Srabani Nanda, currently the most active Indian athlete in the world, has emerged as the fastest Indian woman this year. While the rest of the Indians are desperately hunting for competitions, the 30-year-old from Odisha clocked a personal best 11.36s while running against some of the world’s best at the NACAC New Life Invitational Meet in Florida, the US, on Saturday. The 100m final was run as two races and Nanda, who has been training in Jamaica for the last few years, was sixth in her race and 13th overall. Jamaican Elaine Thompson, the Rio Olympics 100 and 200m champion, won the event in 10.87s while American Tianna Bartoletta, the long jump gold medallist in Rio, was second in 10.96. Nanda had clocked a faster but wind-assisted 11.29s in the preliminary round.More Related News
