“Felt proud and on top of the world to stand on stage with the tri-color and winning a medal for India”, said a beaming Tanishq to gathered reporters from across the world.<\/p>\n

Durga Prasad finished a creditable 12th in a fleet of 36 boys at his first international. \u201cI could have done much better but the light and fluky local conditions confused me while I made up with a race win in the last race and\u00a0that made me feel a lot better\u201d, said Durga Prasad who hopes to be attending the world championships later this year at Pattaya Thailand.<\/p>\n

Durga Prasad is also considering a career in the Navy and is in Mumbai for the selections under the Sailing quota for outstanding sportspersons.<\/p>\n

Juhi Desai, Tanishq\u2019s sister was headed for Gold but the organisers for technical reasons did not declare the results of the girl\u2019s championship denying her a probably Gold despite having won the series on points alone.<\/p>\n

Juhi and Durga are in the National Squad for 2017 and are now looking forward to the series in Hyderabad starting end June till the Telangana Open and Monsoon Regatta to consolidate their wins.<\/p>\n

\u201cLittle did I realise that both my kids would dive so deep into Sailing and perform at the international level. Both had tried many sports but once they learned sailing there was no looking back. The facilities and world\u00a0vision of the Yacht Club of Hyderabad leaves no room for doubt that they are in good hands\u201d , said\u00a0Jeena Desai their dedicated mother who travels all across the world to support the careers of the siblings.<\/p>\n
