Satyajit determined to give his best at the Commonwealth Games

Promising Satyajit Mondal could be the proverbial ‘dark horse’ in the gymnastics arena of the Birmingham Commonwealth Games.

For Satyajit, gymnastics runs in the blood. His father Haripada performed the sport at a local level and his uncle Partha became an international gymnast and competed in the 2010 Commonwealth Games.

Now, Satyajit — hailing from Jaynagar Majilpur, a small town that has produced several National and international gymnasts (including Gobinda Pramanik, Kaushik Kazi, Partha and Pranati Das) primarily from the Srijani Sangha club, in South 24 Parganas district of West Bengal — wants to stand on the Commonwealth Games podium.
