Digital Desk: Sprinter Hima Das expressed her satisfaction with her performance at the 2022 Commonwealth Games.

She made this statement while addressing a news conference at the Vivanta Hotel in Guwahati on Thursday (August 11).

"This time, I played against a lot of powerful players. On the day of my semifinal match, it was really cold in Birmingham. I am aware of the importance of 0.01 microseconds," Hima said.

"I treat all games equally. We are prohibited from eating any forms of medicine, so when I got hurt, I had to deal with a lot of challenges," she added.

In response to a question regarding boxer Lovlina Borgohain, she stated, "Lovlina shines as a player. She has also put in a lot of effort. She'll represent Assam brilliantly at the Asian Games, in my opinion. She will again play in the Olympics. "

Hima Das also congratulated Nayanmoni Saikia's spirit for working hard to win a gold medal at the Commonwealth Games 2022.

Moreover, Hima reacted to trolls by saying that she isn't very concerned with other people's viewpoints and added that some members of society just have the habit of making comments about others.

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

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

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

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