World Relays Dream Dashed? Star Sprinter Jyothika Sri Dandi Snubbed
Jyothika Sri Dandi, a leading Indian quarter-miler and Paris Olympics participant, faces the prospect of missing the World Relays. The Athletics Federation of India (AFI) surprisingly rejected her entry to the National Federation Senior Athletics Championships.
This decision casts a significant shadow over India’s relay prospects. Dandi was instrumental in securing India’s qualification for the World Relays.
The AFI’s rationale for this exclusion remains unclear, sparking concerns about transparency and selection processes within the federation.
The incident raises serious questions about the AFI’s support for its athletes, particularly those who have represented India on the global stage.
This snub could not only affect India’s performance in the World Relays but also severely damage the morale of aspiring athletes. The AFI needs to address this controversy swiftly and transparently to maintain public confidence and support for Indian athletics.
