So proud of Pooja! A 1.90m high jump is a huge personal best and a great sign for women's athletics. Also, Shaili Singh jumping 6.24m is fantastic. More power to our women athletes!

Great performances, but I have to ask - where was the media coverage? Such a dominant show at the JLN Stadium should be headline news, not buried in sports pages. Our athletes deserve more spotlight.

The depth in the U20 categories is very promising. Kiran K's 13.80s in the 110mh is a great time for a junior. This series is doing exactly what it should - building a strong pipeline for the future.

Toor saab is back with a bang! 21.03m is a monster throw. He is our sure-shot medal hope for the Asian Games. The competition in shot put needs to improve though, the gap to 2nd place is big.

It's heartening to see athletes from so many states and institutions – Railways, Police, JSW, NCOEs. This shows a healthy, decentralized system. Special shoutout to Mubassina from Lakshadweep in long jump! 👏
