India didn¡¯t have a good start as they were trailing after the first lap by .244 second. Making a solid comeback, the Indian cyclists reduced the gap to 0.030 seconds in Round 2 and then produced a spectacular effort in the third round to write a page of their own in the history books.
A Independence Day gift, a gold of highest caliber, courtesy of our young cyclists. What a proud moment.
