Golden high Pooja, Nandini and Gulveer add to India's tally

The New Indian Express Hubballi

|

May 31, 2025

ALMOST two years ago, a 16-year-old high-jumper from Haryana had shown glimpses of what she could do after leaping 1.82 metres for a silver medal at the Junior Asian Athletics Championships in Yecheon.

- CHANDRA PRABHU @Chennai

Cut to May 2025, that same girl, now 18, has gone a step above and won her country gold at the senior Asian Athletics Championships with a jump of 1.89m. This is Pooja, the latest high jump exponent of the country. And she is quietly filling the void left by Sahana Kumari.

This is one of three gold medals India won on Day 4 of the Asian meet in Gumi, South Korea, with heptathlete Nandini Agasara and long-distance runner Gulveer Singh adding to India's medal tally.
