His stride is smooth but speech twitchy. Assam바카라s Amlan Borgohain, however, has come far enough now to not let his stammer bother him much. At the National Games 2022, the 24-year-old powered his way to gold in the 100m and 200m. (More Sports News)
Sporting success aside, reading the Bhagvad Gita has helped the sprinter, who alternates between being jovial and profound.
바카라I바카라ve started enjoying reading, and people say the Gita has all the answers,바카라 he told Outlook as he stretched on the lawns of IIT Gandhinagar, soon after winning the 100m gold. 바카라I want to run a sub-10 seconds time one day. So I thought I might find the answer there [in the Gita], as to how I can do that. It바카라s quite helpful. I바카라m calmer now.바카라
Did he find the sub-10 answer in the Gita?
바카라I don바카라t know about that, but I바카라m learning new things from it, discovering myself, that바카라s helping me a lot. Feeling calm helps me a lot.바카라
Borgohain trains in Bhubaneshwar, while his family is based in Hyderabad. He has the word 바카라Maa바카라 tattooed on his left-arm, a declaration of how much his ailing mother Geetanjali means to him.
바카라I got the tattoo in Bhubaneshwar, where I train. I was sitting around one day and I thought 바카라let바카라s get a tattoo바카라,바카라 he said. 바카라Of course, I told her about it only after I had gotten it.바카라
Borgohain also reveres his elder brother Pradyuman, who quit his job to look after their mother, and who encouraged Amlan in his athletics career.
바카라My mother must have watched my events on TV at home. It would have been a proud moment for her, my father, my brother, who played a very important role in my career. People have no idea how much he has sacrificed to put me on the podium.바카라
Outside his family, Amlan mentions his coaches and support staff among the people who have contributed in his rise. Siddhant Thingalaya, the 110 metres hurdles national record holder, also boosted his confidence.
바카라He has seen the world, and he always kept telling me, 바카라Amlan, you바카라re the best바카라,바카라 said Borgohain.
Gita aside, there was one more reason behind Borgohain being able to push aside distractions and concentrate on his task. There was a false start in the 100m final, but he remained unfazed, thanks to practicing all these days in premises where construction work was on.
바카라In Bhubaneshwar [at the ground where he trains], there is construction work in progress due to FIFA (Under-17 Women바카라s World Cup, from October 11-30), so there is a lot of noise and everything. Now, distractions don바카라t bother me.바카라
He said he does not put a ceiling on how fast he can go.
바카라I don바카라t put a limit on myself, I바카라ll go where god takes me,바카라 he said. 바카라I just do my work, execute my race. If it comes, it comes. At least I have tried, at least I have set a standard for Indian 100m, 200m. People will want to look at that standard and go further.바카라
Sport, and record timings, he said, were like a stage show. 바카라Sometimes people can perform, sometimes people can바카라t perform.바카라
Borgohain was happy to win medals not just for himself but for his state.
바카라People of the North East can now say, 바카라we can also be good sprinters. Amlan did it, so I can too바카라,바카라 he said.
When told that the North East was doing well in various disciplines, he said, 바카라Football, boxing, weightlifting, athletics, yes we are producing winners, no? We are smart enough.바카라
As for bullying, he said, 바카라People always bully you for something or the other. Earlier I would think about it, but now I don바카라t care, because I know who I am. Believe in yourself. Trust the process. That바카라s my motto.바카라
