2024 Chess Olympiad Gold Medal ‘settled The Score’ Of 2022 Heartbreak: Tania Sachdev
NDTV World Summit: Despite a spirited performance by the women’s team in the 2022 Chess Olympiad in Chennai, which saw India win its first medal in the event, the team ultimately lost out on the gold medal. Seasoned woman player, Tania Sachdev believes their historic performance in 2024 has ‘settled the score’ of the previous edition.
“It was very difficult in 2022 as even though we had secured a historic bronze for the women’s team, we had not won a medal before, it felt as though the gold was snatched from us. Getting back on the team in 2024, I had made peace with the Chennai Olympiad that maybe that was my only chance, but when I got into the team and had a feeling that there was a reason why this has happened, it’s been a long journey and what had happened in 2022, it was time to settle the score,” Tania told IANS.
In the women's section, the Indian team of D. Harika, R. Vaishali, Divya Deshmukh, Tania Sachdev and Vantika Agrawal came back strongly from a late defeat to Poland in the eighth round to clinch the title with a victory in the final round over Azerbaijan.
