Ancy primed for bigger leap at Asian athletics meet
The New Indian Express Nagapattinam
|May 19, 2025
In her quest for Anju Bobby George's national record of 6.83-metre in Athens 2004, long jumper Ancy Sojan has faced roadblocks in the form of injuries.
The last 18 months for the 24-year-old has been a roller coaster ride. From going into depression to jumping her personal best of 6.71m at Bengaluru in 2024, shows how strong she is mentally. And this is what she would need when she competes at the Asian Athletics Championship (AAC) in Gumi, South Korea later this month. This is her second Asian meet after she debuted at the 25th edition in 2023.
With the Asian athletics event just about a week away, an upbeat Ancy is raring to go. She feels the exposure tours would help in her preparations.
