Pond sunday

Khelo India Winter Games: Ladakh ran out of luck as ITBP women reclaimed the Khelo India Winter Games ice-hockey gold at the Nawang Dorjay Stobdan (NDS) Stadium on Sunday evening.

In a thrilling match, ITBP scored in the opening seconds of extra time after regulation time ended 1-1.

There was a small consolation for the hosts on the penultimate day of the 6th Khelo India Winter Games. Ladakh’s men redeemed themselves by winning the men’s ice-hockey bronze after a dramatic Saturday when unfancied Chandigarh stunned the home team 3-2 in the men’s ice-hockey semifinals. But on Sunday, Ladakh men looked more purposeful, carving out a fighting 3-2 win for a podium finish. Ladakh had beaten ITBP 3-1 in the league stage as well.
