Ahmedabad, February 23 Gujarat's Rohit Majgul (-66kg) has secured qualification for the Commonwealth Games and the Asian Games, which will be held later this year, after impressive performances in the judo selection trials held in New Delhi.
In the final match of the three, Majgul faced Haryana's Garvit, and their decisive bout went into golden score, where the Gujarat judoka executed an O Goshi to score a waza-ari and claim a victory.
Majgul, who is from a tribal village named Talala in the Gir Somnath district, had remained unbeaten in the last two senior nationals. He has been training at the Vijayi Bharat Foundation in Godhavi for nearly four years.
"Qualifying for the Commonwealth Games and Asian Games is a dream come true for me. Every bout at the trials tested my limits, but I trusted my training and my coaches," Majgul said in a statement.
'O Goshi' is a throwing technique in which the attacker loads the opponent onto the hip and rotates them forward to the mat, while 'Waza-ari' is awarded when an opponent lands largely on their back.
