Imphal, Jan 13:

The Manipur Adventure and Mountain Biking Association (MAMBA) held a solemn function on January 12 at IMA House, Lamphelpat, to felicitate the state’s cyclists who excelled at the 20th National Mountain Biking Championship. The championship took place in Panchkula, Haryana, from March 28 to 31, 2024.
Seasoned cyclist Adonis Tangpu brought home a Silver Medal, finishing as the runner-up in the prestigious Men Elite XCO (Time Trial) event. He also secured a Bronze Medal in the Elite Men XCO (Mass Start) category. Kundrakpam Ronel Singh, another stalwart of the state’s cycling community, clinched a Gold Medal in the U23 XCO event. Young and promising cyclist Thotmachan Awungshi earned a Silver Medal in the Junior Boys XCO (Mass Start) event. Additionally, Haomom Urbashi Devi, the sole woman cyclist from the state, finished third in the Women Elite Downhill event. In total, Manipur’s cyclists brought home four medals from the national championship.
The President of MAMBA highlighted that the association has been actively promoting mountain biking in the state for years. MAMBA had organized trials for state cyclists preparing for the national championship; however, internal issues prevented the official representation of Manipur at the 20th National MTB Championship.
Despite these challenges, it was announced that Adonis Tangpu and Kundrakpam Ronel Singh will represent Manipur in MTB events at the upcoming 38th National Games in Uttarakhand, set to be held from January 28 to February 14, 2025. The state cyclists’ continued participation in national competitions showcases their dedication to the sport, even in the face of obstacles.
