Under-20 World Athletics: Hima Das scripts history, wins gold in 400m

This is exciting news, India's first ever track gold in a World Championship event. She is from a small village in Assam and learnt the basics of sprinting only a couple of years ago, took up 400m only a few months ago !!!! She is just 18 years old and after Neeraj Chopra (javelin) we have unearthed another gem in track and field in these last 2 years or so. AFI bastards screwed over Chopra by getting rid of his German coach (the GOAT javelin coach that too, who took special interest in our boy and guided him to the elusive 85m+ club...85m means medal in any Olympics and Gold in a few editions even as recent as London, Bejing) LINK and I am sure those sons of hoes will do the same to Hima ..... but as well wishers/fans we can only hope for the best. Athens silver medalist Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore who is in charge of sports needs to protect these kids from AFI's evil designs and get them the best trainers and facilities, if these 2 can shine in 2020/2024 Olympics it may herald a new era for India in these disciplines.....much much bigger news than our ODI victory today. :isalute:

Hima Das had the fastest time going into the tourney and ended up with gold. tremendous

 

  Beant has the fourth fastest time going into the 800m...would require something extra to end up on the podium

lol at people who talked about genetics :fail:

 

there's another kid, 800m Beant Singh who has done well in the past. Let's see how he does

when a country wins first medal in history then someone who has done it must be something special.

comeback win from behind makes it special. reminds me of the 2010 CWG 4x100 relay that India won.  that was a tremendous race. pity though that they tested positive for doping afterwards.
