Jakarta silver medallist plans return to competitions next year
It’s almost two years since long jumper V. Neena took part in a national competition but it looks like nothing has changed. The 2018 Asian Games silver medallist, now the mother of a three-month-old baby girl Alexandra Jo Pinto, feels that she is very fortunate. “We did not have any competition the whole of last year because of the lockdown and this year, I’ve just missed a few. I’m very lucky that way,” said Neena, in a chat with The Hindu, on Monday. “I think I’ve added some 10kg, I’ve been trying to lose that first.My plan is to come back to national competitions next year,” said Neena whose personal best (6.66m) came in 2016.
