Was Contemplating Suicide After Missing Olympics Qualification, Reveals Harmilan Bains
Myngken Christian Higher Secondary School: Harmilan Bains is no stranger to challenges. After not losing a single individual race in 2021, she went through a knee surgery which kept her out for 10 months. Upon her return to action, she went on to win the silver medals in the women’s 800m and 1500m categories.
Once a national record holder in the women’s 1500m, Bains revealed the fact that she was in depression after failing to qualify for the Olympics and also contemplated suicide at a point but used her situation as an example and sent an inspiring message to the young athletes of the nation.
“My message is enjoy your sport, don't be so stressed, because I was under stress after missing my Olympics. I was almost in depression. Thoughts were coming in my mind, like suicide and just quitting everything, run away from my city. My message to the parents is to let your child do whatever they want to and to the youngsters it is never too late to change your sport, your profession just enjoy whatever it is you’re doing,” Harmilan Bains told IANS.
