CHENNAI: It wasn't an easy journey for Achanta Sharath Kamal over the last two and half years due to the global pandemic. He is 40 now and has achieved a lot in his career. There was always the option of letting it go, no one would have complained, but Sharath was not the one to give up.
Three gold medals in CWG, including an individual gold that he won after 16 years, made it a mixture of joy and relief for the Chennai paddler. Playing 12 matches over three days might have taken a lot out of him, but Sharath is already looking ahead.
