Indu beat Evin Demirhan of Turkey 3-1 in a closely contested repechage round bout to open India’s account in the tournament.

And then came the wreck at Auto Club Speedway as he battled Joey Logano for the lead on the final lap.

Dr. Shigeru Omi, Japan’s top medical adviser, said hosting the Olympics during a pandemic is “abnormal” as many of the country’s citizens oppose holding the games. Japanese newspapers such as the Asahi Shimbu, the nation’s second largest paper, are expressing support for the games’ cancellation. However, that decision is up to the International Olympic Committee (IOC). “Based on what I am hearing, people within the government have been given their instructions to make the games happen, and that is their singular focus right now — for better or for worse....

Justified, the adaptation of famed crime writer Elmore Leonard’s Raylan Givens stories, saw Givens reassigned home to the coal country of the fictional Harlan County, Kentucky, from a swank gig as a US Marshal operating out of the far more glamorous Miami, Florida.

Superior Court Judge Michael Levanas will hear arguments from attorneys representing each of the co-owners, Donald and Shelly Sterling, a week after he suggested in comments to the court that the terms alone seemed so unambiguous and clear that “I could decide this case in five minutes.” In May, two doctors who examined the 80-year-old Sterling declared he was mentally incapacitated and unable to act as an administrator of The Sterling Family Trust, which owns the Clippers....

They are the oddest people left in the case, for, if they’ve followed the orders of Judge Lance Ito, they don’t know what the general public does. They missed Rosa Lopez’s antics, they didn’t hear the unexpurgated Fuhrman tapes and they didn’t have the benefit of 12 months of Geraldo Rivera’s commentary. All they know, supposedly, about who killed Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman one night in June 1994 is what they heard in the courtroom....
