The Story in Brief
Telangana’s Shivani Karra won gold in the girls 400m freestyle at the 42nd Sub-junior National Aquatics Championship in Jaipur on Saturday. She clocked 4:38.47 seconds, ahead of Kerala’s Indraany M Memon (4:40.18) and Karnataka’s Idika Bhat (4:49.57), who took silver and bronze respectively.
Shivani is a product of the Sports Authority of Telangana (SATG) and trains at the Gachibowli Aquatics Complex under head coach Ayush Yadav, telanganatoday.com reports.
The Indian Opinion
A sub-junior national gold is a proud moment for Telangana swimming, but it is too early to hail Shivani as a future Olympic hope. Indian swimmers often peak at junior level and fade in senior ranks. The real test is her transition to tougher meets and faster timings. Will she shave seconds off her 400m free at the next nationals? That number will tell us more.
