PANAJI: Many have played lagori or seven stones during their younger days or at least tried their hand at it.

If some had persisted with the traditional sport known by different names in different parts of the country, chances are you can win a medal for the state at the National Games later this year.
During a joint meeting between the state government and the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) early this week in Delhi, sports minister Govind Gaude recommended the inclusion of three sports, including lagori, as a medal sport.
