Kho-Kho, a sport that belongs pre-dominantly to<br />
the South Asian region only was played from 6th to<br />
10th February 2016 at the LNIPE, Tepesia, Guwahati<br />
Indoor Stadium. The sport saw participation from<br />
Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka in<br />
both men as well as women categories of the sport<br />
with a total of 75 male and 76 female athletes and 30<br />
team officials.<br />
Both the men and women events went on similar patterns<br />
with hosts India once again showing the gap that<br />
exists between them and the rest in South Asia. The<br />
men and women cruised into the finals where they<br />
met Bangladesh in the final. However, the final saw<br />
another complete performance by the male and the<br />
female Indian athletes leading to a Gold Medal finish.<br />
Nepal finished third in both men and women events<br />
with the men’s 3rd place play off between Nepal and<br />
Sri Lanka turning out to be a close affair.<br />
