GOLD IN JAVELIN THROW
When Vikas started out, he used to train with makeshift javelins made from wood and aluminium, but they would often break upon impact with the ground. But the 17-year-old didn’t allow the odds to overpower his ambitions. At the KISG, he claimed the gold medal with a throw of 75.02m to get a step closer towards realising his dream of representing India at the 2018 Youth Olympic Games.
Vikas, who hails from Kaulapur village in UP’s Badohi district, had a modest introduction to the sport. “My parents and elder brother always supported me. Also, my first coach (Collector Singh) helped me a lot. He got me my first pair of spikes,” he said.
Vikas’ story changed when he was spotted by his current coach, Rakesh Rawat. “This KISG gold is my reply to the critics,” said Vikas.
