"I'm very happy with Hima's performance in the last 20 days in 200m and 400m event. Before leaving for Poland, Hima got injured in the Asian Athletics Championship at Doha. So we were worried about her but now she has done the remarkable job after recovering from the injury," Nipon said.

Hima bagged five gold medals in the last 20 days at different events. She recently won gold in 400m at the Czech Republic. The 19-year-old clocked the timing of 52.09 seconds to complete the race.
