Winning two gold medals is indeed encouraging in such national level tournaments.While he won the medals in 4X100 and 4X400 relay, he said the Tamil Nadu team was one of the toughest in the tournament. But with 6 months of training, I could come close to the winners which was a real encouragement in the tournament, he said.The team representing Tamil Nadu bagged the overall championship with a total 28 medals including 14 gold, 5 silver and 9 bronze medals. This includes the best athlete award in male and female category. It took six months of training as it is all about endurance, speed and technique.I came 5th in the 100-metres by competing with athletes who have been practising for the past 20 years. We could win 4X100 with ease but 4X400 was a bit tough, but we managed to pull it off.Known for his fitness, the deputy commissioner said that he works out in gym regularly, but sprint is entirely different where fitness alone would not work..
