Continuing her invincible run, golden girl Hima Das snatched her fifth gold of the month, winning the women's' 400-metre race in the Nove Mesto Meet in the Czech Republic on Saturday, recording a season-best time of 52.09 seconds, reports Indian Express.
Her season-best performance stood at 52.88 seconds before Saturday. Her personal best is 50.79 seconds, recorded at the Asian Games last year.
This is Dhing Express's fifth gold medal since 2 July, after she started her first competitive race in Europe where she soared at 23.65 seconds on her way to gold in the 200 m race at the Poznan Athletics Grand Prix.
Stretching her golden run, the teenage sensation bettered her previous timing by clocking 23.43 seconds on her way to another peak in the 200 m event at the Kladno Athletics Meet on 13 July.
She added one more gold in the 200 m race at the Tabor Athletics Meet, on July 16, 2019, in the Czech Republic with a time of 23.25 seconds
The 19-year-old is specialising on her pet discipline of 400 m sprint and has raised medal hopes for India in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics in athletics, a discipline in which Indians have not had a single podium finish for nearly 120 years.
