Dear friend Dr. Janghu, an academician like you is not supposed to spread wrong information. Here are all wrestlers who won medals in Asian Games. Please tell where is Lila Ram Pehlwan in these? In fact, in 1951 Delhi Asian Games, there was no event of wrestling. I would also like to add that leave the world aside, we are no where in Asia also in wrestling. Japan, Iran, South Korea, Kazakhstan etc. are far ahead than us, specially Japan and Iran.

Boxer Pooja Rani proves her father wrong

Amaninder Pal Sharma,TNN | May 25, 2014, 12.25AM IST

PATIALA: A 23-year-old Haryana girl, whose punches took more than six months to convince her parents that she was made for boxing, will represent India at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games in Scotland. She will contest in the 75 kg category.*

Pooja Rani, who comes from the sport's cradle, Bhiwani, made her entry into the three-member Indian women's boxing team after winning her final bout at the trials on Friday.*

Mindful of her father's dislike for boxing, Pooja recalled how she would conceal the bruises and injuries suffered in the ring from her parents.*

"My parents were dead against my plans of making a career out of boxing. My father would say, "Acche bache boxing nahin khelte (good children don't play boxing)". Such was the situation that I feared my father would stop me from going to the boxing ring if he saw my injuries. So I would conceal my injuries from him as well as my mother," Pooja said.*

However, things improved at her home after she won silver in the National Youth Boxing Championship in 2009 in the 60 kg category. Two months after her first win, she defeated one of Haryana women's boxing's leading lights, Preeti Beniwal, in the state championships.*

"Nobody objected after that win," Pooja recalled. "All my family members became supportive," added the 23-year-old, who is now serving as an Income Tax inspector in the Haryana government.*

To her credit, after her initial struggle, Pooja won silver in the Asian Boxing Championship in 2012 and added another silver at the Arafura Games held in Australia the same year.
 
Kudos!! to all those who have made the Nation proud. Those who fell short need more hard in days to come. India govt. should sincerely look into sports and provide a world class infrastructure to improve its ranking in such events. Care should be taken not to politicize sports bodies, till now its other way around.
 
RARE BRONZE BY ANNU

INCHEON: Indian athlete Annu Rani a Jat from village Bahadarpur, district Meerut, West UP, won a bronze medal in the women's Javelin throw event of the Asian Games, with a personal best effort of 59.53m, here on Wednesday. Annu achieved the mark in her first attempt as she led the field for a while before being overtaken by China’s Li Zhang and Lingwei Li, who won gold and silver.

Annu’s first attempt proved to be her best as her later attempts were far below than the first. However, she bettered her own record of 58.83m, which she had set in June this year during the National championship in Lucknow. Zhang Li set the Asian Games record with her best throw of 65.47, which she achieved in her sixth and final attempt. The Chinese bettered the Games 61.56m mark, set by Japan's Yuki Ebihara at the 2010 Guangzhou Games. Ebihara (58.72) finished fourth behind Annu.

GOLD FOR INDIA!

Men's kabaddi team bags 7th successive Asiad gold

INCHEON: Defending champions India staged a late comeback to edge Iran 27-25 in the men's kabaddi final to retain their gold medal at the 17th Asian Games here Friday.

The Iranian team rode on its athleticism, speed and agility to give a scare to the much-vaunted Indian team, who were complacent for the most part of the match at the Songdo Global University Gymnasium.

But the Indians utilised their experience and kept calm to give the country its 11th yellow metal in the Incheon Asiad, moving up to sixth place in the standings.
