After 8 Golds And A Silver At KITG 2026, Karnataka Swimmer Manikanta L Aims For Asiad Qualification
The 21-year-old shone at the first Khelo India Tribal Games in Raipur, aiming for nine gold medals in four days. He ultimately secured eight golds and one silver. The real challenge for Manikanta was switching between the pool and the victory podium after each race, which involved constantly changing clothes and mentally preparing himself for the next event.
Manikanta, a breaststroke specialist, decided to challenge himself by competing in all four swimming styles, breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly, and freestyle, and aim for as many gold medals as he could for his state.
