Likith is the hero, emerges with a three-gold haul
Karnataka jumped to the top of the medals table in swimming with five gold medals on the day thanks mainly to the heroics of S.P. Likith, who had his hand on three of them, in the Khelo India Youth Games at the Bakwa-di Sports Complex here on Monday.
It was some sight, as Li-kith literally jumped out of the pool and ran to grab his clothes and shoes, after winning the 50m freestyle in the under-21 men's section. It was as if he not only wanted to be the fastest swimmer of the meet, with his time of 24.I5seconds, as he beat Xa-vier D'Souza of Goa, by 0.2 seconds, but also wanted to be the fastest over that distance!
