Nitish Jhugursingh, a member of the Port-Louis Racers AC, caused a surprise on Saturday in Gros Cailloux by winning the senior men’s race just ahead of the favourite Simon Desvaux De Marigny. In the senior girls’ race, Sonia Soodon, who was absent from the previous round, was untouchable.<\/p>\n
Tactics paid off for Nitish Jhugursing. The 2021 national cross-country champion stayed in the wake of Simon Desvaux de Marigny before going on the offensive at the halfway point. But the hardest thing for the eventual winner was to lose his pursuer who offered great resistance.<\/p>\n
However, Nitish Jhugursing had the answer and won by three seconds over his runner-up in a time of 21:31 over a distance of 6 km. Shyaveen Dussaram finished third in 21:59.<\/p>\n
