Sathiyan Gnanasekaran credits National Games for his ascendancy

The versatile paddler credited the National Games for his ascendancy in the sport. The Tamil Nadu-based player played in the 2015 edition and said the Games were a great platform for athletes. He said: "The National Games gave me a great platform in 2015, to know where I stood. When you compete in a multisport event, it’s a very different ball game. You learn a lot of things and they help us in bigger events like the Commonwealth Games, Asian Games, and the Olympics. For youngsters, it is a great platform to test their skills and test themselves under pressure.” Also read: "I was very upset after CWG, it was not the end and I will keep working on my game" - Manika Batra keen to make amends at National Games 2022 In 2015, Sathiyan Gnanasekaran was a part of the Tamil Nadu men’s team that won the gold medal. Tamil Nadu did not qualify for the eight-team event in the ongoing edition and the paddler said a potentially great clash against hosts Gujarat was missed.

He concluded:“It is not going to be easy here as I am playing singles directly. But I have two days to get used to the conditions. I will practise a little bit and play my best in the Games.” Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by Puranjay × Feedback Thank You!
