It has been a memorable journey for 22-year-old Y. Jyothi, who will be representing India for the first time in the Commonwealth Games this month-end in Birmingham.
“I am slightly nervous and at the same time excited about the Games,” said Jyothi, the Visakhapatnam-born 100mH national record-holder with a timing of 13.04s.
“I am more confident now. I am determined to keep improving and clock sub-13 to make a huge impact in the Games,” Jyothi said in a chat with The Hindu from Bhubaneswar, where she is training under Britain’s James Hillier at the Reliance Odisha Athletics High Performance Centre.
