Swadesh Mondal sets national record

BENGALURU: Swadesh Mondal of Bengal created his fourth national record here at the ongoing 37th Sub Junior and 47th Junior National Championships 2021, romping to victory in 400m individual medley for Group II boys. He came up with a brilliant effort to push a fighting Shoan Ganguly of Karnataka to second place, much like their battle in the 200m medley event earlier in the week where Swadesh took the gold and Shoan had to settle for a silver.

While Swadesh took lead in the butterfly leg, Shoan surged ahead in the second hundred where his backstroke was much faster than his competitor from Bengal. But Swadesh showed his supremacy in the third hundred swimming breaststroke and held on to the lead in freestyle to clinch the race with a time of 4:34.15. He eclipsed Advait Paes' record of 4:34.76 set in Pune in 2018. IANS
