36 ఏళ్ల తర్వాత ప్రపంచ ఛాంపియన్షిప్లో సెమీస్ చేరిన భారతీయుడిగా రికార్డు సొంతం చేసుకున్న సాయి ప్రణీత్ ఆ ఆనందాన్ని ఎంతోసేపు నిలుపుకోలేకపోయాడు. జపాన్ క్రీడాకారుడు డిఫెండింగ్ ఛాంపియన్ కెంటో మొమోటాపై ఓడి కాంస్యంతో సరిపెట్టుకున్నాడు.

స్విట్జర్లాండ్ బాసెల్ వేదికగా జరిగిన సెమీస్లో 13-21, 8-21 తేడాతో వరుస సెట్లలో పరాజయం చవిచూశాడు ప్రణీత్. ప్రపంచ నెంబర్ వన్ మొమోటా కేవలం 41 నిమిషాల్లోనే మ్యాచ్ను ముగించాడు. అయితే ఓడినప్పటికీ కాంస్య పతకాన్ని తన ఖాతాలో వేసుకుని ప్రకాశ్ పదుకుణే సరసన చేరాడు ప్రణీత్.

తొలి సెట్లో 5-3తో శుభారంభం అందుకున్న ప్రణీత్ క్రమేపీ వెనకబడిపోయాడు. స్కోరు 11-10 వద్ద ఉండగా.. మొమోటా ప్రణీత్కు అవకాశం ఇవ్వకుండా మ్యాచ్ను సొంతం చేసుకున్నాడు. రెండో సెట్ ఆసాంతం ఆధిపత్యం చెలాయించి భారత షట్లర్ను ఓడించాడు.

(Reporter: "Comedy and the Marvel universe -- how do those two things work together?")
Bettany: "Very well in 'Guardians of the Galaxy.'"
Olsen: "Very well in 'Guardians of the Galaxy.' Very well in Marvel generally. But sitcoms on the other hand -- we will be the first."
(Reporter: "When you heard sitcom meets Marvel, what about that attracted you?")
Bettany: "To do something really different and experimental and have six hours to do it -- instead of what ends up being 10 minutes if you got it altogether or something."
Olsen: "It's a brilliant concept that was born in Feige's brain. And fans of the comics will understand all of the references when they see it and they will get very excited. It's a very fun mash-up of these two characters' comic book world."
4. Medium "WandaVision" co-stars Kathryn Hahn, Randall Park and Kat Dennings on arrivals line
5. SOUNDBITE (English) Kathryn Hahn, Randall Park, Kat Dennings, actors:
Hahn: "I just started getting introduced to them I will move through my children and so -- but I find them very funny. So this is -- I don't think it's gonna be that difficult to find the humor. I think what's new about this particular show is just that it's going to feel and look so different than anything that I have seen in my rudimentary homework of the Marvel Universe."

Stan: "Yes."
Mackie: "See what I'm saying."
Stan: "And if it's a nice summer breeze ..."

I think she's awesome and I can't wait to continue on that journey. We just kind of scratch the surface in the film. So this is like an opportunity to really like delve into it and see what she's been up to this whole time. I mean she's been on the run for a minute so."
Russell: "I'm excited to see where it goes. I don't know much about my character. I know his name is John Walker. Other than that, I don't know. So I'm excited to start working, read the scripts and figure it out."
10. Various attendees at D23 Expo inside convention center
STORYLINE:
'WANDAVISION' IS MARVEL'S FIRST SITCOM
"WandaVision" is Marvel's first sitcom featuring superheroes.
The limited series will hit Disney's upcoming streaming service, Disney+ and stars Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany, who appeared as Scarlet Witch and Vision in the "Avengers" movies.
"It's a brilliant concept that was born in (Marvel Studios President Kevin) Feige's brain. And fans of the comics will understand all of the references when they see it and they will get very excited. It's a very fun mash-up of these two characters' comic book worlds," Olsen said Friday (23 AUGUST) at Disney's D23 Expo in Anaheim, California.
"To do something really different and experimental and have six hours to do it -- instead of what ends up being 10 minutes if you got it altogether or something," Bettany said.
Also coming to Disney+ -- "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier," starring Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan, reprising those roles from the "Avengers" and "Captain America" films. Emily VanCamp will join them. She plays Sharon Carter in Marvel's cinematic universe.
"I mean it's awesome. It's so much fun. These movies are incredible. I mean they just haven't had -- they haven't made a bad film, I don't think," she said. "And I love playing Sharon. I think she's awesome and I can't wait to continue on that journey. We just kind of scratch the surface in the film. So this is like an opportunity to really like delve into it and see what she's been up to this whole time. I mean she's been on the run for a minute so."
