Top Indian swimmer Sajan Prakash began his season on a winning note by clinching the men’s 200m butterfly gold at the Danish Open swimming meet in Copenhagen.
Not his personal best
Competing in his first international meet this year, Prakash stopped the clock at 1.59.27 to stand atop the podium on Friday night. Earlier, the Kerala swimmer, who trains in Dubai under coach Pradeep Kumar, had clocked 2.03.67 in the heats to qualify for the ‘A’ final. However, Friday’s performance was not even close to the 28-year-old’s personal best timing of 1:56:38 that came last year in Rome, when Prakash become the first Indian swimmer to breach the Olympic ‘A’ standard time.
