Sharath Kamal has set his sights on yet another shot at the Olympics, his confidence boosted by a grand showing at the recently-concluded Commonwealth Games.

Four medals at 2022 CWG

At 40, Sharath returned from Birmingham as the most-decorated Indian athlete at the Games, with four medals. Besides a gold medal in the mixed doubles, Sharath also won the singles gold after 16 years, the first coming at the 2006 Melbourne CWG. Having played at the top level for over 20 years, Sharath is in no mood to retire just yet, and is eyeing an Olympic medal. “It feels great to get my personal best in CWG. My highest was three, this time I won a fourth. Fitness is something I’ve been working a lot because the reflexes of youngsters are fast, and I try to be at par so that I can compete with them,” Sharath told PTI.
