Federation Cup | Emergence of new sprint queen Dhanalakshmi
The Hindu
Dutee Chand has been the undisputed Indian queen of the track in the 100m for long. But 22-year old Dhanalakshmi from Tiruchi had other ideas when she landed here for the Federation Cup.
On Tuesday, she snapped Dutee’s winning streak extending back to 2015 with a scorching 11.39-second run to win the title. It was just a tad slower than her personal best of 11.38 set in the heats the previous day, a time that made people sit up and take note. Tuesday proved it wasn’t a fluke. It was a huge leap from her previous best of 11.48, set at the Tamil Nadu Open Championships in January.More Related News
