PUNE, MARCH 22: Deepak Harugade of TMBC took the gold medal in the Men8217;s Open Single Sculls category of the XXII Maharashtra State championships held at Mula Mutha river, home waters of the Bombay Engineering Group, Khadki, here recently.

One of the most keenly rowed race was the finals of the Women8217;s Coxed Four event between COEP and BEG. The race was, however, won by almost a boat length by COEP. On the day of finals, luck ran out for the championship itself. Water Hycanith which had been tied up at the Holkar bridge was released by the authorities and flowed down the river to choke up the course. The wind came to the rescue and cleared a part of the course, which had to be shifted 750 metres downstream for the finals.
