Bhopal, Feb 5 : Delhi's Sonam and Rajasthan's Sidharth Choudhary excelled as two more national youth records fell on day seven of the Khelo India Youth Games (KIYG) 2022 Madhya Pradesh and both of them came in track and field competitions at the T.T. Nagar stadium in Bhopal on Sunday. Delhi's Sonam, broke the record in the Girls' 2000m steeplechase, finishing with a time of 6.45.71 mins and then later in the Boys' shot put final, Rajasthan's Siddharth Choudhary, heaved the iron ball to a distance of 21.04m to claim a new national youth record. In the medals table, Maharashtra (25 gold) seems to have regained the advantage at the top of the table, but Haryana (22 gold) and hosts Madhya Pradesh (21 gold) were lying second and third with very little to choose from in terms of gold medals, in between them. The stars of the day, however, were Sonam and Siddharth and they brought superlative efforts to the fore. Sonam left behind her second-placed rival C. Keerthana of Telangana more than half a minute behind in the distance race, with a fantastic burst of speed in the final leg. Siddharth's effort of 21.04m was also almost a meter and a half ahead of Uttar Pradesh's (UP) Ashutosh Dubey, who flung 19.70m for silver. Ekta Dey of Madhya Pradesh (M.P) and Anurag Singh Kaler won bronze in the Girls' steeplechase and Boys' shot put respectively.
