Indian Heptathlete Nandini Agasara qualified for the World Athletics Championships, but an injury prevented her from participating, according to Adille Sumariwalla. The injury is a huge setback for Agasara as she eyes the Commonwealth Games podium in 2022.
Indian heptathlete Nandini Agasara won't be competing in the World Athletics Championships due to an injury, according to Adille Sumariwalla, the president of Athletics Federation of India. Agasara qualified for the spectacle in July but had to withdraw as she had not yet completely recovered from an elbow injury she sustained at the Asian Championship in May.
This is a significant setback for Agasara, who is eyeing a podium finish at the Commonwealth Games in 2022. The injury forced Agasara to miss the neptune meeting in Austria, ruining her dream of improving her performance. Sumariwalla is confident that Agasara will make a strong comeback in the future. The president of the AFI said that Agasara's focus will now be on the Commonwealth Games to be held in Birmingham, United Kingdom, next year.
The 23-year-old's dream of competing at the prestigious World Championships held at the National Stadium in Tokyo has been put on hold for now. Agasara, who qualified for the World Championships with a national record of 6,420 points, scored 6,169 in the Asian Championships in Qatar.
