Ludhiana lad Harshveer Singh Sekhon’s effort to improve his sprint performance helped him win the men’s 119kg cycling road race in the National Games on Sunday.
Harshveer covered the distance in two hours, 56 minutes and 8.89 seconds to beat Arvind Panwar narrowly.
Harshveer, an engineering graduate who switched from roller skating to cycling in 2018, stuck to the strategy prepared by his coaches and benefitted from it.
