Assam: Satisfied With My Performance At CWG, Says Hima Das

Guwahati: Assam sprinter Hima Das said that she was satisfied with her performance at the Commonwealth Games 2022.

She said this while speaking at a press conference at the Vivanta Hotel in Guwahati on August 11.

"I have played with many strong players this time. The weather in Birmingham was very chilly on the day I had my semi-final match. I understand the value of 0.01 microseconds," Hima said.

"All games are equal for me. When I was injured, I had to face a lot of difficulties as we are restricted from consuming all kinds of medicine," she added.

When asked about boxer Lovlina Borgohain, she responded by saying, "Lovlina is a good player. She has also worked very hard. I believe she will make Assam proud in the Asian Games. She will again play in the Olympics."

Hima Das also congratulated Nayanmoni Saikia and praised her spirit for working tirelessly to clinch a gold medal at the Commonwealth Games 2022.

Furthermore, Hima reacted to trolls by asserting that she is least bothered about other people's opinions, adding that some people in society only have the habit of commenting on others.

Earlier, the star sprinter had failed to qualify for the final of the women's 200m at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.

The 22-year-old from Assam finished third in semifinal 2 with a timing of 23.42 seconds. Namibia's Christine Mboma and Australia's Ella Connolly qualified with timings of 22.93s and 23.41s respectively from the heat.

There are three semifinal heats in the women's 200m with the top two in each and the next two fastest advancing to the final.

Hima had qualified for the women's 200m semifinals after winning her heat with a timing of 23.42 seconds on August 4.
