Hyderabad: K Naresh Kumar of Andhra Pradesh scorched the track with a blistering run in men’s 100m metres but Harmilan Bains stole the thunder by shattering Sunita Rani’s long-standing National record in women’s 1500 metres on the second day of the 60th National Open Athletics Championships at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Hanamkonda here on Thursday.

Twenty-three-year-old Harmilan, who is a start-to-finish specialist, romped home in 4:05.39 to erase the mark set by Sunita Rani at 4:06.03 in the Asian Games in Busan in 2002. She also shattered OP Jaisha’s Meet Record of 4:11.83 set in Delhi in 2006. Delhi’s KM Chanda gamely shadowed Harmilan Bains until the Punjab runner sped away at the bell to win by a sizable margin.

Harmilan Bains after setting national record in the 1500m at the 60th National Open Championship 2021, in Warangal on Thursday.

Undefeated in eight national-level 1500m races since January 2020, Harmilan has shown rapid progress, improving from 4:14.68 in the Khelo India University Games in Bhubaneshwar last year to 4:08.70 and 4:08.27 in the Federation Cup (March 16) and Indian Grand Prix 4 (June 21) respectively in Patiala. On Thursday, she capped it with a National mark.

Naresh Kumar’s 10.30 seconds win came with the second fastest time by an Indian in 100m this year behind Gurindervir Singh’s 10.27 seconds in Patiala on June 26. It also gave the 23-year-old from Guntur a place among the five fastest sprinters in Indian history. Quite inevitably, it gave him the Meet Record, improving on Anil Kumar’s 10.37 seconds set in 2001.

The race produced personal bests for Assam’s Amlan Borgohain and Harjit Singh (Services) with times of 10.34 seconds for both, a photo finish separating them by six-thousandths of a second to secure the silver medal for the former. To their credit, the trio was able to script great runs despite a couple of false starts by Services’ KS Pranav and Satnam Singh.

Delhi teenager Taranjeet Kaur, who was knocked down by a car and broke a collar bone just over two years ago, claimed the title of the fastest woman of the meet with a blazing run in a personal best time of 11.50 seconds to leave the seasoned Archana Suseendran (Tamil Nadu) in her wake. Taranjeet Kaur knocked two-tenths of a second from her previous best of 11.70 clocked in winning the Federation Cup Junior (U20) title in Bhopal on January 25 this year.

The men’s 1500m race saw an upset of sorts as little-known Parvej Khan (Haryana) stunned the two-time Asian Athletics Championships medalist Ajay Kumar Saroj (Railways) tasted his first defeat at the National level since August 20, 2019. Parvej Khan ensured that he kept pace with Ajay Kumar Saroj at the bell and took over with 300m left, opening up a good lead.

Yaman Deep Sharma (Rajasthan) emerged the best all-rounder with a 55-point victory over Usaid Khan (Services), riding on his 182-point lead earned on the first day on Wednesday through the Long Jump, High Jump and 400m sprint. Hard as Usaid Khan tried through 110m Hurdles and Javelin Throw on Thursday, there was no stopping Yaman Deep Sharma.

Hepathlete Swapna Barman (Railways) won the women’s High Jump competition while Sahil Silwal (Haryana) showed that he could be the Javelin Thrower to watch in the future as he won the men’s event with a final throw of 77.79m that saw him catapult from the fourth spot to the top of the podium.

BRONZE SHOW: The Telangana quartet that won bronze in the women’s 4×100 metre relay event

The quartet of J Deepthi, G Nitya, M Nakirekanti and A Nandini gave the first medalfor hosts Telangana when they claimed the bronze in the women’s 4×100 metres relay run. They ran in 47.18 seconds to come third behind Railways (45.84s) and Tamil Nadu (48.06s).
