The final day of the Olympics was today and it was held at the stadium in upper TCV. The weather held out all day, and even caused a little sunburn, but all said and done, we had some winners today. First place received 1 Lakh rupees, second place won 50,000 rupees and third place won 25,000 rupees, in both mens and womens. It was a pretty close fight for ranking in the top 3, although there were certain athletes who seemed to be competing just for the fun of it. I was surprised with such a large cash prize, that there were not more participants. Here are the Gold, Silver and Bronze medalists.
My old friend Lobsang Wangyal has funded the entire event himself. He has received some donations, but is in desperate need for more. Please visit here for any small or large contribution you can make.
Men’s Champions: Dorji Tsering, First place, Dawa Dakpa, Second place, Tenzin Choephel, Third place
