Asian Athletics: Visualisation Of Race During Downpour Keeps Jyothi On Track To Gold
Asian Athletics Championship: As she warmed up for the 100m hurdles at the Asian Athletics Championship in Gumi, South Korea, Indian hurdler Jyothi Yarraji's thought process and preparations were rudely halted by a heavy downpour. With her warm-up interrupted as the evening session was delayed by two hours, the Indian national champion kept working on her mind, keeping it ready for the race, whenever it happened.
"As it started to rain, I kept visualising how I would go about the race, what I would do on the track, and kept thinking about the race. I also had a thorough warm-up routine to prepare myself for the race," Jyothi said in a virtual interaction after the race.
Once the sky cleared and the evening's programme was restarted, Jyothi did not get distracted by the unexpected break and went on to win the women's 1oom race with a Continental Record time of 12.06 seconds.
