A chaiwala ki daughter has won the first gold of Khelo India Youth Games held in Panchkula, Haryana. Until 3 years ago, Kajol Sargar was only associated with sports that she had gone to a local gymnasium to see her brother Sanket train in weightlifting. Hailing from Sangli, Maharashtra, Kajol has also seen her brother become India's top weightlifter, but even that hasn't inspired her to take up sports. Then one day in 2019, when she saw Roopa Hongandi, who hails from Sangli, winning a gold medal at the Khelo India Youth Games in Pune, everything has changed for Kajol since then.
Kajol Sargar, after becoming the first gold medalist in the Khelo India Youth Games 2021 here on Sunday, has said that - My brother has grown five years from me. I've never talked to him about the game before. Where he has said about this that- After knowing about the success of Rupa Hongdi in Khelo India Youth Games, I felt that I should also try weightlifting.
Kajol, who is training under the leadership of Mayur Singhsane, has taken another step towards rising to the top of Maharashtra's medal tally in the women's 40kg category by lifting a total of 113KG. Kajol could manage only 50 kg in the snatch and in her third attempt, Rekhamoni was behind Gogoi of Assam, who lifted 2 kg more than her in the clean and jerk. Roopa then rose to the top of the podium by lifting 60kg and 63kg in clean and jerk.
