I feel Nagendra has summed it very nicely.In my opinion,she is a World Class Level Prospect.Yesterday also,when she she started to accelerate in the last 100 m,you could see that she has lot more in store and perhaps she could start accelerating with 150m-175m to go.She ran conservatively to win the Gold.She has lots more in store.In my opinion,she has the talent to run at around 50 sec mark.
She is a Special talent.I feel with time and proper training(Doing Gym work,Proper start),this girl could be a medal prospect for 2024 Olympics.
@Ronny ; In Commonwealth Games, Hima Das reached the Finals of 400 meters. That was a big feat as Commonwealth Games Athletics is almost like Olympics. Barring USA, Commonwealth Games has giants of Athletics like Jamaica, canada, England, Australia and Hima Das didnt panic and gave a wonderful performance.
No Sparta,here she will be competing in 400m and 4*400m relays as well.
We might have an outside chance of a medal in 4*400m relays as well.Lets see what happens.Another 400 m iIndian Jisna Matthew reached the Semi-Finals of Women"s 400m event.
In Asian games,she will be competing in 200 m and 400 m .She will be a medal contender in both 200 and 400m and also in relays.
@ maddie.. she has caliber to win an Olympic medal.. but Hima needs to improve..
In 2020, she will be 20. There are athletes who won Olympic medals at the age of 20..
but if she can qualify for SF in 2020, that itself is an achievement... lot of competition in 400m .. considering current scenario, 49.5 sec also doesn’t guarantee Gold Medal...
Yes. She has to be very consistent and run below 49.5. I was reading regarding the Peak performance of 400 meters runners and generally they peak around 24-30 age. Going by this data, she will be great prospect for 2024 Summer Olympics.
