SAI to hold coaching camp ahead of Artistic gymnastics World C’ship

The Hindu  

The Sports Authority of India has decided to hold a 16-day senior national gymnastics coaching camp for men and women here from October 3 ahead of the 48th Artistic World Championship. Interestingly, SAI had initially said that the Indian team for World Championship will consist of two men and women gymnasts and gave the diktat to select the team on all-around basis instead of judging the athletes on the performance of individual events, which left many gymnasts stumped. However, Dr. Rajinder Pathania, Project Officer in his letter on Monday included three men and women in the list of campers for the coaching camp at IG stadium. The women’s team comprises Pranati Das, B. Aruna Reddy and Papiya Das, while the men’s team consists of Aditya Singh Rana, Gaurav Kumar and Abhijeet Kumar.
