Taekwondo tourney begins
For the promotion of Khelo India, a Taekwondo competition was organized at Atal Sports Complex on Sunday. The competition was inaugurated by Rajendra Rathore and Virendra Pawar. On this occasion, Bharat Deshmukh and Suresh Lunia were also present. Himanshu Khatri conducted the programme while Amit Parihar proposed a vote of thanks.
Talking about Khelo India Youth Games, Arunachal's young weightlifter Markio Tario Rughu has become its legend.
Ready to make a fourth appearance in the 67 KG weight category in the Khelo India Youth Games, Markio is physically and mentally prepared for the challenge and will aim to better his own record while also repeating his success from the Guwahati edition.
Markio had participated in the Asian Weightlifting Championships held in Bahrain in October last year, where amongst nine participants he finished sixth. Markio, who then had made an appearance in an international platform for the first time, felt overwhelmed amongst big players but since then he has been worked on his mental strength and has overcome this issue.
"I was a little scared there. I lifted 123 kg in snatch and 158 kg in clean and jerk but I could have done better. Coming from there, I worked on that weakness and have recovered from it," said Markio. Now I will not be nervous on any platform.
Youth and junior national champion Markio said, "My future target is to participate in Commonwealth Games and Asian Games and win medals for the country. After that I will aim for Olympics. I want to inspire many like me to come forward and take up my sport."
