"I am happy for the gold but my target was the Meet record," Devyaniba Zala 

She won the gold, clocking 53.53 at the U-23 Open Athletics Championships in Patna. Zala has been steadily improving in the 400m and aims to focus solely on Asian and World Athletics qualification next year with her PB of 53.20. The next season looks exciting for Indian athletics, especially in the women's 400m, with athletes like Kiran Pahal, Jyotika Sri Dandi, Aishwarya Mishra, and Devyaniba Zala competing against each other. The qualification mark for World Athletics in the women's 400m is 50.75. #athletics #indianathletics #athlete #sports #worldathletics #worldchampionship
