    Asian Games: Vithya Ramraj Equals PT Usha's 40-year-old Women's 400m Hurdles Record, Qualifies For The Final

    Hangzhou Olympic Sports Complex:  India's Vithya Ramraj set the 400m track at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Complex ablaze here on Monday by equaling the legendary PT Usha's 40-year-old National Record in the women's 400m hurdles at the 19th Asian Games here on Monday.

    Vithya, who once contemplated quitting athletics altogether as things were not going well for her and was not able to make a breakthrough at the international stage, clocked 55.42 seconds in the heats for the 400m hurdles in Monday's morning session to equal one of the oldest records still existing in Indian athletics.

    Usha, now the president of the Indian Olympic Association (IOA), had set the National Record way back in the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles when she missed the bronze medal by a whisker.
