RANCHI: Gymnast Dipa Karmakar produced a golden show in the individual apparatus events of the 34th National Games' gymnastics competition here on Sunday making a clean sweep of gold medals at the Ganpat Rai Stadium.
The 17-year-old showed enough grace and fluency on four apparatus — vault, uneven bars, beam and floor — to give her State Tripura five gold medals, including the overall crown.
Her show even overshadowed India's eminent male gymnast, Ashish Kumar of Uttar Pradesh, who was the best among men with one gold, two silvers and a bronze medal haul.
Ashish, who won a silver and bronze at the Commonwealth Games and first-ever gymnastic bronze medal from floor exercise at the Guangzhou Asian Games, annexed the overall gold medal for men as well.
