In her first competitive 200m race of the year, the 19-year-old Assam runner had clocked 23.65 seconds on her way to gold at the Poznan Athletics Grand Prix in Poland on July 2. After that, she won her second 200m gold at the Kutno Athletics Meet, also in Poland, on July 7 with a time of 23.97 seconds. On July 13, she won her third 200m gold at the Kladno Athletics Meet in the Czech Republic with a time of 23.43. What really got everyone talking was how she improved her time with every win.
Amul is not the only celebrating her spectacular feat as social media is abuzz with praise for the ‘Golden Girl’, not just for winning back-to-back medals but also for donating her salary for the people affected by the Assam Floods.
