Mumbai roads, a training ground for our athletes!
<p>With the curtains coming down on the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, a quirky look at how Mumbai roads can turn training ground for the next Games, four years away</p>


Gymnastics
Pretend the pothole is a floor mat. Spring from one end to the other, doing cartwheels and flips, try landing spot on, splash, even in the middle of a pothole. You can pretend there is a jury, an electronic scoreboard at a traffic light, and spring Nadia Commaneci like over potholes. Go for a perfect 10.

Hurdles
The 400m hurdles or the 110m hurdles, fly over the pothole, hurdler in a hurry style. You can even pretend it is a race, dash towards the pothole, stick a hurdle in it and sail over, fluidly like P T Usha of old used to do. Practice effortless grace and pretend the honking of cars is applause at a stadium.
