By exceeding the qualifying standard time at Sree Kanteerava Stadium of 13 minutes and 63 seconds, Jyothi Yarraji qualified for the upcoming Asian Games held in Hangzhou in China.
Murali Sreeshankar, who competed in the men’s long jump for the first time since the National Games last year due to an injury, produced several leaps over 7 meters and took home the gold medal with a best effort of 7 points 94 meters. He fell short of the Asian Games qualifying mark of 7.95m. Hima Das finished first in the women’s 200-meter race with a time of 23:07 seconds. The Assamese runner finished first in the inaugural Grand Prix of this year in a time of 23:79 seconds.
Amlan Borgohain, another Assamese runner, won the men’s 100-meter gold with a time of 10:50. With a time of 21 points and 20 seconds, he also set the record in the men’s 200-meter race. Jabir Madari Palliyalil, a Tokyo Olympian, finished first in the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 51 seconds and 61 seconds. Numerous elite athletes opted out of the third Indian Grand Prix. Muhammed Anees Yahiya and Jeswin Aldrin, both long jumpers, did not compete. Men’s 400-meter runners Muhammed Anas Yahiya, Amol Jacob, and Noah Nirmal Tom were also left off the start list.
