  National Games: Swimmer Pratyasa wins lone medal for Odisha
02 Feb 2025
 

Swimming ace Pratyasa Ray continued the medal-winning trend intact for Odisha, securing the only medal with a bronze on the sixth day of the 38th National Games in Uttarakhand today. The star swimmer claimed the bronze in womens 100m backstroke, clocking 1:07.77 at the Indira Gandhi International Stadium Swimming Pool in Haldwani.

This was the second individual bronze medal for Pratyasa, who secured her first bronze in 200m backstroke two days ago. She also played an instrumental role in Odisha winning the historic 4x100m medley relay gold earlier on January 30. This was the sixth medal for Odisha in swimming, which has proved as the most successful discipline for the State.

With just one meday today, Odisha stood 13th in the medal tally with a total of 15 medals, which featured four gold, three silver and eight bronze. Odisha women football also brought some cheers for Odisha as they rode on a hat-trick by Malati Munda (45th, 60th, 83rd) to crush Sikkim 5-1 in their third and last group league match at the District Sports Complex in Haldwani.

 

Jabamani Tudu (40th) and Manisha Naik (74th) netted the other two goals for Odisha. Already in the semifinals, Odisha emerged group toppers, winning all three of their group matches. They will play the semifinals most probably against Delhi.

Meanwhile, Odisha shooters Sriyanka Sarangi and Kashika Pradhan qualified for the final round of the womens 50m 3P event at Trishul Shooting Range in Almora.
