15.10.2022 - 17:14 timesofindia.indiatimes.com

Rosy, who turns 25 in a fortnight, lit up the opening day with another sensational performance, exactly 15 days after clearing 4.20m to set up a new national record at the 36th National Games in Gandhinagar.

She had then gone past V S Surekha's earlier national mark of 4.15m set in 2014. Railways' Ravina found redemption after some disappointing performances as she won the women's 20km Race Walk with a new meet record time to boot.

She had started the year by being part of the Indian team which became the first to win a medal at the World Athletics Race Walking Team Championships in Muscat.

With Amlan Borgohain staying away, Delhi's 19-year-old Shivam Vashnav ensured that some of the spotlight would remain on the 100m sprints.
