HIMA DAS -"THE GOLDEN GIRL OF INDIA"
Until the 2018 Commonwealth Games, Hima Das was an unknown entity. This girl was born on 9th January 2000 in the Kandhulimari village, near the town of Dhing in the state of Assam to Ronjit Das and Jonali Das. The small-town girl wanted to play football but her raw speed while running across the rice fields of Assam convinced a school coach that she can try out athletics. This hope, turned her to bring out her career in the stream of sports. She became the first Indian athlete to win a gold medal in a track event at the IAAF World U20 Championships.
Despite securing sixth in the 400m at the Commonwealth Games, Hima Das achievements are appealing. At the Federation Cup in Patiala in March 2018, Hima Das won the 400m gold in 51.97 seconds. July 12, 2018 was marked as her day, because she first showed the world her ability and fired the imagination of Indian fans thirsty of finding a world-class track-and-field star.
