Boxing: 4 Indians win gold at the Women's Youth and Junior World Championships
As I have been posting for the past few days, India is participating in the Women's Youth and Junior World Championships in Antalya, Turkey. India sent a total of sixteen participants in different weight classes from which four won the gold, one participant won the silver, and two won the bronze.
Judging by the results over the last couple of years of Indians winning medals and accolades in combat sports, it is quite obvious that for what ever reason we are good at it. Is it because the combat sports are provided with good coaches and facilities? Is it because of the fact that Indians are genetically made for combat sports? Or is it because of a combination of the both?
Here is a list of all the participants:
Youth Women's World Championship:
1) S. Sarjubala Devi (Gold)
2) Sanasri Brahma
3) Pwilao Basumatary (Bronze)
4) Anjali Machahari
5) Poonam Chahal (Bronze)
6) Minu Basumatary (Gold)
7) Heena Tokas
8) Alary Bord
Juniors Women's World Championship:
1) Lalenkawli (Gold)
2) Chanchan Devi
3) Nikhat Zareen (Gold)
4) Lalfakzuali (Silver)
5) Pinki Kachari
6) Neeraj Bala
7) Marathamma
8) Laxmi Wagh
Tennis: Vishnu Vardhan hurts himself during the finals
In the Chennai Futures tournament final Vishnu Vardhan faced off against Patrik Rosenholm of Sweden. During the match, Vishnu hurt either a muscle or joints in his leg and was unable to continue the match. He had to withdraw from the final and declare Patrik Rosenholm as the winner.
Due to his appearance in the finals, Vishnu has gained 10 ATP ranking points and this will aid him to be around the world ranking of 300. Hopefully his injury isn't too serious, if it is serious it will be tough for him play well in the next couple of months during which he has important ranking points to defend from last year.
