In a remarkable display of grit, determination and sporting excellence, Naik Amit Kumar of the Indian Army clinched two prestigious medals at the Asian Rowing Indoor Championship - 2025 held in Pattaya, Thailand, according to a release from PRO Ministry of Defence.

Naik Amit Kumar's achievement underscores the nurturing of talent and promoting excellence in sports among its ranks. Trained as a soldier and a high-performance athlete, his rigorous preparation, discipline, and mental fortitude were evident in his stellar performance at the continental championship.

The Asian Rowing Indoor Championship is a prestigious event that brings together top rowers from across Asia, competing in a test of endurance, speed, and skill.

Naik Amit's success at such a competitive platform reflects not only personal triumph but also the growing footprint of India and its armed forces in the field of international sports. His performance is a shining example of how soldiers continue to bring glory to the nation both in service and in sports arenas.

Earlier in month, Indian athletes fought hard in the 26th Asian Athletics Championships in the South Korean City of Gumi. The Indian athletes swelled the overall medal tally to 24 and finished in second place behind China.

Eight of the 24 medals were gold, 10 silver, and six bronze. China topped the table chart with 26 medals, including 15 gold, eight silver and three bronze medals.

All eyes on the final day of the continental competition were on the men's javelin throw. Sachin Yadav, on his international debut, recorded a personal and season best of 85.16m to win the silver medal behind Pakistan's Olympic champion Arshad Nadeem (86.40m).

So proud of our athletes! First Sachin Yadav's silver in javelin and now Naik Amit's medals in rowing. We're making our mark in Asian sports. But I wish we had more infrastructure for these sports at grassroots level.

The fact that he's both a soldier and an athlete makes this doubly impressive! Our armed forces are truly multi-talented. Hope this inspires more youth to take up sports seriously.

Great performance! But why isn't rowing more popular in India? We have so many water bodies. Maybe if we promote such sports more, we can challenge China's dominance in Asian games.

Heartwarming to see our soldiers bringing glory in sports too! Though I must say, we need to invest more in sports science and training facilities to consistently compete with powerhouses like China.

Kudos to Naik Amit! 👏 It's amazing how our athletes are performing despite limited resources. The javelin silver against Olympic champion Nadeem was also commendable. Slowly but surely, we're getting there!
