Jyothi, who trains under Joseph Hillier at the Reliance Foundation Odisha Athletics High-Performance Centre in Bhubaneswar, had bettered Anuradha Biswal's national mark of 13.38, which had stood since 2002.
Digital Desk: India's Jyothi Yarraji broke the women's
100m hurdle national record for the second time in less than two weeks. Jyothi,
who hails from Andhra Pradesh, won the hurdles race at the Loughborough
International Athletics Meet in the UK.
The 22-year-old on Sunday clocked 13.11 seconds under a
permissible wind speed of +0.3m/s to better her own earlier national record of
13.23 that she had clocked on May 10 during the Cyprus International Meet in
Limassol.
Jyothi, who trains under Joseph Hillier at the Reliance
Foundation Odisha Athletics High-Performance Centre in Bhubaneswar, had

That happened a month after her national record effort was not
counted due to wind assistance beyond the legal limit. Last month, she clocked
13.09 seconds during the Federation Cup in Kozhikode, but it was not counted as

+2.0 m/s.
In 2020, Jyothi had also run below Biswal's national record time
as she clocked 13.03 seconds at the All India Inter-University Athletics
Championships in Moodbidri, Karnataka. But it was also not counted as NR as the
National Anti-Doping Agency did not test her at the meet and there was no
technical delegate from the Athletics Federation of India.
