Vaishnavi surges ahead in Asian Games Trials
Hyderabad: Vaishnavi Veeravsmsham who just won the Silver at the under 15 surges ahead in the Olympic Class Laser Radial class with 5 wins out of 6 races
Vaishnavi of the Yacht Club of Hyderabad chose to participate in the Olympic Class with the hope of qualifying for the Asian Games in 2022 .
In the absence of Olympian Nethra Kumanan who missed the championship and trials as she had to visit the Prime Minister at a function , Vaishnavi at just 15 years cashed in and is heading for a convincing gold medal
She will however need to sail with Nethra in the next set of trials and that looks like a tough act to follow given her lack of experience in the Laser class as this is her first championship .
“ Vaishnavi May get two medals in two different classes and I cannot me more proud of her efforts “ , said her coach Suheim Sheikh
