Discus thrower Kamalpreet Kaur also etched her name in the record books as she threw the disc at a distance of 66.59m mark thus creating a national record for women.

With that throw, she had bettered her own previous best of 65.06m which was recorded at the Federation Cup back in March.The throw at the Federation Cup had helped her to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics 2020.

Another record went Kamalpreet Kaur's way as she became the first woman in the country to breach the 65m mark. To make sense of how good her throw was, the 66.59m distance would have earned Kaur a bronze at the Rio Olympics 2016.

Interestingly, 22-year-old was once passionate about cricket and wants to become a professional cricket player at some point and hopes to do well in that sport as well.
