Now
The TV channels are wonderstuck at the success, shocked at the levels of performance, the running abilities on the track seemed unbelievable... seconds split the mind... and the mind blowing headlines flashed...
Hima Das is India's first track and field gold medalist at the IAAF World Championships
She needs no introduction
Her tears of excitement has become the silent alphabet for the nation.
Her fire ignited many embers of the country's little hearts.
She banged the fears that parents dreaded the most.
She wrote her definition of FREEDOM
She is the tall post for FREE will
She is the HIMA, the eighteen year old from the least known town, Dhing in Assam's Nagaon district, presented her motherland with the first ever gold at a world track event. She is also a socially conscious teenager. She took lead in demolishing country liquor vends in her village Dhing and its neighbourhood. Appreciate her guts to do anything and everything that she finds right.
HISTORY CREATED
The 18-year-old Hima Das, shot like an arrow on the track and clocked 51.46 seconds, edging out Romania's Andrea Milkos (silver) and America's Taylor Manson (bronze).
A girl from the unknown hamlet, Dhing, has a father who believed in her abilities. Ranjit Das, a small farmer who grows rice and struggles for day to day menials. She is the youngest of six siblings. The close association with nature brings out the best in an individual. Hima is a proof for that. Her ability to run while playing, while stealing the fruit from the orchards, playful bets with friends brought out the best in her. The hamlet nurtured her sibling.
Though she opted to play football, her speed was noticed by Nipon Das last January. He suggested her to shift to track and went on to become her coach. Due to the absence of a running track, she opted for the muddy football field. Despite the lack of facilities, she won bronze in the state meet. Nipon is an athletics coach with the Directorate of Sports and Youth Welfare. He convinced Hima to shift to Guwahati for better facilities.
“She does not get overawed by anybody and does not care about her opponents. In every race, her goal is to beat the best with better timing,” says her coach.
She started using spikers only a couple of years ago. So don't blame the lack of facilities to be an achiever.
She eventually qualified for the women's 200m event at the Asian YOuth Championships in Bangkok. She finished Seventh there.
Her timing of 24.52 seconds qualified her for the World Youth Championships in Nairobi. She took the fifth place with the time of 24.31 seconds.
Further bettered her performance with a gold at the Asian games test event in Jakarta with her career best of 23.59 seconds.
NOW
With her success at World U20, Hima made herself a favourite for the gold at next month's Asian Games.
Hearty best wishes to you dear Golden Girl!
