News: Sprinter Duttee Chand speaks exclusively to PS

Star Indian sprinter Dutee Chand said she is determined to further better her 100m national record and achieve the qualification standard of 11.15s for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. A fortnight after failing to qualify for the women's 100m semi-finals at the World Championships, Dutee completed a sprint double at the Nationals, clocking the fastest 200m time by an Indian this year, with a 23.17second burst. The 23-year-old also shattered the 100m national record with a time of 11.22 seconds during the semi-finals on way to the gold medal in Ranchi. She credited her success at the National Championships to her preparation for the Doha World Championships.
