help us in our training and gain achievements. Basically, it (kayaking and canoeing) is a European sport which is very famous in Europe, and the weather in Srinagar is mostly the same as in the other European country. So practicing here adds to our
strength,” said Namita, a player from Madhya Pradesh.
