Jaipur lad bags silver in Serbia

Jaipur lad Harsh Choudhary took the silver medal in 70 kilogram boxing in 2nd Nations' Cup International Tournament held from August 15-20 at Vrbas in Serbia.

The Sports Authority of India led the 13-member junior team to Serbia where participants from various countries took part in the tournament.

Speaking to IANS, sixteen-year-old Harsh said the short height of his competitor helped him score more points in the tough competition.

On his return from Serbia on Tuesday, Harsh was extended a warm reception at the Jaipur International Airport by students of Akashdeep School and local residents of Durgapura's Jadon Nagar-A here.
