Krishna District Collector A.Md. Imtiaz felicitated World rapid chess champion, Koneru Humpy, on being conferred with the ‘Sportswoman of the Decade’ (individual non-Olympic sports) at the Sportstar Aces Awards.
“You are a role model and a huge inspiration for the youth. We wish you continued success stories at the highest level,” Imitaz told Humpy when the latter called on him along with her father-cum-coach Koneru Ashok.

Imtiaz also presented Humpy with his book ‘Covid Musings’.
Ashok feels his daughter will be motivated to do even better after such recognition. “Only a few days before the Sportstar Aces award, Humpy was also presented BBC’s Indian Sportswoman of the Year Award. All these should only make her realise the dream of being a world champion in the classical format,” he said.
