Bengaluru: Tired dikh rahe Akash Mani Sunday ko Nettakalappa Swimming Competition ke third edition me ak aur gold medal jeetne ki hope me do dino me apni 4 races me se last race ke liye taiyar ho gaye.
18 saal ke Basavanagudi Aquatic Centre ke swimmer ne pahle hi 3 baar first place grab kar liya tha (100m freestyle, 100m backstroke aur SKINS 50m backstroke) but men’s open SKINS 50m freestyle event me unka gold medal sone pe suhaga saabit hua.
Halanki, Akash ko Lakshya Academy of Sports ke Chinthan S Shetty se tough challenge mila, jinhone bhi kai medals jeete, lekin unhone 24.25 second ka time lekar event ke sabse fast swimmer ban ke ubhre. Chinthan (24.48s) second place par rahe, jabki Jain University ke Xavier D’Souza (24.88s) third place par rahe.
Halanki, iss din ka spotlight iss saal Paris Games me India ki sabse kam age ki Olympian Dhinidhi Desinghu rahi. Dolphin Aquatics ko represent karne wali 14 saal ki iss player ko apne competitors se bahot kam resistance face karna pada, kyunki wah girls’ Group II section me 200m individual medley aur 100m freestyle races me podium par top par rahi.
“Haan, ye off-season hai, but main next year bhi apne momentum ko banaye rakhne ke liye swimming ke apke current level ko check karna chahti thi,” Dhinidhi ne kaha. “Iske alawa, ye mere liye apni learnings ko use karne ki ak opportunity thi. Main SKINS event me participate nahi kar saki kyuki keval Group I aur usse upar ke swimmers ko hi allow kiya jata hai. But, main next year wapas aane aur iss competition ke sabse fun formats me se ak me tairne ka wait nahi kar sakta, jiske liye ye competition sabse jada jaani jati hai.”
Iss din boys ke Group II section (12-14 years) me Akshaj Thakuria ne pool me apna dominance banaya, jisme most races me maximum number of participants the. Akshaj ne 3 gold medals jeete- 200m Medley, 100m Medley aur 200m freestyle event.
