Bangkok Asian Games mei 1970 mei huye India ke men’s water polo silver medal ko 50 years ho gaye aur isi ko celebrate karne ke liye ek virtual meet bhi rakhi gait hi.
December 1970 mei, Indian men’s water polo team ne Bangkok Asian Games mei silver medal jeeta tha, Japan ko 2-4 se final mei hara kar. Internationally ye India ka water polo ka finest moment tha.
Waterpolo fraternity ne Swimming Federation of India ke saath mil kar recently hi ek zoom meet rakhi thi, is famous silver medal win ke 50 golden years celebrate karne ke liye.
FUTURE FOCUS
Mumbai ke Pradeep Divgikar, jo ki sports history aficionado aur water polo player hai, unhone is meet ko moderate kiya. The Swimming Federation of India (SFI) ke executive director Virendra Nanavati, Kamlesh Nanavati, vice-president and secretary general Monal Chokshi ne is win ko “historic and waterwashed moment” described kiya. Trio ne kaha ki ye vital tha ki water polo ke liye separate National Championship hold ki jaaye, kyu ki ise currently swimming ne overshadow kar liya hai.
MEMORIES, MOMENTS
Bharat Merchant ne victory stand par silver medal receive karte huye us goosebumpy feeling ke baare mei baat kiya, “mai tab 20 years ka tha, aur ab mai 70 ka hun, but wo cheers, national anthem ka bajna, abhi bhi mere saath hi hai,” Wadala native ne kaha. “Mujhe yaad hai jab hum podium par climb kar rahe the toh pura Indian contingent cheer kar raha tha hamare liye. Bangkok mei rahne wali Indian community ecstatic thi. Sikh supporters Gurudwara se hamare liye food laate the. Ye ghar ki tarah hi tha,’ Merchant ne kaha, emotionally ho kar. – Olympicchannel
