Odisha ace sprinter Dutee Chand was out from the World Athletics Championships on Saturday in Doha after she finished seventh with a time of 11.48 seconds. Dutee’s timing puts her out of contention on both counts. It is also 0.22 seconds lesser than her best time, which is also the national record in the category.
In a heat that included Jamaican reigning Olympic champion Elaine Thompson, Dutee had the fastest reaction time which led her to having a good start. She was ahead of the pack at the halfway stage but then fell behind in the final stretch.
