Shillong: Rising star arm wrestler, Jackson Lyngdoh of Dong Ktieh, Nongrah, Shilong, who bagged the second prize at 65 kg category in the state Arm Wrestling Championship in January this year, is all set to participate in the 40th National Arm Wrestling Championship, 2016 to be held at Nagpur in Maharashtra from May 20 to 24.
Lyngdoh will be part of the 29-member arm wrestling contingent belonging to Meghalaya Arm Wrestling Association, who is eyeing to roam home with the glittering championship trophy.
The arm wrestlers will compete in the men, women and physically challenged categories organized by Indian Arm Wrestling Federation.
