Annu Rani sets a new mark in women’s javelin
Shot-putter Tajinderpal Singh Toor had set a target of 22 metres even before the National inter-State athletics championships had begun. On Monday, the star from Punjab faltered in that aim but managed to hit the Olympic qualifying mark of 21.10 metres, creating a new meet record in the process. The qualification was not an achievement for the 26-year old, who had managed it a week ago at the 4th Indian Grand Prix. But he was disappointed with his mark here. “I had even set markers at 22m to remind me of my target. But I have been feeling a little tightness in the forearm muscles of my throwing arm for a few days and so could not push myself completely.More Related News
