2024 Paris Olympics mein youngest Indian athlete Dhinidhi Desinghu ko Tuesday ko Delhi mein huye School Nationals ke dauran U-17 girls 50m freestyle swimming event mein Charita Phanindranath ne hara diya.
Desinghu ne 27.05 seconds ka time nikal kar silver medal jeeta, jo Charita ke 27.02 seconds se sirf 0.03 seconds peeche tha. Yeh result kaafi shocking raha.
School Games Federation of India ke dwara organized School Nationals mein school mein padhne wale athletes ek-dusre ke against compete karte hain.
Competition mein Desinghu ne Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan ko represent kiya, jabki Charita Karnataka ki taraf se kheli.
Dilchasp baat yeh hai ki Desinghu last ek month se bhi kam time mein domestic circuit par harayi jaane wali second Indian Olympian nahi hain. 2025 Khelo India University Games mein, double Olympian Srihari Nataraj ko last month men’s 50m butterfly event mein hara diya gaya tha.
Us race mein Nataraj ne 25.30 seconds ka time nikala aur Harsh Saroha ke peeche second position par finish kiya tha.
