Indian Super League champions Chennaiyin FC have signed former ISL winner Baljit Sahni on a one-year deal from Atletico de Kolkata.Baljit, who hails from Hoshiarpur in Punjab and can play as a winger and a forward, played the first two ISL seasons for Atletico.He won the ISL title with Atletico in 2014, scoring two goals that season, and reached the semi-finals last year. After ISL 2015, Baljit went on loan to DSK Shivajians in the I-League and has now joined Chennaiyin on a permanent deal after the expiry of his contract at the Kolkata franchise.Baljit started his career at JCT in Punjab, where he moved up from the youth teams to the senior setup. The 29-year-old spent three seasons there, playing either as forward or winger.He became the first Indian to score a hattrick in the I-League while playing for JCT against Shillong Lajong at the start of the 2009-10 season. In 2009 he was adjudged the Best Young Player in India by other footballers of the country and also went on to represent India U-23 at the 2010 AFC Challenge Cup.Baljit earned a move to Kolkata giants East Bengal in 2010 and spent five seasons there. He won multiple trophies with East Bengal and narrowly missed out on the I-League. The three goals he scored in the 2011 AFC Cup was the highlight of his career with the club.He made 21 appearances for Atletico over the two ISL campaigns. Chennaiyin head coach Marco Materazzi said he had been following him from the first season.Baljit is a player I have admired and watched closely from the very first ISL campaign. He is already an ISL winner and his versatility will strengthen our team, Materazzi said.I had two memorable years with Kolkata but now I am looking forward to a fresh new challenge with Chennaiyin. When I heard that the legendary Materazzi is interested in me it didnt take long for me to decide that I would join his team. Chennaiyin has been the most consistent team in the ISL so far and they have a very settled side. So I have to work very hard to get into the first eleven but this is the kind of test you want as a player and my goal will be to help Chennaiyin retain the championship, Sahni said.

The last time Los Angeles hosted an Olympics, the city won the games largely because it promised to do them on the cheap.The 1984 Games were a success, even with the Soviet Union and others boycotting. Peter Ueberroth and his team delivered on their promise of bare-bones games, and 32 years later the surplus keeps paying dividends for Southern California sports through the well-funded LA84 Foundation.Now Los Angeles wants to do it again. And the playbook looks strikingly familiar.The citys plan to host the 2024 Olympics is audacious not -- like most Olympic bids -- because of the grandeur and spectacle it promises. Rather its because it promises to do something most Olympic cities have failed to do in the modern era -- deliver a decent Olympics while sticking to a reasonable budget.If Los Angeles gets the nod, organizers promise this would be an Olympics done on budget and with little building necessary. It would cost just $5.3 billion, a fraction of the $20 billion Tokyo organizers want to spend on the 2020 Games.Of course, its all promises and glitzy presentations now. And the latest plan unveiled last week to put on an Olympics without huge cost overruns is as much a strategy for beating Paris out for the 2024 Olympics as it is for putting on the actual games themselves.But LA has done it before, and done it well, turning a profit in 1984 when it was said that couldnt be done. And there are some smart people behind it, including the citys mayor and Casey Wasserman, an entertainment and sports industry figure who is active in all the right circles in Southern California.More important, it might be coming at just the right time, when the International Olympic Committee is looking to reign in some of the excesses of the games. On the same day Los Angeles unveiled the latest version of its plan last week, an IOC vice president warned Tokyo organizers that a $20 billion plan for the 2020 Olympics was unacceptable.If LA is chosen to host the 2024 Games, the IOC does not have to worry about changing or evolving budgets, shifting competition venues or uncertainty about the delivery of the games, said Wasserman, the LA 2024 chairman.To prove the point, LA24 submitted its budget to the accounting firm KPMG for evaluation. The accountants declared the plan reasonable with the important caveat that any changes to the budget after this date are outside thee scope of this project.ddddddddddddSecurity is also outside the scope of the project. It will be hugely expensive, though organizers believe the federal government will pick up the tab as it did for the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.Promises are easier broken than kept, but Los Angeles has some things going for it. The biggest is that the LA metropolitan area already has almost all the sports facilities to host an Olympics, though Paris also plans to use mostly existing facilities.Still, what better place to center the Olympics than the LA Coliseum, a beautiful and historic stadium built for the 1932 Games and used again in 1984.Soccer would be in the iconic Rose Bowl, and basketball at Staples Center, home of the Lakers and Clippers.Swimming would be one of the few things needed to be built, and it would be a temporary open air facility on the USC campus that would be torn down after the games were over.Best of all, perhaps, is that theres already an athletes village. The plan is to use student housing at UCLA to house the worlds best athletes, and if dorm rooms dont sound that great they will certainly be an upgrade on the accommodations in Rio.Not to worry, there are also plenty of Beverly Hills mansions and ritzy hotels to house even the pickiest member of the U.S. basketball team.Why any city would want an Olympics in an era of bloated competitions and suspect athletes might be the one question LA residents should be asking. The people of Boston, you might remember, rose in rebellion last year and quashed that citys bid for the games.Its basically between Paris and Los Angeles (Budapest is not thought to be a winnable bid, and Rome recently dropped out) when IOC members meet next year to decide the site of the 2024 Games. Paris is thought to be the front-runner but with politics involved -- the presidency of Donald Trump is a wild card -- and the usual intrigue and shenanigans that go with a bid, its anyones guess what city will win.But LA has a plan, and its similar to one that worked before.Right now, a third Olympics in Los Angeles doesnt sound so bad at all.----Tim Dahlberg is a national sports columnist for The Associated Press.
