INDIA’S LONE LUGER KESHAVAN RETIRES FROM SPORT AT WINTER OLYMPICS

PYEONGCHANG: SHIVA Keshavan brought the curtain down on his over two-decade international career with a 34th-place finish in the men’s luge singles event. Taking part in his sixth Olympics, the 36-year-old Keshavan produced the best timing of his campaign as he covered the 1,344 m track in 48.900 seconds in his third round.

Since Keshavan finished outside the top 20 after three runs, he did not get to compete in the fourth and final run, which decided the medals. Keshavan was also 34th overall after the two rounds held on Saturday and he maintained that position. His aggregate time in the three runs stood at two minutes and 28.188 seconds.

Austrian David Gleirscher won gold while Chris Mazdzer of US bagged silver and Johannes Ludwig of Germany took bronze.
