Srinu Bugatha, Sudha Singh aim to attain Olympic qualifying mark in New Delhi Marathon
India's top long-distance runners Srinu Bugatha and Sudha Singh will be aiming to attain the Tokyo Olympics qualifying mark during the sixth edition of the New Delhi Marathon on Sunday. "Due to the pandemic I have missed out on a couple of opportunities but I have also recorded my personal best of 2:18.36s this year which gives me the confidence to attain the qualifying norm," he said. Sudha, a former Asian Games gold medallist in 3,000 steeplechase, also said that she would be targeting the national marathon record of 2:30.00s set by OP Jaisha to break into the Indian squad. Besides the duo, a number of the country's top runners, including Rashpal Singh, Bahadur Singh Dhoni, Hetram and Nitendra Rawat among men and Jyoti Singh Gawte, Jigmet Dolma, and Tsetan Dolkar among women, will be seen in action.
