There is something special about Hima Das. The Assamese registered a season-best time of 52.09s, winning the women’s 400m gold in Nove Mesto nad Metuji Grand Prix on Saturday evening.The victory marked the runner’s fifth gold in less than 19 days.
Hima has been running in a string of 200m in the last few weeks but this was her first 400m after having retired midway in quartermile heats at the Asian championships, Doha in April.
Not only that, the 19-year-old donated half of her monthly salary to Chief Minister’s Relief Fund for relief efforts towards Assam’s devastating floods. Hima also urged everyone to make donations for the same.
Earlier, she had won gold in the 200m event at Tabor Athletic Meet on Wednesday. Before that, Das had bagged 3 gold at different events that included a gold medal at Klado Athletic Meet, Kunto Athletics Meet, and then at Poznan Athletics Grand Prix.
Here is how the Twitter reacted on Hima Das’ 5-star feat :
