The neighbouring states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu might differ on several but come sports they are united. This was evident at the Sree Kanteerava Indoor Stadium when Tamil Nadu spikers were playing their semifinal against West Bengal. Tamil Nadu got a rousing cheer when the state went into lead in the first set. Suddenly there was a lull as Tamil Nadu lost quick points in the second and trailed 0-6 in the third. Once they equalised and surged ahead it was cheers all the way that ended in a thundering applause when Tamil Nadu emerged victorious.Sports definitely breaks down all barriers.Tourist attraction:The mighty stadia built in various parts of the city has become tourist spots. People thronged the stadia so much so that the crowd even went to the synthetic athletic track on the opening day when the events were on and crowded the victors and gave them all the support they needed without, of course, knowing who they were congratulating! So when Pandeswari won the 200 metres gold one of the youngsters greeted her and asked: ``What's your name?''
