Dutee Chand Practicing At Night To Prepare For Athletics Worlds In Doha

India’s fastest woman Dutee Chand has set herself a target of reaching the finals of the women’s 100m dash at the World Championships starting in Doha on September 27 with a personal best timing.

Chand, who has been training at night to match her competition schedule in Doha, said she is determined to make amends for her disappointing performance in the last edition of the event in 2017 London.

“I hope to run my best in Doha, that is my target,” she told PTI. “I could not reach the semifinals last time but I am hoping to reach the finals this time. It will not be easy but I will be really happy if I do that.”
