Salwa naser

Zahra Zarei Manoujan: Prachi Choudhary reflected on her Asian Games bronze medal in the women's 400m race, calling her achievement something she found hard to believe but gave everything for it.

Prachi has tasted success in the team events previously, having won a silver with India's 4x400m relay team at the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou and had earlier claimed relay silver at the 2019 Asian Championships as well, but the Asiad bronze marks a significant achievement for the Uttar Pradesh-born sprinter.

"I still can't believe it. This is a moment I have worked towards for a long time. I gave everything I had in that race, and to see it turn into an individual medal for the country means so much to me. It hasn't fully sunk in yet," said Prachi.
