The Nabil Bank Third Nepalgunj International Swimming Championship began in Nepalgunj, Banke, on Saturday, with Nepalgunj Sub-Metropolitan City Mayor Prashant Bista inaugurating the two-day competition. Organised by the Nepalgunj Swimming Club, the event had completed 17 events by 3 pm on the opening day, while Sagarmatha Club dominated the early results.
Competition Opens in Nepalgunj
The championship brings the focus of the swimming competition to Nepalgunj for two days. Mayor Bista formally inaugurated the event on Saturday, marking the start of the third edition of the international championship. The competition is organised by the Nepalgunj Swimming Club and carries Nabil Bank’s name as its title sponsor.
The opening-day programme moved into competition after the inauguration. By 3 pm, 17 events had been completed, providing an early indication of the teams’ performances. Sagarmatha Club stood out in the results reported up to that point, although the available information does not specify individual event winners or the club’s exact tally.
Sagarmatha Club Leads Early Results
Sagarmatha Club’s strong start was the main feature of the first day’s results. Its early dominance emerged as the championship’s events progressed, with 17 completed by mid-afternoon. The results at that stage reflect only the opening portion of a competition scheduled to run for two days.
The championship’s opening day therefore combined the formal inauguration with a substantial programme of events. With the competition continuing beyond Saturday, the initial results offered a snapshot of the standings rather than a final outcome. No overall winner or closing results had been reported by 3 pm on the first day.
Two-Day Championship
The event is the third Nepalgunj International Swimming Championship, and its organisation by the Nepalgunj Swimming Club places the local club at the centre of the competition. Mayor Bista’s inauguration gave the event an official opening, while the Nabil Bank sponsorship is reflected in the championship’s full name.
The available details confirm that the competition began in Nepalgunj on Saturday, was scheduled to last two days and had completed 17 events by 3 pm. Sagarmatha Club’s early performance was the clearest competitive development reported from the opening day. Further results from the remainder of the championship were not included in the information available at the time.
