Now we have women athletes in 100, 200, 400, 800 & 3000sc. Who would hv thought this 3 months ago to have sprinters go to Rio 2016.

I did. I remember commenting after Asian Games how we have decent athletes in all women track events from 100m to 10000m, atleast at Asian level (ofcourse still missing hurdles).

I couldn't find a single pic of her on google. Just one team from Asian Championship where she was a part of 4x400m relay team. Too less exposure given to her by AFI. There must be a lot of such talent in India failing to make it large due to being ignored by national bodies.

Kudos Nirmala Sheoran!

also kirpal did a great 59.64 in the mens discus ................he is a good second to the Vikas gowda .....if he improves a couple of meters he can be an asian threat no chance of olympics quota though..............
