India dominated the World Para Athletics Grand Prix, led by Paralympic champion Sumit Antil, who won javelin gold with a 69.25m throw, ahead of compatriots Pushpendra Singh and Poonam Ram. Antil said he exceeded expectations and now targets 75m at the Asian Games. Indian athletes also shone across multiple track and field events, often sweeping the podium.

ARLINGTON, Texas Its typical to hear lots of screaming inside Jerry's World during Dallas Cowboys football games. This weekend, there will be the scream of INDYCAR engines around AT&T Stadium (home of the Cowboys) and Globe Life Stadium (home of the Texas Rangers) as drivers navigate a 2.73-mile course for the first time in series history. There are 14 turns nine right-handers and five left-handers. The inaugural Grand Prix of Arlington (12:30 p.m. ET, FOX) will present a challenge as no driver has experience on the course. It will also present an event with the marketing and branding force of the Cowboys behind it. Heres what to know about the race: How Will Drivers Prepare? Typically, the drivers practice and determine setups in a simulator where the track surface has been scanned and then the data is supplemented from what teams learn on a race weekend. But there have been no scans of this tracks surface. So the simulator track is determined through GPS. That makes it difficult to recognize bumps. And until the walls were placed in the last few weeks, no one really knew their exact location. [POWER RANKINGS: Who is on top heading into Arlington?] Alexander Rossi, driver of the No. 20 car for ECR, answered my question during a Zoom this week on just how little he knows from the simulator. "The track scans are very high quality, but for a place like this that's brand new, you don't have a full surface scan," Rossi said. "You only have essentially a GPS scan with walls kind of placed around the perimeter. "Both Honda and Chevy have kind of the same track model, so you don't have any sort of the bumps modeled or grip differential depending on surfaces." So how does it help? "Its a great tool to at least know what corner comes next," Rossi said. "But in terms of brake points and grip levels, how fast you can actually go, the line, where bumps are, that sort of thing everyone will be figuring that out together kind of starting from zero." What Else Can They Do To Prepare? Pato OWard, driver of the No. 5 car for Arrow McLaren, said he never even got a chance to do the simulator. But some fans have posted online laps on YouTube from what theyve been able to create. "I'm curious to see what it's going to be all about, and I do think it's going to be a little chaotic," OWard said. "People are going to be getting creative. They're going to stuff their nose where they shouldn't, and it's going to create roadblocks." What Is Unique About This Course? Most of the street circuits are shorter ones, typically around 2 miles. This one is the longest for INDYCAR at 2.73 miles. The other street courses: Markham (2.19 miles), Long Beach (1.968), St. Petersburg (1.8), Washington (1.66) and Detroit (1.645). That makes this one a little more unique in that they will be doing laps of around 90 seconds instead of 50 seconds. There are enough viewing areas that give a look at multiple track locations that fans shouldnt feel as if they are waiting forever for the cars to come by. "[The short courses are] not very interesting for the fans," Arrow McLaren No. 7 car driver Christian Lundgaard told me. "It's certainly not interesting for us as drivers. We aren't really enjoying the layout of the track. And I think here we will. "And I think that's the big difference is this is actually exciting. And I think what the promoters and the series have done for this place is it's not just a race, it's a venue, and everything that follows around is what will make the difference." Rigorous Schedule Last year, the 2025 season kicked off in St. Petersburg and then had two races over the next eight weeks. This year, it is opening with three races in back-to-back-to-back weeks St. Petersburg, Phoenix and now Arlington. [INSIDE THE GARAGE: Team Penske Relishes Phoenix Sweep] It makes for some road-weary crew members, but at least there is a feeling of momentum. "I think what's more draining, from a mental and just energy standpoint, is traveling around is what really drains you," Lundgaard said. "The work doesn't stop. And I think at the end of the year, that's when you really feel it. "But I'm just excited to be here and put on a show." Are These The Same Cars As Phoenix? Kind of. The front wing and rear wing are different for road and street courses than they are for the ovals. Teams also would use different dampers (suspension pieces). Teams worked on their cars Sunday at Phoenix before leaving Arizona, the crews will likely going home to Indianapolis for a few days and the team haulers already headed to Texas. Is Alex Palou Good At New Courses? Yes he is. Alex Palou, the three-time defending series champion who currently is fifth in the standings after two races, has won the last two races at new tracks: Last year in the first points race at Thermal and 2023 at the new Detroit course. [KEVIN HARVICK: Open-Wheel Crashes at Phoenix 'Could Have Been Prevented'] Marcus Ericsson won the inaugural race on the Nashville street course in 2021. What Is New About Qualifying? In the final "Fast Six" round, instead of having a six-minute session with drivers running as many laps as they can get in with the best last counting, each of the six finalists will get only one lap. Only one car will be on the track at a time, allowing for more exposure of each of the six drivers vying for the pole. Are there any hometown drivers? Santino Ferrucci, driver of the No. 14 car for AJ Foyt Racing, lives in the Dallas area and expects to have plenty of support. "I think it's bigger here than Indy for me," Ferrucci told me and other reporters last week. "I have more people there. And it being my home race, I personally have close to 100 people that are coming." OWard, who hails from Monterrey, Mexico, moved to the San Antonio area when he was 11, so Texas is kind of his home. "This is the closest that I have to home, and it really is, but I don't necessarily think it's because it's close to Mexico, but just because this is where I see a lot of the people that remind me of home the language and a lot of friends and family are coming this weekend," OWard said. INDYCAR rookie Mick Schumachers family has a horse ranch in Texas, so he has spent some time in the state as well. Are There Any Rangers Or Cowboys Coming? With the Rangers in spring training and the Cowboys out of season, it is still to be determined if any active players are there. Rangers great Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez and Cowboys great DeMarcus Ware will give the command to start engines for Sunday's race.

Its been a wild week in MMA, with the fallout of the UFCs White House card announcement, Jon Jones asking for his outright release from the promotion, and Ronda Rousey going scorched earth on fighter pay in her first press conference with MVP.Yet while the landscape smolders around him, Kevin Vallejos might be the happiest fellow alive. This weekend, when he takes on Josh Emmett at the Meta Apex in Las Vegas, he is the featured attraction. At just 24 years old, he gets a weekend in the sport he loves in which all eyes will be on him. If there is such a thing as a pinch-yourself moment in a fighters career, Vallejos is having it right now.Think about this, the young Argentine fighter told Uncrowned. You cant imagine how happy I was just to be on a main card when I actually made my debut. Now imagine how does it feel to be not just in a main card, but a main event.He says this through a translator, Fabiano Buskei, and even that luxury feels like first-class treatment.To be 24 years old, after only my third fight, I'm already in a main event and have my name and my face on a poster. Im excited. Im happy, not just for myself, but for my family, because theyve been behind me all along. So very excited, very happy with the opportunity that was given.To be so excited to stand in the way of one of the hardest punching featherweights is perhaps what makes El Chino unique. He delights at the idea of stepping onto a minefield because, then again, Vallejos has proven plenty explosive himself in his early career. In his second chance on the Contender Series, he smoked Alabaman Cam Teague with a barrage of punches to announce his arrival, and he put away Seung Woo Choi in the first round with a crashing right hand.Kevin Vallejos raises his hands after knocking out Giga Chikadze in a featherweight bout during a UFC Fight Night event at UFC APEX on Dec. 13, 2025, in Las Vegas. (Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC)Jeff Bottari via Getty ImagesYet it was the spinning backfist he landed on veteran Giga Chikadze in his last fight that perhaps boosted his stock from being a blue-chip prospect into becoming something closer to a contender at 145 pounds. That showing alone was enough for the UFC to level him up for a clash with Emmett, the kind of challenge Vallejos says hes been building toward.I feel that I am right where I need to be, right where I deserve to be, he says. If you think about it, if we were talking about fast tracking or things happening too fast, it would've been if I had beaten Jean Silva and then I wouldve been in the UFC. And I don't know what would've happened if I had won that fight, and if I would be the fighter that I am right now.That fight, which was Vallejos first real spotlight with the UFC, came on the same Contender Series a year before he broke through. Jean Silva, who has emerged as a powerhouse in the featherweight ranks, dealt Vallejos his first (and only) professional loss, winning the fight on the scorecards.If you think about it, obviously it was a very, very close decision there, but if I had won that fight, maybe I would've never learned, Vallejos says. So Ive taken that and to become the fighter I am today, and I do feel that things are in a time of God and I think theyre correct timing.Timing is everything in a sport where fates are sometimes determined in centimeters. It wasnt so long ago that Emmett, riding a five-fight win streak of his own, stepped in against Yair Rodrigues for the interim featherweight title. A couple of his shots narrowly missed Rodrigues chin in the first round of the fight, each which couldve steered history a different way. In the end, Emmett suffered a second-round submission loss. Since that time hes gone 1-3, with his lone victory a very loud knockout of Bryce Mitchell in December 2023 around the same time Vallejos lost to Silva.Just like with last weeks fight between Raul Rosas Jr. and Rob Font at UFC 326, Emmett is a whopping 17 years older that Vallejos, meaning the experience factor comes into play. Theres a wiliness to Emmett that Vallejos points out, but really it all comes down to one thing.Power, he says. That knockout power. Hes someone who can finish a fight, that can knock people out. Im ready for it, but it's going to be a war. It could be a five-round fight. We know that no one has actually knocked him out cold, so this is going to be a war. There's going to be blood. There's going to be a lot of punches and there's going to be a lot of action as well. And that bonus, we're going to get that one.Nobody is happier than Kevin Vallejos, who started training at 16 years old and who talks about bloody upcoming wars the way common folk discuss the emergence of spring. As a native of Buenos Aires, he represents a country that idolizes its UFC stars. Back in 2018, when the UFC visited Buenos Aires for the first time, Argentinas Santiago Ponzinibbio headlined the card against Neil Magny and sent the country into raptures when he face-planted the visitor midway through the fourth round.Vallejos remembers it well.And some of that love now extends to him, especially as he goes about making a name for himself at such a young age.Im very proud to represent the country, to actually carry that flag, he says. I know that at one point it was Santiago. And now there's so many more of us now. I can see it. I live there, so I feel it. There's a difference, not just the way that it's being watched, the way it's being followed, but also in the promotion of fighters and the way that things go about MMA. Theres also the recognition.I mean, the recognition has improved a lot as well. Were not at the level of the United States, we know there's a lot more to be done, but I think we're in a good way. We're in a good place. We've been doing some good things towards achieving that level.If those vibes continue this weekend, Vallejos may not stop smiling until International Fight Week in July.
