Ace Indian swimmer Srihari Nataraj dazzled on the opening day of the 11th Asian Aquatics Championships, clinching the 200m freestyle silver medal in the elite continental competition in over 16 years, in Ahmedabad on Sunday.
Karnataka swimming coach Nihar Ameen hit out at the organisers of the 34th National Games, saying top athletes were missing due to the wrong timing of the multi-sporting event following several postponements.
23-year-old Srihari Nataraj is ready for his second Olympics, where he will compete in the 100m backstroke event.
Only the fourth Indian to clinch a swimming medal in the Asian Games, Sandeep Sejwal said his bronze in the 50m breaststroke event is a dream realised after eight years of hard work with his coach Nihar Ameen.
