    Asian U20 Athletics Championships: India’s rising high jump star Pooja received high praise from Union Minister of State for Youth Affairs and Sports Raksha Khadse after scripting history with a gold medal-winning performance at the 22nd Asian U20 Athletics Championships in Hong Kong.

    The young athlete cleared 1.93m to win gold and set a new national record, surpassing the previous mark of 1.92m held by Sahana Kumari since 2012. Her effort also eclipsed the championship record of 1.90m set by Uzbekistan’s Svetlana Radzivil in 2006.

    Congratulating the teenager on her landmark achievement, Khadse said the nation was proud of her accomplishment and hailed her journey as an inspiration for aspiring athletes across the country.
