It was a sad moment for Hima Das, the sprinter from Assam popularly known as Dhing Express for her speed, as her hopes to return to the track and field was dashed after she failed to reach the finish line at the 200m event at the Indian Grand Prix-1 held in Bengaluru.
She began the race but could not complete the last 50 meters at the event held at the Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru. It is however, not clear why she walked away without completing the race. Reports are suggesting that it could have been an injury forcing Hima to quit the race before the finish line.
