Karnataka’s Shoan Ganguly won his first-ever senior Nationals gold with a blistering freestyle leg in the 200m medley, at the Basavanagudi Aquatic Centre here on Wednesday.
In what was the most thrilling race of the evening, 16-year-old Shoan’s closest competitor, S. Siva, was almost a body-length ahead through the butterfly and backstroke legs.
Shoan started clawing his way back during the breaststroke leg before finding the finishing kick in the homestretch to go past his fellow Karnataka swimmer and finish in 2:07.37, 0.42 seconds faster.
