AFTER rewriting his national record and clinching the gold here at the IIT Gandhinagar athletics track, pole-vaulter Siva Subramaniam left for hotel with the medal around his neck. However, when he was having dinner at the hotel, he realised he left his bag containing his belongings at the entry room of the venue. He immediately rushed back to the athletics tracks to reclaim it. Fortunately for him, he found it back with the yellow metal still hanging around his neck.
"I am on my way back to my hotel room. I didn't forget the medal but left the bag at the venue only. I got it now," Services' Siva told this newspaper. Despite breaking his own national record set in 2018, the athlete from Tamil Nadu was not satisfied. "I was regularly doing 5.40m during practice sessions in Nehru Stadium, Chennai. That's why I tried it here as well but cannot complete it. It will come as my target is clearing 5.70-5.75 in future," he added.
