Priya Mohan finishes fourth in 400m final

NAIROBI: India's Priya Mohan came up with her personal best but had to be satisfied with the fourth place in the women's 400m at the World Athletics U-20 Championships here on Saturday.

Nigeria's Imaobong Nse Uko (51.55) took gold ahead of Poland's Kornella Lesiewicz (51.97) and Kenya's Sylvia Chelangat (52.23), all coming up with their personal best efforts to take the top three positions.

Priya, who was in lane 2, had pulled near to them in the home straight but the three found some reserves of energy and managed to stay ahead. It was a great effort by Priya as she had missed the entire season in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic and has only participated in a couple of events this year.

Meanwhile, Rohan Kamble of India clocked 52.80 in men's 400m hurdles semi-final to finish seventh. IANS
