Of 4 national record broken, 3 have been from Tamil Nadu

Sambo Lapung had missed his date with the record in the National Championships in Bhubaneswar earlier this year when the judges ruled his attempt as a No-Lift. But today, there was no stopping him from regaining the mark from Vikas Thakur (Services).

The Arunachal star joined woman Pole Vaulter Rosy Meena Paulraj (Tamil Nadu) and fellow weightlifter N Ajith (Tamil Nadu) as the athletes who have lit up the National Games by breaking National records.

Arunachal Pradesh has accounted for the only other NR to have fallen.
