Olympian Srihari Nataraj of Karnataka finished his swimming tournament at the National Games in a blaze of glory, winning the men's 100m freestyle final at the Sardar Patel Aquatics Complex to earn his sixth gold medal. He won in a new National Games record time of 50.41 seconds.

Srihari succeeded in completing his task, winning two gold medals in the freestyle sprint event to go along with his two backstroke victories and leading the Karnataka relay teams to two more golds.

Sadly, the athlete delivered a somewhat unpleasant conclusion to his otherwise spectacular career at the Gujarat Games on Monday morning. In his tweet, Nataraj mentioned Indigo Airlines and detailed how the crew mistreated him and his teammates.

Additionally, the competitors were charged a significant sum of money for luggage, which included the medals and presents they got from the National Games. Srihari claimed that although the quantity wasn't a problem, the staff's handling of the swimmers was the main issue.
