“I’m nervous! And under a lot of pressure,” said Dutee Chand of the Wasity at the end of June when he sat helplessly hoping that the world ranking No.
44 in 100m and No.
51 In 200 million it would be enough for him to make both Olympics.
Without international events, Dute must depend on two national meetings to reach the time of qualification.
He set a national record at the Marquee event at the India Grand Prix with a time of 11.17 seconds in May but finished the four sad ones on the 100m event in the athletic championship between countries in June.
But it is better for the sign itself still makes it 0.02 seconds too far from the Olympics.
However, Dutee’s prayers were answered in early July when the ranking proved to be sufficient for Tokyo’s bed on both events.
And on July 30, when the Dutee Chand marked to heat 100m at the Olympic Stadium in Tokyo, he would represent more than just an Indian flag.
Dutee’s first call at the Olympics was forgotten because he failed to qualify for the semifinals.
But he hopes that the Sojourn will be different.
“I have been practicing very hard,” Dutee, the Rio Sojourning ended in a disappointing tone because his 11.69 seconds was not enough to make him go beyond the heat, to Ti.
“My target is to reach 11.10 (within 100m) and I’ve approached it.
I’ve got 11.13 in the training.” To increase the record time setting of 0.07 seconds in less than two months is a difficult task.
And his shot on the second attempt has a barrier to the pandemic to cross.
“I became nervous because all the meetings I was targeting for my qualification were canceled,” Dutee said in the interaction of Patiala.
