BHUBANESWAR 14-Jun-2015 26
Host Odisha asserted supremacy, bagging a total of 159 medals in the 6th All-India Open Karate Championship, which concluded here at Utkal Karate School today. The medals included 39 gold, 39 silver and 81 bronze. Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal finished second and third respectively in the medals tally.
Four karatekas played significant role in putting Odisha on the top of the medals tally. They were Abhishek Pattnaik, Dillip Kumar Jena, Payal Baral and Anupama Swain. Abhishek, a trainee of host Utkal Karate School (UKS), was the most successful competitor of the three-day championship, garnering three gold and one silver.
Abhishek`s UKS-mates Dillip and Anupama claimed three gold medals each. Payal from Sunabeda of Koraput district also secured three gold medals. Around 500 karatekas from five states participated in the event, which was hosted by Utkal Karate School, in association with Shukokai Karate-do Union India.
The tournament served as a good platform for karatekas, who do not get opportunity to showcase their talent in National championships. Karate Association of India general secretary Bharat Sharma, Bhubaneswar City Mayor Ananta Narayan Jena, local MLAs Priyadarshi Mishra, Bijay Kumar Mohanty and UKS founder Hari Prasad Pattanayak handed over the medals at the closing ceremony.
