Neeraj Chopra showed the way with his Olympic and World Championship Golds, now there is a group of Indian spear throwers who feel that they can also reach a big stage. And the group appears to be big and big.
Sachin Yadav is one of them. The 25 -year -old person from Uttar Pradesh won a golden best 84.39 meters at a distance of more than two meters at the 38th National Games at the Ganga Stadium on Wednesday. With this, he climbed the fifth roong in India’s all -time list at the event.
Still, Sachin was a bit disappointed.
Sachin said, “My goal was to achieve the World Championship Automatic Qualification Mark (85.50 m), but I remembered it.” “I’m close to it and I should be able to get it in my next competition.”
Long and well built, Sachin appeared pumped today. And with his state’s partner Rohit Yadav, the gold battle was intense, ignoring two 80 meters throw. Finally, Sachin’s fifth round gave him the title by beating Rohit.
At the other end, defending high jump champion Pooja was in his own world. While the rest of the grounds got away at a distance of 1.79 meters, the 17 -year -old Haryana made Swapna Burman’s three -year -old sports record better, cleaned 1.84 meters, and then tried 1.87, but all of him. Three attempts failed.
“I was the best junior high jumper in the country, now I want to be the best among seniors as well. I wanted to do 1.87 but today my health was not very good, ”said Pooja.
“My next goal is 1.90 and I will do it this year.”
Meanwhile, the Asian Games Bronze medal Vithiya Ramraj lived till his billing by winning the 400 meter hurdles of women. 25 -year -old Tamil Nadu said, “I am happy with sleeping but not with time, this competition is very early in the season.”
Another record was seen falling in the last day of the Games athletics competition. Sawan Barwal of Himachal Pradesh, who improved a record of 10,000 meters in the morning, lived. Laxmanan broke Laxmanan’s 5000 meter game record comfortably.
