Commonwealth Games 2018: 5 Indians who punched above their weight

#4 Hima Das

Hima Das achieved a personal best of 51.32 seconds

It was 18-year-old Hima Das's first Commonwealth Games, and she sprinted off to create history. Pitted against seasoned campaigners, Hima found her footing among senior athletes and achieved a personal best of 51.32 s in the 400 m race.

Although showered with ill luck, as she had to nurse a toe injury after the completion of her race, Das prevailed to realize that she has a long, long way to go.

Given the kind of success she has achieved this time around, at just 18, she will feel assured, just as we do, that she has a long way ahead of her and closer to victory.
