NEW DELHI, Sep 4: India’s top sprinter Amlan Borgohain will be added in the Indian team for the Asian Games after he was left out of the initial list of participants issued by the sports ministry, Athletics Federation of India (AFI) president Addille Sumariwalla said on Monday.
Borgohain’s name was missing in the 65-member athletics team for the Asian Games issued by the sports ministry a few days ago but Sumariwalla said it was because the Assam athlete could not touch the qualifying time set by the AFI for the Hangzhou Games.Borgohain won gold in the men’s 200m race during the National Inter-State Championships in Bhubaneswar in June which served as the selection event for the Asian Games. But his performance of 20.71 seconds fell short of Asian Games qualification time of 20.61 seconds. (PTI)
