Last update: 4 hours agoCommonwealth Games (Glasgow) — Tuvalu makes history: Boxer Tarona Taafaki won Tuvalu’s first-ever Commonwealth Games medal in the women’s 75kg, despite losing her only bout to India’s Lovlina Borgohain on unanimous judges’ cards. With just five entrants, she received a bye straight to the semi-finals, and under boxing rules both losing semi-finalists take bronze—so Tuvalu celebrated a podium moment without a win in the ring. Her coach and father Badi Taafaki said the medal will be used to spotlight Tuvalu’s climate emergency, as athletes train on the island’s airport runway. Commonwealth Games (Glasgow) — Tuvalu’s medal confirmed as Lovlina advances: Lovlina Borgohain stormed into the final after beating Taafaki 5-0, setting up a title clash against Australia’s Emma-Sue Greentree. US visas — Visa bond programme goes permanent: The US State Department has made its visa bond policy permanent for business and tourism applicants from 50 countries, with deposits up to $20,000 and Cuba still included; the rule takes effect Monday after a year-long pilot.
