B.N. Chandrika is another
young, budding and aspiring athlete of the state, who specialises in pentathlon, long jump
and high jump under Mr. V.R. Beedu. "Yes, I would like to do one better than P.T.
Usha," she said with a lot of enthusiasm. At a tender age of 14, she has bagged the
gold in the pentathlon and the long jump event, with a bronze in the high jump event at
the junior state championship held in Bangalore during December.
B.N. Chandrika comes from a sporting family with her sister Dinakeshawari, now an
engineering student in electronics, an athlete also. Chandrika is good with her studies
too, but being just 14 years of age has no big career plans, nevertheless is very certain
of making it big in athletics. |
