  • Press Release
    Press Release Khelo India Youth Games 2019, an event that unearths talent and binds India’s youth Pune, January 5: An aspirational, sporting and young India will find complete representation in the Khelo India Youth Games, which will be held here from January 9.

They will not only come from urban and rural areas from the 29 States and seven Union Territories but also span a wide range of ages – from 10 to 21 years. Some like Jisna Mathew, who was part of the Indian team in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, will come with experience. Backstroke swimming specialist SrihariNataraj has already been to the Commonwealth and Asian Games. On the contrary, three 10-year-old athletes – footballer Pratima Kumar (Jharkhand), Mizoram hockey player Laltlanchhungi and West Bengal’s 10m air rifle shooter Abhinav Shaw, who became India’s youngest National shooting gold medallist in November last – will pick up their first experience of competing in large-scale multidiscipline event. The 6000-odd athletes will compete in 18 different disciplines, including a variety of individual and team sport, disciplines in which India has a tradition of excellence and traditional games like kabaddi and kho-kho.Yet, you can be sure that these athletes will be bound by the common ambition of making India proud with their pursuit of competitive sport. No matter which part of India he or she comes from or which discipline he or she has chosen to compete in, there athletes will be driven to excel so that television broadcasts and web streams will make them earn plaudits from sports fans across the country.
