NEW DELHI: If you look closely at race-walker Priyanka Goswami's picture standing on the Commonwealth Games podium in Birmingham wearing a historic silver, it would be difficult to miss what she's holding in her left hand. Dressed in the colours of the Indian flag, it's a statue of Lord Krishna in his 'bal roop' (childhood image), devotedly called 'Bal Gopal'.
On Saturday, when India had its eyes on the wrestling arena in Birmingham, a piece of athletics history was being written by the 26-year-old devotee of Lord Krishna from Muzaffarnagar.
