The Sports Season has come to an end with lots of stories. Here is a glimpse of PG sports of the year 2010-11 through a very nice video.
At the beginning of the season IEOR came up with its department Sports Jersey and Logo which is shown below. The name warrIEORs was the result of a group discussion where many names came up and in the end a name suggested by Krishna Chaitanya V was finalized. T-shirt design was a joint effort of Bharat Singh Raghav, Sunil Kumar and Mukul Sharma.
.
The Sports season kicked off with Badminton, where in Men’s category we had expectations for a medal, But team IEOR consisting of Pritam Kamble, Yogesh Valunj and Debayan Das lost with a very small difference in the first match itself. Women’s Team for Badminton consisting of Supriya Chitale , Ketki Kulkarni and Varsha Suralkar also lost their first match.
Then came the Table Tennis event. Both our teams won their first games. The teams were: Men: Vineet Rongata, Debayan Das and Rajesh - Women: Chandrama Naha, Varsha Suralkar and Neha Phatak.
We lost our first matches in Carom both in women’s and men’s category. The teams were Men: Pratik Fadadu, Raju Ingulkar and Sunil Kumar - Women: Varsha Suralkar , Violet Bhattacharya and Sweety Hansuwa.
The women's Chess Team won two matches in sucession. The team members were Ketki Kulkarni, Varsha Suralkar and Indu Chaudhury.
Then Phase 2 of PG sports began.
Phase 2 began with Football. The image is of the moment when Team IEOR won their first match. During this, K.C.Lalropuia was recognized as a very good footballer from the fresh pool of talent. Alok Patel who was already recognized as a good footballer has played for the team even though he was ill. Alok's illness may be considered as the reason for the loss in the 2nd match.
IEOR had a history of having a good volley-ball team; this year also the team had many enthusiastic players. IEOR lost the first game after reaching a deuce. The only lag in the team was because of lack of a potential spiker. In this match K C Lalropuia and Sunil Kumar's performances were exceptionally good.
Athletics brought a good start for IEOR. Robin Bhandari won a silver medal in 200 m race. This was the first medal for IEOR.
And then medal machine Inter IIT player Ketki Kulkarni did what she had to do in Lawn Tennis and came up with a gold.
IEOR lost their 1st cricket match, and with this, the season ended.
Special thanks to IEOR Sports Secretary Bharat Singh Raghav.
