New Delhi: Indian sprinter Dutee Chand on Monday scripted a new national record in the women’s 100m with a time of 11.17 seconds in the ongoing Indian Grand Prix (IGP) 4 in Patiala. Dutee, however, missed the Olympic qualification time by 0.02 seconds.
“Many congratulations to @DuteeChand for creating a new national record in the women’s 100m with a time of 11.17 seconds at the Indian Grand Prix 4 in Patiala,” SAI media tweeted.
