This 24-year-old sprinter has now become India’s fastest man by running 100 meters in just 10.25.
Amlan’s previous best record was of 10.34 seconds that he clocked last year at the National Open in Warangal. This young sprinter also holds the 200m national record and now has added the 100m record to his name as well.
Amlan used to play football, but his mother asked him to quit since he would frequently get hurt while playing the sport.
At the same event, Himashree Roy clinched the women’s 100m in 11.42s while R. Rajesh (46.73s) and Kiran Pahal (53.91s) secured the men’s and women’s 400m titles.
