We just think it a medal, but on the back the troubles, sacrifices, emotional fight backs are many. We salute you Mr Sharath, for all the fights on & off field you fought.
I'm following you since 2003 when I was in 7th standard. I'll tell my kids when India had only cricket, there was a guy who was making TT famous in India Anchat Sharath Kamal.
watched Achanta Sharath play Ma long at the Tokyo Olympics. he is a true champion. even the commentators praised him for the sportsperson and gentleman he is. was a proud moment for me as an Indian. Thank you for everything you've done for our country Sir.
I am watching this video in 2020. Achanta Sharad Kamal has just won the Oman Open. He has extended his career. He has also inspired a whole new generation. Currently, the world's highest-ranked Indian is G. Sathyan at 28. Monica Batra has also come into the top 50. We should thank Sharad for showing them the way.
Gentleman To the core. his hardwork has paid and a legend in indian table tennis .every player looks up to him as an inspiration.well done Mr. kamal.

Here after he scripts history with 3 GOLD medals and a Silver in CWG 2022. Absolutely staggering achievement at 40 years of age. A true Legend of the sport.
And now gold in mens team, mixed doubles, mens single. 🏓 🏅
