On the other hand, M Anas bagged the men’s 300m race with a timing of 32.41 seconds.
“Glad to have won the Gold in men’s 300m at the Athleticky Mitink Reiter 2019 in Czech Republic in a timing of 32.41 secs,” the racer tweeted.
Anas, who is a National record holder, has qualified for the 400m event of the World Championships which will be held in Doha later in September-October. Hima, however, is yet to achieve it.
In the meantime, the Athletics Federation of India will be organising the Indian Grand Prix-VI in Delhi starting from September 5 to provide its track and field athletes with a final opportunity to qualify for the World Championships.
Male athletes have the chance of competing in the 400m hurdles, pole vault, long jump, javelin throw pole vault, shot put, triple jump, and 4x400m relay. The women will get an opportunity to compete in the long jump 100m, 200m, and 400m events.
