New Delhi, June 21: India’s Ronaldo Singh created a national record in 200m Flying timetrial by breaching the 10 seconds barrier on way to the semifinals of men’s Elite sprint race event on the fourth day of the Asian Track Cycling Championship here on Tuesday.
World junior champion and Asian record holder Ronaldo, who had bagged the country’s first-ever international medal in the 1km time trial event by claiming a bronze on Monday, clocked 9.946 seconds to create the national record.
His earlier national record was 10.168 seconds, which he had set in UCI Track Cycling Nation Cup at St Petersburg, Russia in July last year.
“Tomorrow is a big day for me as I will perform in one of my favourite events, I’m ready to give my personal best to earn the medal for India. This will also show me my preparedness for the upcoming Commonwealth Games,” said Ronaldo. (PTI)
