Commendable feat by Kerala’s universities

Pandemic notwithstanding, Calicut, Kerala and MG have conducted nearly all events in sporting calendar

Raseena Iqbal takes some time to measure her opponent, who seems to be in a hurry. C.K. Krishna’s tactic of all-out attack doesn’t quite work, though, on this rainy Thursday afternoon at the St. Thomas College Indoor Stadium in Thrissur. Raseena’s superior technique wins her the gold in the 60kg category. The bout — between the boxers representing Thrissur’s Vimala College and Kozhikode’s Government College of Physical Education — has turned out to be one of the highlights of the Calicut University women’s boxing championship. It is late into the night when the competitions are finally over. The following day, the men’s championship would get underway.
