ATHLETICS
If every Indian starts training like the towering Mysorean then it would be an altogether different story for Indian athletics. Vikas Gowda has polished his talent over the years and continues to strive to add every centimetre with dedication. The discus thrower emerged the CWG champion in Glasgow with a throw of 63.64m and then pushed two-time defending champion Ehsan Hadadi at the Asiad before settling for silver at 62.58m.
