When a small Indian team left Mumbai at the last minute for the World Athletics Under-20 Championships in Colombia, Barath Sridhar did not think the side would win a relay medal, as the country had done in last year’s edition in Nairobi.
“We did not have a coach, no physio either, so we did not think we had a chance,” Sridhar told The Hindu from Cali on Thursday evening, a few hours after India’s silver medal show in the 4x400m mixed relay.
