Bhopal:
The Indian
Railways team notched up total eight medals with three gold and
silver each along with two bronzes to top the medal tally on the
opening day of the four-day 49th Indian National Open
Athletics Championship which got underway here on Tuesday at Bhopal.
The performance of
the athletes was lackluster as no national record were set or Meet
record were broken. in the backdrop of humiliation which yesteryear
Indian sprint queen P. T. Usha, who burst into tears while narrating
her woes to media persons over the issue of proper accommodation to
her, suffered at the hands of the organizers due to communication
gap the proceedings of the day did not invite much attention.
The Services team
remained second with one gold medal and two bronzes to their credit.
Haryana and Maharashtra pocketed one gold medal each only.
