Animesh Kujur (Image TOI Photo) Kolkata : After making his debut at Diamond League in Monaco in 200m in the U23 category last week, Animesh Kujur had his eyes on qualifying for World Championships to be held in Tokyo in September. However, he couldn't give his best at Spitzen Leichtathletik Luzern at Stadion Allmend in Lucerne, Switzerland, on Tuesday night. Running in Heat A, the 21-year-old finished sixth with a timing of 20.79 seconds. It was quite a below-par show considering he ran 20.55 seconds in Monaco and has a PB of 20.32 seconds. As a result, overall he finished ninth in the standings. Manikanta Hoblidhar also competed in another heat and finished second. His time though was just 21.36 seconds as a result of which he was 16th overall. Earlier in the day, Kujur, along with four other Indians, competed in the 100m and all of them ran in the Heat C. Kujur did well to cross the finish line in second place clocking 10.28 seconds — his third-best personal time — that also helped him finish eighth overall.

His coach Owen Martins, who trains him at Odisha Reliance Foundation Athletics High-Performance Centre (HPC) in Bhubaneswar, however is well aware that it's going to take some time. "It's a slow process. It's still 2 metres and it's a long way off. Athens wasn't a fast track. So there's a few tenths of a second there. Also, in an earlier race, the wind was 1.7 m/s as opposed to 0. 5 m/s when he ran. So you can get down to 10.12 seconds just by changing the wind. But it's a gradual process and again, that's not really what we're trying to aim for," said Martins.
