Mandeep is my favorite striker in the Indian team. He's like a street player who can just whack it in from anywhere. So basically our Indian team is unbeaten on this Euro tour!
This is impressive indeed! Hima Das is 400 m specialist right? I remember her Gold in Poland was for 51.47. what's her status on that right now? Also breaking a record by .04 seconds isn't really called shattering lol
@ Ronny Hima das improved after that U-20 gold and her best timing is 50.79 in Asian games 400m final when she competed against current world champion Salwa Eid Naser. It is National record and Hima das won silver medal. After that, she had injury and never near her best timing.
Reg Dhanalakshmi 200m timing, 23.26s is Federation cup record and not a national record. N.R holder is Saraswati Saha (22.82s) . Dhanalakshmi has the ability in sprint and will succeed in both 100m & 200m
