Mail This Article
Sajan Prakash added a fourth medal to his kitty by bagging silver in the men's 200 m medley at the 38th National Games at Haldwani in Uttarakhand on Monday.
The Kerala swimmer clocked 2:08.17 to finish second behind Shoan Ganguly of Karnataka (2:06.61). Aryan Nehra of Gujarat took bronze in the event, clocking 2:09.68.
The top-two in the 200 m medley was a reversal of the outcome from the previous National Games held in Goa in 2023. Sajan had clinched gold then with a Meet Record of 2:04.57, while Ganguly settled for silver.
In the Uttarakhand Games, Sajan claimed a gold and two bronze medals earlier, making him the most successful Kerala athlete. This is the 31-year-old's fifth National Games, and he has secured a total of 30 medals so far. He famously bagged four six gold medals during the 2015 National Games that Kerala hosted.
Kerala has bagged six medals from aquatics at the ongoing Games, with Harshitha Jayaram taking two gold in 50m and 200m breaststroke.
