2nd North East Olympic Games closes successfully with a glittering ceremony at Shillong. Chief Minister Conrad Sangma chaired the closing ceremony. Speaking on the occasion CM said: “I welcome one and all to the culmination of what has been a landmark moment in the history of Meghalaya. I can say with pride and conviction, that the 2nd North East Olympic Games have been a remarkable success. The organisation of this event is a testament to what the Northeast can do and the signs of what the Northeast can achieve in the times to come. I would like to bring to everyone’s attention that there has been a concerted and systemic effort behind the stupendous success of Team Meghalaya. We have gone from 1 (one) Gold Medal in 2018 in Athletics to 15 Gold Medals in Athletics this year along with unprecedented successes in other disciplines. Despite COVID, we continued supporting the athletes, ensuring that they get the best of facilities, training, and opportunity. The Government and the various sporting associations worked with a single-minded focus to emerge as champions, and I feel euphoric with their immense success. We are now completely ready to host the National Games in 2023 and other international events.”Meghalaya finishes with a rich haul of 36 Gold Medals and overall tally of 149 Medals.
