** 64-year-old Mangaluru sportswoman bringing laurels for country
A living testimony to this is 64-year-old Bhavani Jogi from Sakleshpur in Hassan district and currently a resident of Mangaluru.
Bhavani, a nurse, is an accomplished sportswoman, who recently won three gold, a silver and a bronze medal in the 35th Annual Masters (Open) Athletic Championship held in Sri Lanka. And wait. That’s not all. She’s so far won more than 200 medals in field and track events. But it wasn’t an easy journey to the top for Bhavani.

It was only after she got married that Bhavani started participating in sporting events.

Touted as one of the gruelling races in the Ultra Cycling calendar, Deccan Cliffhanger always challenges the best cyclits from across the boarders of India.
Starting from the picturesque hill city of Pune, this 643 km race is an adventurous and challenging ride, as the route passes through some humangous climbs of Khandala Ghat on NH48, 21km of vertical ascent to the top of Panchagani, followed by Pasarni Ghat and the rolling terrain from Satara to Belgaum, where the scorching heat and headwinds make it almost impossible to pedal.
Taking the inroads from Belgaum to Goa, the route passes through the dense forest, ascends to Chorla Ghat and then slowly descends to the sea level at Ponda culminating at the beach near Bogmalo, South Goa.
