Animesh Kujur breaks National Record in men’s 100m
Animesh Kujur broke the National Record in the men’s 100m during the second heat at the Dromia International Sprint & Relays Meeting in Greece on Saturday.
The 200m National Record-holder clocked 10.18s — the first Indian to go below the 10.20s mark — to win Heat 2 at the World Athletics Continental Tour Silver event.
He broke the previous NR of 10.20s set by Gurindervir Singh in March earlier this year at the Indian Grand Prix 2025 in Benglauru.
The final for the men’s 100m will take place tomorrow. The event is crucial for the youngster to gain important ranking points towards Worlds Qualifying.
Other Indian athletes, including Manikanta Hoblidar, the men’s 100m relay team and Moumita Mondal, will be in action on Sunday.
