BHIM-UPI TOISA: PV Sindhu shines brightest amongst sports winners for 2019 - Times of India
New Post has been published on https://apzweb.com/bhim-upi-toisa-pv-sindhu-shines-brightest-amongst-sports-winners-for-2019-times-of-india/
BHIM-UPI TOISA: PV Sindhu shines brightest amongst sports winners for 2019 - Times of India
Tumblr media
NEW DELHI: PV Sindhu, Rohit Sharma, Rani, Saurabh Chaudhary, Dutee Chand, Manu Bhaker, Bajrang Punia and Jaspal Rana are some of the prominent names that featured among the winners at the Times of India Sports Awards (TOISA) powered by BHIM-UPI, which honoured the best performances in Indian sport in 2019 at a glittering awards function in Delhi on Thursday.
The who’s who of India’s sports fraternity were present at the awards ceremony, including one of the country’s most legendary sports persons, hockey Olympian Balbir Singh Sr, who was part of three of India’s gold-medal winning teams at the Olympics, besides being the manager of the squad that lifted the 1975 World Cup.
The event was also attended by a few very special guests – members of the 1980 Olympics gold medal winning hockey team, including captain V Basakaran, MM Somaiya, Mervyn Fernandes, Zafar Iqbal, Surinder Singh Sodhi and MK Kaushik.
Tumblr media
Sindhu’s historic feat of becoming the first Indian to win the badminton World Championships remained unmatched and she was, therefore, named the ‘Sportsperson of the Year’, besides being the joint winner in the Jury’s Choice Award for ‘Badminton Player of the Year’ along with Sai Praneeth. Sindhu, who is currently ranked sixth in the BWF Rankings, completed a hat-trick by winning the ‘Unbreakable Spirit of Sport award’ as well. She is set to enter the Tokyo Olympics in an endeavour to improve on the women’s singles silver medal she won in Rio four years ago.
The men’s award in the badminton category went to 2019 BWF World Championships bronze medallist Sai Praneeth, who created history by becoming only the second man after Prakash Padukone to win a medal at the premier tournament.
The elite panel of jury members that picked the ‘Jury’s Choice Award’ in 19 categories included former India cricketer Gautam Gambhir; former India football captain Bhaichung Bhutia; hockey’s Olympic gold medallist Zafar Iqbal; Asian Games silver medallist and former athlete Ashiwni Nachappa; the first Indian paralympian to win two gold medals at the Paralympics, Devendra Jhajaria; and Chief Editor of Times Internet Limited, Rajesh Kalra.
The ‘Cricketer of the Year’ award went to Rohit, who set the 2919 ICC World Cup ablaze with a record five centuries, besides crossing many more landmarks in the year. Women’s hockey captain Rani, whose goal helped the team qualify for its second consecutive Olympic appearance, was named the ‘Hockey Player of the Year’. She was also selected as the ‘Inspiration of the Year’ for her exploits in 2019, which also saw Rani winning the ‘World Games Athlete of the Year’ award — the first Indian and the first hockey player to achieve the feat.
Tumblr media
In the men’s category for ‘Hockey Player of the Year’, Harmanpreet Singh was named the winner, as he turned into a leader of India’s defence, which played a major role in India achieving its best ever world rank of No. 4.
The ‘Team of the Year’ award was won by the men’s hockey team which achieved its best ever FIH rank of 4, besides qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics. Meanwhile shooting star turned National junior coach Jaspal Rana was chosen as the ‘Coach of the Year’ for producing talents like Manu Bhaker and Saurabh Chaudhary.
Incidentally, Chaudhary and Bhaker were joint winners in the ‘Shooter of the Year’ category. In a pathbreaking year for Indian shooting, the duo bagged the 10m Air Pistol mixed team gold in each of the four ISSF World Cups in 2019, besides bagging the Tokyo Olympics quotas in the men’s and women’s 10m Air Pistol.
The other male-female winning combos included Anish Bhanwala (shooting) and Lalremsiami (hockey) as the ‘Emerging Players of the Year’. While Bhanwala won a gold and a bronze in 25m Standard Pistol at the two 2019 World Cups, hockey striker Lalremsiami was named the ‘FIH Rising Star of the Year for 2019’ — a first for an Indian woman. In athletics, Tajinder Pal Singh Toor and Dutee Chand bagged the ‘Athlete of the Year’ awards. Shot-putter Toor won gold medals at the Asian Athletics Championships, while Dutee’s history-making moment came at the World Universiade, where she became the first Indian woman sprinter to win gold.
Amit Panghal and Lovlina Borgohain were the joint winners in the boxing category, while Saurav Ghosal and Joshna Chinappa were selected as the best squash players.
Panghal’s memorable 2019 included a golden hat-trick at the Strandja Memorial, Asian Boxing Championships and India Open; and his best moment came when he won his maiden medal, a silver, at the World Championships.
Borgohain too had a brilliant year in the boxing ring, where she claimed a bronze at the Strandja Memorial, gold at the Salam Umakhanov Memorial and a bronze at the World Championships.
Squash star Ghosal won the Asian Individual Squash Championships, which helped him enter the top 10 of PSA Rankings. Both those achievements were a first for an Indian male squash player. Chinappa, on the other hand, defended her Asian Individual Squash Championships crown and then won a record record 17th title at the National Squash Championships.
Top Indian wrestler Punia started 2019 by winning the gold medal at the Asian Wrestling Championships. Later in the year, his consistency at the international level earned him the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna. At the World Championships, he had to settle for a bronze medal, but it helped him bag an Olympic quota for India in the 65kg freestyle category. Vinesh had a successful run in 2019, which culminated with her maiden medal (bronze) at the World Championships and a quota place at the Tokyo Olympics.
Archers Deepika Kumari and Abhishek Verma were also among the winners. Deepika won gold at the 2019 Asian Championships and with it an Olympic quota in women’s recurve.
Mirabai Chanu made a terrific return from injury in 2019, with gold medals at the EGAT Cup and the Commonwealth Weightlifting Championship. Sathish Sivalingam was the male winner in the weightlifting category.
At the World Championships in September 2019, Chanu improved on her own national record and came agonisingly close to a podium finish before settling for a fourth-place finish in the 49kg category. In the process, she became the first woman weightlifter from the country to breach the magical mark of 200kg.
Among the other ‘Jury’s Choice’ award winners were billiards and snooker player Sourav Kothari, chess star R Pragnanandha and football icon Sunil Chhetri.
In para-sports, shuttlers Pramod Bhagat and Manasi Joshi were the jury’s pick as winners for their feats at the 2019 World Championships, where they both won gold medals in the singles categories becoming world champions.
Bhagat became a force to reckon with in 2019, winning twin gold medals at the Para-Badminton World Championships in the men’s singles (SL3 category) and men’s doubles (SL3-4 category). An IIT graduate, Bhagat contracted polio as a 7-year-old but never let that impede his ambitions.
Joshi secured her maiden gold at the Para World Championship. An engineer by qualification, Manasi lost her left leg in an accident in 2011. She enrolled at the Pullela Gopichand Academy in Hyderabad in 2018 and since then has not looked back.
Some of the special awards given on the occasion included the prestigious ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’ to Bhaichung Bhutia, ‘Mentor of the Year’ to India’s national badminton coach Pullela Gopichand and ‘Youth Icon of the Year’ to Vijender Singh, the Olympic-medal winning boxer who turned pro a few years ago.
Also, the state of Odisha was conferred with the award for ‘Change Agent of the Year’ for its contribution towards sports, and the Reliance Foundation was named the ‘Corporate Supporter of the Year’.

Para World Badminton: Manasi Secures Maiden Gold, Says Being World Champion ‘Feels Great’
New Post has been published on https://healingawerness.com/getting-healthy/getting-healthy-women/para-world-badminton-manasi-secures-maiden-gold-says-being-world-champion-feels-great/
Para World Badminton: Manasi Secures Maiden Gold, Says Being World Champion ‘Feels Great’
Surya Sathya Narayanan Hyderabd040-395603080 August 27, 2019
The news world has been taken by storm with the badminton star PV Sindhu winning gold at the BWF (Badminton World Federation) World Championship. She received a hero’s welcome when she landed back on Indian soil, followed by a personal meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Let’s take a step back and focus on another shuttle champion who has defied all the odds to be the new world champion at the BWF Para-badminton championship that took place in Switzerland. She beat the world number 1, as well as her Indian compatriot, to bring home her maiden gold.
joshi.manasi / Instagram
Coming from the same Gopi Chand Academy that produced stars like PV Sindhu and Sania Nehwal, Manasi Joshi’s story is much more than what meets the eye.
Manasi held the badminton racket at a very young age and started playing with her father when she was a mere six-year-old. Over the years, she continued the practice that turned into a hobby, and later, went on to play matches at the district level as well.
By the time she was 22, Manasi began her work life and continued to practice badminton. But, the universe had a different plan for her.
On December 2, 2011, Manasi was on her way to work on her two-wheeler, when she met with an accident. A truck hit her, and her left leg went under the wheel, only to be crushed. Before she could be rushed to a hospital and operated on, she had lost a lot. In the process of treating the leg, the doctors realized that it had already gotten infected and amputation was the only way out.
After spending a month and a half in the hospital, coming to terms with reality and learning to walk with a crutch, Manasi was discharged. While the accident lost her a limb, there was nothing to tarnish her optimism. Once the injury had healed, Manasi went ahead to get a prosthetic leg. And, from there, she decided she did not want to look back anymore.
In the next eight months, Manasi went through rehabilitation, in order to learn to walk. The year after her accident, she continued a full-time job and also went on to participate in a badminton match at her office. She did not take the sports goal further since she remained dependent on crutches for support.
joshi.manasi / Instagram
By June 2014, Manasi stepped into the gym and began a full-fledged workout routine to get fit again. The routine involved setting daily targets, walking, and lifting weights. In August that year, she enrolled for trials to represent Maharashtra at the state-level selection for the Asian Games. Although she did not make it, it proved to be a new beginning. That period showed her what she was actually capable of.
She decided to push her limits further with training, and later the same year, she won silver in her first national-level tournament. While participating in her first national-level tournament was in itself a special feeling, her pride was more because of who she played against—Parul Parmar, an Arjuna awardee. As an outcome of her victory, she was selected to play at the Spanish Para-Badminton Championship in March the following year.
And, medal after medal, year after year, Manasi Joshi went on to represent India at the 2019 BWF Para-Badminton Championship in Switzerland and defeated her first national-level opponent, Parul, to come back home with her first gold ever.
Manasi admits that the feeling of being called the world champion is wonderful while remembering that journey is never easy for any athlete, let alone a para-athlete.
All along the journey to her present victory, coach Gopi Chand was a constant driving factor for Manasi. Guiding her in not merely the strokes and fitness, he also helped in a mental level preparation for the match.
joshi.manasi / Instagram
Currently balancing between a full-time job and a badminton regime, Manasi has no gaps to fill in her day. On a normal day, she begins life as early as 4:30 AM and works out and practices before heading off to work.
What Changed Over The Years?
joshi.manasi / Instagram
For several years before her accident, Manasi was focused on her education and career, aiming merely at the material aspects of life. During that time, badminton served merely as a way to stay in shape. However, after her accident badminton turned into a way of life. It was not about fitness anymore. It turned into a means to send out a message.
With strong support from her family, and inspiration all around her in the form of several para-athletes she came in touch with, Manasi went on to do what may have been deemed impossible for several others.
Against all the odds, Manasi proves to be the living testament of “Impossible will take time. Difficult will be done immediately.”
Walk over to the mirror, and take a good look. Have any more excuses? Well, think again.

Sindhu wins third successive ESPN’s Female Sportsperson of the Year award
New Post has been published on https://apzweb.com/sindhu-wins-third-successive-espns-female-sportsperson-of-the-year-award/
Sindhu wins third successive ESPN’s Female Sportsperson of the Year award
World champion shuttler P.V. Sindhu on Thursday won the ESPN’s ‘Female Sportsperson of the Year’ award for a third consecutive time while young shooter Saurabh Chaudhary bagged the honour in the male category.
Saurabh won a total of five World Cup gold medals — two in the men’s 10m air pistol and another three in the 10m air pistol mixed team event at the ISSF World Cup 2019. He also won a 10m air pistol bronze medal at the World Cup in Rio.
Sprinter Dutee Chand became the first winners of the ‘Courage’ award for being inspirational both on and off the field. She fought the world athletics governing body — the IAAF’s discriminatory hypoandrogenism regulations, and earned her right to race again.
In 2019, she became the first Indian athlete to come out and talk about being in a relationship with a female friend.
Ace chess player Koneru Humpy won the award for the ‘Comeback of the Year’ after claiming her first world title in December 2019 by winning the Women’s World Rapid Chess Championships in Moscow to cap a remarkable comeback.
The former junior world champion had taken a two-year maternity sabbatical between 2016 and 2018 to look after her newborn daughter.
Wrestler Deepak Punia’s gold in the world junior championship, silver in the world senior championship, and earning a qualification for the Tokyo Olympics made him a natural choice for the coveted ESPN’s ‘Emerging Sportsperson of the Year’ award.
Pullela Gopichand, chief national badminton coach, claimed the ‘Coach of the Year’ award, for nurturing two Olympic medalists in Saina Nehwal and Sindhu.
Sindhu’s World Championship win, the first by an Indian in badminton, has also been selected as the ‘Moment of the Year’
Manu Bhaker-Saurabh Chaudhary grabbed the ‘Team of the Year’ honour.’ The 10m air pistol mixed team combination completed their clean sweep at 2019 World Cups.
Manasi Joshi, 30, won ‘Differently-abled athlete of the year/Para-athlete of the year’ award. Joshi became world champion after winning the gold medal at the BWF Para-Badminton World Championships in 2019.
Hockey legend Balbir Singh (Senior), one of independent India’s most celebrated Olympians, has been conferred with ESPN’s ‘Lifetime Achievement’ award.
Balbir played a starring role in the national hockey team’s triple golds in London 1948, Helsinki 1952 and Melbourne 1956. He also worked with the national team as coach at the 1971 World Cup and as a manager in Kuala Lumpur four years later, when India won their only World Cup title to date.
ESPN Multi-Sport Awards recognised achievements across 10 categories.
