  National Games: Odisha gymnastic ace Rakesh wins rings gold
12 Feb 2025
 

Rakesh Kumar Patra lived up to his reputation as the gymnastic role-model of Odisha by winning a gold medal in the 38th National Games at Bhagirathi Hall in Dehradun, Uttarakhand today. The Puri gymnast captured the gold in mens still rings, his pet event, with a score of 13.133. Winning the National Games gold medal at the age of 32 years was yet another testament of Patra’s passion and dedication for gymnastics.

The bronze medal in still rings was also bagged by Puri gymnast Tapan Mohanty, albeit for Services Sports Control Board (SSCB), scoring 12.700. This was the fifth medal and second of the day for Mohanty who also captured the gold in floor exercise with a score of 13.033. Earlier, he bagged one gold medal each in mens team and individual all-around events.

 

Odisha secured two medals in artistic gymnastics today with women Olympian Pranati Nayak claiming the silver in table vault. This was the second medal for Pranati, following the gold medal she claimed in the women all-around event yesterday.

It may be noted that Pranati hails from West Bengal and trains at Odisha AM/NS Gymnastics HPC in Bhubaneswar. In the last Senior National Championship, held in Bhubaneswar, she won one gold and one bronze for her employer Indian Railways.

Odisha also secured one silver and two bronze medals today in canoeing and kayaking to take its tally to 41, which include 12 gold, 14 silver and 15 bronze. Canoeists Rasmita Sahoo and Achoibam Sanatombi Devi secured one silver in C2 women 500m sprint, clocking 2:06.466.
