indore. Maharashtrian weightlifter Shubham Vijay Kalbhor is elated after winning the bronze medal in the men’s 61kg category at the Khelo India Junior Games on Tuesday. Kalbhor lifted a total of 240kg in the snatch and clean and jerk and finished third at the Khelo India Junior Games. He said I did my best. If he had lifted a little more weight, he could have won the silver medal.
Next time I will play with better preparation. Kalbhor said that his family is engaged in agriculture in the rural area near Pune in Maharashtra and grows and sells vegetables. He said that I used to play kickboxing before. My uncle inspired me to start lifting weights. Kalbhor said he took weightlifting training in his town for two years and then learned the tricks of the sport at a government training center. His grandfather Tukaram Maruti Kalbhor had also come to Indore to support this young player from Maharashtra at the Khelo India Youth Games.
When asked for a reaction to Kalbhor’s success, his grumpy grandfather said you see the smile on our faces. We are all very happy. Shubham is the first player in our entire family to have reached this stage.
