Athletics
By Abhijit Sen Gupta
Sri Lanka's H. Rohan Pradeep Kumara (128) winning the men's 400m in the Asian athletics Grand Prix 2003 in Hyderabad on Wednesday.
Susanthika created a new meet record in the women's 100m by clocking 11.30s to break the record of 11.52s by fellow Sri Lankan Damayanthi Darsha, her old rival in Sri Lanka athletics. The race began with Lyubov Perpelova of Uzbekistan taking the early lead but by the halfway mark, Susanthika overtook her and the rest of the field. The Sri Lankan ace then maintained her lead all the way to the finish. Second-placed Khubbieva Guzel of Uzbekistan, with 11.35s, and Viktoriya Kovreva of Kazakhstan (11.45s), who finished third, also broke the previous mark. In the women's 800m, it was an easy victory for Tatyana Roslanova who led from an early stage. She finished first in 2m 2.05s to erase the record of 2m 4.13s set by Wang Yuanping of China last year. Here too, Uzbekistan's Zamira Amirova, who was second, and Tatyana Orisova of Kyrgystan (third) also went past the previous mark. The women's 400m event saw Kazakhstan's Svetlana Bodritskaya hold off Damayanthi Darsha for a well-deserved gold while in the women's shot put, Singapore's Du Xianhui, who was ranked No. 2 in Asia last year, took the gold.
