National Games: 52-year-old Bhaskar Credits Rigorous Fitness Regime For Gold-winning Performance In Billiards
Peddem Indoor Stadium: Karnataka’s Bhaskar Balachandra has maintained a fine balancing act in his life between his role as a billiards player and running his family business of silk sarees.
However, on Monday, it was all about taking care of business on the billiards table as the 52-year-old defeated Maharashtra’s Rohan Jambusaria 3-1 in the Men’s Billiards 100up format to clinch the gold Medal at the 37th National Games at the Peddem Indoor Stadium.
Billiards and Snooker is making its competitive debut at the National Games as it was only a demonstration sport back at the 1997 Games in Bengaluru (then Bangalore). Bhaskar had then won the bronze medal with Ashok Shandilya and Geet Sethi winning gold and silver respectively.
