Khelo India Games Create A Big Sports Community, Says Tokyo Olympian Varun Thakkar
The 2018 Asian Games bronze medallist also enthusiastically reacted on every pass and penalty corner as he witnessed the men’s hockey final where Odisha beat Madhya Pradesh 4-0 at the Mayor Radhakrishnan Stadium. “I think the Khelo India Youth Games is a huge steppingstone for budding athletes. It gives a lot of opportunities for scouts to see young talents play at such a high level,” mentioned Varun.
Varun paired up with KC Ganapathy to represent Team India at the Skiff – 49er Event in Sailing at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. The duo also finished 5th with 48 net points in the men’s skiff 49er event at the Hangzhou Asian Games, held last year. “I would say this is a great initiative by the Sports Ministry and the Sports Authority of India. And I also congratulate the Tamil Nadu Government for such a superb organisation of the games. It was very nice to witness the wrestling and hockey action. The energy level and excitement of these athletes is tremendous,” Varun added.
