After rewriting history with a strong jump of 6.64m to break Anju Bobby George's 23-year-old record at the Federation Cup, long jumper Shaili Singh said that it is just the beginning of her journey. The 21-year-old broke the record held by her coach and legendary Anju Bobby George at the National Federation Cup Athletics, held at Maharaja's College Ground in Ernakulam. Shaili leapt 6.64m, surpassing Anju's 2002 mark of 6.59m. "Breaking Anju ma'am's long-standing Federation Cup record is a moment of pride for me. Her achievements have always been my inspiration, and to follow in her footsteps means everything. This record has stood for 23 years because of how exceptional she was, and I'm honoured to now be part of this legacy. This is just the beginning of my journey, and I hope to continue making my country proud with many more milestones to come," Shaili said.

"I thought it was a very good race and a little bit surprised over how easy my legs were feeling out the last bend," said Warholm, who won gold in the 400m hurdles at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and silver in Paris last year.
