So blessed to have been involved in the concept and design of this world class facility. The first in India and will be one of the best indoor facilities in Asia
Yes. India’s first 200m indoor athletic stadium under construction in Kalinga sports complex. It will be great asset for Indian athletes to train throughout the year.
It’s been one hell of a journey with this guy. Started coaching him back in 2010 when he was just 15 and was still coaching him at the end 13 years later. It was a pleasure to watch him grow as an athlete and as a person during that time. All the best for the future Leon 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

"I burst into tears, I was overjoyed... there was a pause for a moment while we waited for appeals, but then it was finally confirmed... N.Ireland’s Leon Reid was a 200m bronze medalist at the Commonwealth Games"
Leon Reid reflects on his dream medal ➡️
Tricky conditions today at T-Meeting in Netherlands but solid runs of 13.08 and 13.20 (after a 11.76 100m earlier in the day) for a solid ‘training’ competition for
@JyothiYarraji
. Next competition Antwerp on June 3rd
Important message for all young and improving athletes from

. Training well doesn’t always guarantee competition success. Be patient, remember quality training is cumulative and don’t force the performances...let them happen!

Thanks for sharing Fuzz. I hope this picture inspires many high jumpers. The kids in India are inspirational. Many have nothing but appreciate everything. Swadhim built this in his back garden. His biggest concern - he didn’t have enough space for full approach!
