HANGZHOU: Age is just a number in sports. It may sound cliched, but played out factually at the 19th Asian Games, where India's youngest and the oldest medallists are separated by a whopping 50 year age gap between them.
Roller skating bronze medallist Sanjana Bathula and double squash bronze medallist Anahat Singh, both 15, have an age difference of just three months. But compared to 65-year-old Bridge silver medallist Jaggy Shivdasani, there is a full generation's gap between the trio. However, the pedestal they share has the same title -- Asian Games medallists.
