Olympic champion shooter Abhinav Bindra on Sunday congratulated Indian athletes for their Asian Games campaign but called for greater urgency in strengthening the country's high-performance ecosystem with the Los Angeles Olympics less than two years away. India finished at the fourth place on the medal table with 85 medals, including 21 gold, 27 silver and 37 bronze. "Congratulations to every Indian athlete and to Team India on the Asian Games. A Games campaign is never just the few days we see on television. It is years of early mornings, injuries, doubts, missed occasions and countless hours of work. "So first and foremost, enormous respect to our athletes and also to their families who live this journey with them and make sacrifices that are rarely seen. To the coaches, support staff, federations, SAI, the Government and everyone working behind the scenes, THANK YOU !," Bindra wrote on 'X'. "There have been some terrific breakthrough performances ...
Hollywood actor Jeremy Renner, who survived after being crushed under a snowplough on New Year' Day, has shared update on his ongoing recovery. The 52-year-old added a photo and video to his Instagram Story that showed tubes in his nose while he used a hyperbaric oxygen chamber and the actor working out his legs, which are filled with "titanium". Mr Renner broke more than 30 bones in January when he was crushed by a seven-tonne snowplough. He spent a few weeks in hospital and since then, has been recovering at home.
The latest Instagram photo was captioned "Sending love from O2 chamber". The video he shared carried the caption, "Knees/ankles recalibrating. Strengthening around the titanium to set up for later rounds in life."
He also shared the same video on Twitter.

Mr Renner had revealed earlier this month that he is using a hyperbaric oxygen chamber twice a day. These chambers create an environment in which users can breathe 100 per cent oxygen as opposed to the 21 per cent found in air.
They help in speeding up the healing process by allowing the lungs to absorb more oxygen and pass it into the bloodstream.
The actor told The New York Times in April that he'd "lost a lot of flesh and bone" but "has been refilled with love and titanium".
Mr Renner suffered blunt chest trauma after a snowplough ran over him at his property outside Reno, Nevada, when he was trying to save his nephew.
The actor had to be flown to the hospital in an air ambulance and underwent treatment in intensive care.
In April, he paid a visit to the hospital staff who saved his life following the accident. He also made his red carpet return in Los Angeles for the premiere of his Disney+ show Rennervations.
