Asian Games 2026: No Breakfast, No Buses, No Easy Start For India | First Sports With Rupha Ramani
The Asian Games haven't even kicked off properly and athletes are already facing problems they shouldn't be dealing with. No breakfast, buses running late, issues with registration and where to stay. For India, it's been a frustrating start in Japan. The bigger question is whether the organisers can fix this gap between what they planned and what's actually happening on the ground before the medals come in. Rupha Ramani looks at what's going wrong behind the scenes in Aichi-Nagoya.Meanwhile, India are defending both their Chess Olympiad titles, but the men's team going to Samarkand looks very different from 2024. This time Praggnanandhaa is leading the boards, Arjun Erigaisi and Nihal Sarin bring real depth, and world champion D Gukesh is on Board 4 after a tough year. With his world title defence against Javokhir Sindarov coming up, can the team's strength help Gukesh find his rhythm again? Rupha Ramani breaks down India's title defence and what this means for Gukesh.
And also on the show is another football controversy. Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr and Ibrahima Konate have found themselves in a debate that's much bigger than one T-shirt. After the three of them covered up a solidarity message for Ceuta, the conversation quickly moved to where football draws the line between sport, politics and personal choice. Mbappe has now explained his decision and that has brought in migration, identity and whether an athlete has the right to say no. Rupha Ramani looks at the Ceuta controversy and the question behind it.
