Pooja Singh’s Seventh-place Finish Caps India’s Three-medal World Athletics U20 Campaign
World Athletics U20 Championships: National senior record holder Pooja Singh finished a disappointing seventh in the women’s high jump final as India wrapped up their World Athletics U20 Championships campaign with three medals.
The 19-year-old Pooja entered the competition as one of the top contenders after setting a national senior record of 1.93m earlier this year. However, she could only clear 1.84m in the final. She then failed all three attempts at 1.87m and had to exit the competition.
Australia’s Izobelle Louison-Roe won the gold medal with a clearance of 1.92m. Hungary’s Lilianna Batori and Spain’s Aitana Alonso took silver and bronze, respectively, after both cleared 1.90m.
