Dutee Chand Won Silver Medal
Dutee Chand second in Asian Game 2018 |
Dutee Chand joined hands with his superb
companions, P T Usha, in the list of athletes who have won more than one medal
in Asian Games 2018 because they got
a silver pair in their kitty after reaching the second place in women's 100
meter dash here today.
Dutee Chand crossed the finishing line in 22.20
seconds behind Bahrain's Edidong Odiong, who won gold in 22.96. Bronze went to
China's Wei Yongli (23.27).
This
22-year-old Odisha runner has been an excellent performer, which was not
allowed to compete under the IAAF hyperandogenism policy in 2014-15 due to
which Dutee Chand missed the 2014
Commonwealth and Asian Games. Dutee fought
a case against the policy and won in the mediated court for the game.

In the
recent amendment of the IAAF's hypersensitivity policy, Dutee Chand has been excluded from its authority.
The
legendary Usha won four gold medals in the 1986 Seoul Asian Games, in which she
won 200 meters, 400 meters, 400 meters hurdles and 4x400 meters relay.
Jyotirmoi Sikdar, (800 meters 1500 meters) won two medals in the 1998 Bangkok
Games.
