S. Siva set a new meet record in the 200m individual medley and bagged two gold medals and a bronze on the opening day of the National aquatic championships at the Zakir Hussain Aquatic Complex here on Tuesday.
Despite heavy rains and high humidity, the 21-year-old Karnataka swimmer, who had claimed a silver last year, clocked 2:05.64 to leave Sajan Prakash’s 2018 performance of 2:05.83 behind. Siva had clocked 2:05.43 in the Khelo India University Games in April last.
Siva was also part of the Karnataka team that won the men’s 4x200m freestyle relay and got a bronze in the mixed 4x50m medley.
