Thai women win 4x100m silver as Kunlavut reaches historic Asian Games final
Today 07:56Key points summarised by AI
Thailand's women's 4x100m relay team secured a silver medal at the Asian Games, their second consecutive silver in the event, clocking their season's best time.
Kunlavut Vitidsarn made history by becoming the first Thai men's singles player to reach an Asian Games badminton final, guaranteeing at least a silver medal.
Thailand also earned two bronze medals: Subenrat Insaeng in women's discus and a historic women's doubles table tennis bronze for Suthasini Sawettabut and Orawan Paranang, ending a 68-year wait for the event.
These achievements elevated Thailand's overall medal count to 29 (9 gold, 8 silver, 12 bronze), maintaining their sixth-place position in the standings.
Euro 2020 crowds driving rise in COVID-19 infections, says WHO
Today 08:07Key points summarised by AI
The World Health Organization (WHO) attributes the recent surge in European COVID-19 infections to large crowds gathering at Euro 2020 stadiums, pubs, and associated travel.
This marks the end of a 10-week decline in new cases, with a 10% increase last week, further complicated by the rapid spread of the more contagious Delta variant across the region.
Health officials express growing concern, warning of an earlier-than-anticipated autumn surge if public vigilance falters and vaccination efforts are not intensified.
