    Khelo India Youth Games: Himanshu Jakhar, who created history after becoming the first Indian to clinch gold in men’s javelin throw at the U-18 Asian Athletics Championships in Dammam, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, will be a major attraction at the upcoming Khelo India Youth Games in Bihar scheduled from May 4 to 15.

    Himanshu, who hails from Salahawas village in Jhajjar district of Haryana, clinched the yellow metal with a massive throw of 67.57 metres much ahead of China’s Lu Hao (63.45m) and Uzbekistan’s Ruslan Sadullaev (61.96m). His father Dalbir and mother Reena are farmers.

    The 17-year-old Himanshu Jakhar picked up a javelin just five years back, training in his home village initially before shifting to the SAI Centre in Hisar. Talking to SAI Media from Saudi Arabia, Himanshu said that his next target is the Khelo India Youth Games in Bihar.
