Athletes' verdict: Odisha best place to compete in India, says 18-year-old Abinaya Rajarajan
BHUBANESWAR: 18-year-old Abinaya Rajarajan couldn't believe that she had won the women's 100m at the World Athletics Continental Tour Bronze level meet at Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar. But more than the performance what left her speechless was the crowd that came in numbers and filled up the stadium. During the Federation Cup last year, when double Olympic medallist Neeraj Chopra came down here, the crowd was sparse to say the least. But this time around, it was just the opposite. They were loud, colourful and boisterous, not something you would associate with the athletics events in the country and it naturally left a mark on the girl from Tamil Nadu. 'Odisha is the best place to compete in India because it's the first time I'm seeing this many audiences. It's even more than what we saw during the Neera Chopra classic. At first, though, I got very nervous because of so many people but I'm very happy that so many people came to watch us,' said Rajrajan, who was also part of the 4x100m relay team that won silver at the Asian Athletics Championships. Although she spoke of nervousness, there was nothing in sight during the race as she blazed to victory in 11.57s ahead of Shena SS and Nithya Gandhe – both of whom crossed the finishing line in 11.70 seconds. Besides India's U18 and U20 national record holder, others, too, were overjoyed seeing the turnout, including the likes of Annu Rani, who won the women's javelin event with a throw of 62.01m. She said it was the best event that she had ever participated in and the broad smile at the end of her event said it all. Meanwhile, another athlete who just couldn't believe her eyes was Odisha's very own Pragyan Prasanti Sahu. The 25-year-old won the 100m hurdles in a time of 13.74 seconds after Nithya Ramraj crashed with the third-last hurdle while leading the race. Speaking after the event, she said, 'It was amazing to participate in front of the home crowd. I was carrying an injury and wasn't supposed to run but my coach told me to go for it because this is my home ground and I'm so happy to have achieved the win.' While most of the athletes made good use of the energetic crowd, it wasn't the same for Lalu Prasad Bhoi. 'During the 100m final, there were lots of delays because the crowd wasn't going silent since the other events were going on. It's not their fault but the delays did affect my performance,' said a disgruntled Bhoi, who finished fourth with a timing of 10.54 seconds. Hopefully, he will learn from this experience and make sure he is able to perform even when the conditions are not in his favour.

Poll Do you think Animesh Kujur will qualify for the World Championships? Yes No Even as he sweated it out on Friday evening under the watchful eyes of his coach Martin Owens, there were numerous other athletes who egged him on to breach the mark. Later, Kujur spoke about what makes him run like the way he does. 'It's the little things that you need to work on that help you go fast.' Among the other Indian sprinters who will also want to put up an impressive show, is Amlan Borgohain. He was part of the 4x100m relay team that set a national record early this year and grabbed the sprint double at the Indian Open athletics meet in Nadiad, Gujarat.

It wasn't anywhere near his PB of 8.41m and he will be looking to continue his good show in Bhubaneswar, too. Among the women long jumpers, the spotlight will be on Shaili Singh, who will clearly be the favourite in the absence of Ancy Sojan. In triple jump, Abdulla Aboobacker will be the favourite. He is coming into the event having won the title at the Qosanov Memorial with a leap of 16.08m. In the 800m, Mohammed Afsal will look to better his NR of 1:44.93 — achieved in Poland in July this year — and make it to the Worlds, where the qualifying mark is 1:44.50. In men's javelin, the star attraction will be Sachin Yadav, who has a season-best throw of 85.16m. But he will get tough competition from the two Sri Lankan throwers – Sumedha Ranasinghe and Rumesh Pathirage. The women's javelin will see Annu Rani continue her good show. A 60m plus throw came after a long gap — at a Poland meet early this week. Among the foreign contingent, Malaysia's Muhd Azeem Fahmi will be a huge crowd puller. The sprinter holds the national record of 10.09s and also has a time of 10.01s but it was wind-assisted. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!
