For the about 70 differently abled children, Thursday
turned out to be an eventful day as they assembled at the Seethakathi
Sethupathi sports ground here to showcase their prowess in the annual
sports meet.
These children, brought from different
homes in the district by their caretakers, threw balls, ran and jumped,
vying with each other in the sports meet conducted by the Sports
Development Authority of Tamil Nadu.
Family members
and caretakers cheered as the mentally challenged children threw cricket
ball with smiles writ large on their faces.
In the
open-to-all category, five differently abled persons were selected to
represent the district in the State sport meet for differently abled
people, an official said.
The selected five won the
first places in 50 and 100 metre race, 100 metre wheel chair race,
basketball throw and standing broad jump, he added.
