Asian champion Jyothi Yarraji broke her women’s 100m hurdles National record while taking a fighting bronze at the World University Games in Chengdu, China, on Friday night.
A little later, national record holder Amlan Borgohain made it a memorable day for India by picking the men’s 200m bronze with a season-best 20.55s.
Jyothi, the first Indian woman to win a sprint hurdles gold at the Asian Championship in Bangkok recently, also came very close to 2024 Paris Olympics entry standard (12.77s) while clocking 12.78s.
