PANJIM: Goa’s Taniya Ulhas Usgaonkar kept up to her promise of a second individual medal by clinching a silver medal in roller-skating on a rain-marred day at 2023 Special Olympics Summer Games in Berlin, Friday.
With heavy rains forcing stoppage of all outdoor sports, it was Goa’s Taniya who kept up her promise of winning a second medal for herself as she ended second best in the 30 metres slalom race.
Taniya, a student of Keshav Seva Sadhana, Bicholim, was at her near-best as she ended behind Mohammed Nissar, while leaving Romania’s Corina Campeanu for the bronze in the 30 metres slalom.
The 15-year-old from Goa had already settled for a bronze in the 30 metres straight line roller-skating event earlier this week. (Pg 15>>)
