The story so far
JammuBeat reported Aekita Kapoor's day-2 gold in J&K's Aekita Kapoor Wins Girls' -68 kg Taekwondo Gold at the National School Games in Ganderbal. The Greater Kashmir report on day 4 spells her name “Aekta Kapoor”.
What's new
The day-4 programme on October 25 was held by the Directorate of Youth Services and Sports, J&K, under the School Games Federation of India (SGFI). The report states 202 bouts involving 208 participants across six weight categories; the category counts it lists add up to 207, so treat the totals as approximate.
- Girls: -38 kg, -52 kg, -63 kg
- Boys: -41 kg, -59 kg, -78 kg
J&K gold medallists named were Sarfaraaz Ahmad, Uzair Aslam, Abdul Hadi and Aekta Kapoor. Other golds went to athletes from Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, KVS, Maharashtra, CISCE, Haryana and West Bengal. The report names no silver or bronze medallists, bout scores or home districts, so we cannot say which J&K winners are from Jammu Division.
Additional Secretary Tinna Mahajan was chief guest and distributed the medals. The ceremony, the report said, “celebrated the dedication, discipline and sporting excellence of young athletes.”
