India, July 9 -- At just 22, Animesh Kujur has sprinted his way into Indian athletics history. At the recent Dromia International Sprint and Relays Meeting in Vari, Greece, the sprinter from Chhattisgarh clocked 10.18 seconds in the 100m. He not only smashed the previous national record, but also earned him a new title: India's fastest man. "I didn't realise I had broken the record," he says, adding, "I knew I had run a strong race and thought I was around 10.2 seconds. When my coach confirmed it was 10.18, I was shocked. The first thing I did? I pinned it to my Instagram profile." Does the 'India's fastest man' tag add pressure? "A little, maybe," says the triple national record holder, adding that he is humbled by the tag. "It's a privilege. To see so many people refer to me as India's fastest man is a dream come true and a validation of all the hard work I have put in. It's motivation," says Animesh, who "realised my passion for athletics during the pandemic", and "all I have ever wanted to do since then is do well"....
