Indian Grand Prix-5: Vithya clocks personal best; shocks Himanshi and Aishwarya in women’s 400m

The Hindu  

Tamil Nadu’s Vithya Ramraj shocked Himanshi Malik and Aishwarya Mishra as she won the women’s 400m in a personal best 52.40s at the Indian Grand Prix-5 athletics in Chandigarh on Sunday. The women’s quarter-mile results – the event was run as two races, A and B – should give a big worry to the selectors, regarding the composition of the 4x400m relay team ahead of this month’s Asian Games in Hangzhou. Himanshi, the fastest quarter-miler in the Asiad relay team with her 51.76s at the recent inter-State Nationals in Bhubaneswar, could only finish 15th overall with a shocking 57.59s while Aishwarya was eighth. Abha Khatau impresses Abha Khatau, who is not in the Asiad team, beat the two – Kiran Baliyan and Manpreet Kaur – who figure in the squad for Hangzhou with a quality 18.02m effort while winning the women’s shot put.
