for Ferrari ahead of teammate Charles Leclerc. Russell will be on the front row for the 15th time and first since Qatar last year. The British driver was thrilled to split the McLarens giventhe pace deficithe previously highlighted. To be on the front row is a really great place to start, Russell said. Russell had also managed to pull out a searing final lap, describing the qualifying session as one of the hardest of his career, given the difficulty in managing the tires. The first lap in Q3, I was full-gas. And it seemed OK, I was thinking I was in P5 ... and then found four-tenths on my last lap, he said. Norris led the first segments of qualifying (Q1 and Q3) but said hed done a terrible job in the session, having pitted on his final lap following a couple of mistakes. Oscars shown great pace. I definitely havent, Norris said. Whenever we struggle with front (tire) graining, its something I just struggle with a lot, he added. Its difficult for me, its been a therefore difficult weekend, just trying to deal with those things. Its not something Im strong enough in. The 25-year-old Norris said he has a long night ahead of me to analyze data and see where I can improve for tomorrow. Racing Bulls, Red Bulls second team, have again featured in the top 10, withF1 rookie Isack Hadjar who crashed out of his opening race in Australia on the formation lap set to start seventh, two places ahead of his experienced teammate Yuki Tsunoda. Hadjar was later fined 5,000 euros ($5,400) for an unsafe pit release, which put him in Verstappen's path. Another rookie, Andrea Kimi Antonelli, is eighth for Mercedes. Williams Alex Albon completed the top 10 and teammate Carlos Sainz Jr. will start from 15th. Piastris first pole is also the first for an Australian since countryman Daniel Ricciardo for Red Bull at the 2018 Mexican Grand Prix. Its nice to do for myself, but it is also nice to do it for Australia as well, he said. Sundays race starts at 3 p.m. local time (0700 GMT).
