Khelo India School Games: Day 3 round up
Nisar Ahmed of Delhi who skipped his training trip to Jamaica for the time being to take part in the Khelo India School Games grabbed the limelight as he won the Gold medal in the 100m category quite comfortably. The sprinter was so involved with his game that he ran the course of the race twice in a span of 20 minutes because he was unable to hear the recall whistle following a false whistle following a false start initially. It was a memorable moment for the promising athlete as he received the medal from the Minister of Youth Affairs and Colonel Rathore. Â 'I want to use this scholarship to explode the myth that Indians cannot run below 10 seconds. I had to delay my trip to Jamaica and it affected my training and I will now leave tomorrow. But I am comfortable and I am happy I was able to compete and win. The first time I was so focused that I did not hear the recall whistle,' said an overjoyed Nisar following his incredible feat. 
Uttarakhand's Anu Kumar also performed extraordinarily in the event as he became the first Boys' individual double gold Medallist winning the 800m gold on Friday, adding a feather to cap to his first-place finish in the 1500m category earlier in the tournament. In the course of his win, he created a personal best of 1:52:08, beating the previous of 1:53:59 which was clocked during his Silver medal win at the World School Games in France. Anu Kumar was very satisfied with the win and expressed that if he gets the scholarship, he will use it to achieve bigger landmarks in the future. ' I will utilise the scholarship, if I get it, to become India's first athletic Olympic medalist with a world record,' confirming that the athletes are all excited about the scholarships that are coming their way,' said the gold medallist.

Tamil Nadu's Ajenci Susan finished behind her with the Silver medal while Uttar Pradesh's Nikita Verma was had to be content with the Bronze medal.
