A Nip Here, A Tuck There: Jyothi Yarraji Banking On Tweaked Technique For Olympics Glory
Reliance Odisha Athletics High: A well-planned preparation, explosive strength, tough mental approach, do-or-die attitude, and a harmoniously rhythmic running style bolstered by a new approach, India's top hurdler Jyothi Yarraji is banking on a newly tweaked running style to produce her best performance at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Usually a smooth and rhythmic runner, Jyothi has added explosive strength to her technique to make up for the lack of aggression and tempered it with hard work and a tough mental approach. Her coach James Hillier further tweaked her style in recent months, bringing changes in her start from the blocks and speed to the first hurdle to make her running more effective.
The 24-year-old Jyothi, who is supported by Reliance Foundation, earlier used to start on her left leg, but Hillier had made her switch to a right-leg start after the Monet Grand Prix event in Finland where Jyothi equalled the national record of 12.78 seconds despite nearly tripping off the final hurdle.
