Karnataka Sports Hostel Dismisses 31 Athletes
Imagine a school for kids who are also athletes.
Some of these kids were told they can't stay at the school anymore because they weren't doing well enough in their sport.
This happened to 31 athletes in Bengaluru, and many of them are from a place called Kodagu where sports are very important.
These students now have to find a new place to live and pay for their food and other things, which could be hard for them.
Some people are worried about how the school decided who to kick out and hope things get better for the athletes.

The students now face finding new accommodation and managing expenses.
