Karnataka ke Renukacharya Hodmani and Maharashtra ki Diksha Yadav ne Wednesday ko Arabian Sea me held 10km open events me respectively men’s and women’s me gold medal jeeta.
Last kuchh years me Khelo India Youth Games and University Games ke dauran bhi dono states ne swimming me apna dominance dikhaya hai. Inauguration KIBG me bhi similar trend dekhne ko mila.
Gold medal-winner 17 years ki Renukacharya ne saath saal ki age me swimming start ki thi, lekin 3 saal pahle hi unhone open water me kadam rakha.
Ak press release ke according, Karnataka ke swimmer ne 10km swimming ke baad kaha, “Mujhe khushi hai ki waves friendly thi aur yhan tairna achha tha.”
Normal swimming and open events ke beech difference ke baare me baat karte huye unhone kaha, “Hum pool me paani ko clearly dekh sakte hain lekin open water me humein saamne dekhna padta hai, lekin ye thik hai. Ak chhote se pool me tairna aur yhan khule me aana exciting raha hai.
Diksha bhi bahot kam time me open competitive swimming me hain. 19 years ki Maharashtra ki iss ladki ne bataya, “open swimming me ye mera second year hai aur mujhe bahot maja aaya.” “Arabian Sea me tairna majedar tha, lekin kuchh moments aise bhi aaye jab aane wali waves ke karan mera vision obstruct ho gaya. Iske alawa jellyfish stings bhi lage! Main Khelo India Beach Games se bahot achhe experiences le rahi hun.” Diksha ne 2 hours 18 minutes and 9 seconds ka time lekar top place secure kiya.
