Exciting talent Priya Mohan’s stunning new goal

No compromise on education; willing to undergo dope tests any time

She is the country’s fastest quartermiler this year and came close to a 400m medal at the recent Nairobi under-20 Worlds. Priya H. Mohan is now eyeing a bigger goal.

“I want to break 50 seconds in the 400m but it depends on the training and how I execute the race,” Priya told The Hindu from Bengaluru.

That made one’s head spin. For it would not just mean breaking Hima Das’ National record 50.79s, still considered a jaw-dropping time that came with the 2018 Asian Games silver, but going nearly a second faster!
