Guwahati, Sept 8 (IBNS): India’s sprint sensation Hima Das received injuries so she has pulled out of the IAAF Continental Cup which has started in Czech Republic from Saturday.

Addressing a press conference in Guwahati, Hima Das said that she couldn’t take part in the prestigious tournament due to injuries.

“I  have participated in many competitions. I need to take rest. I have some injuries,” Hima Das said.

Hima Das had run many international level tournaments from the Commonwealth Games to the World Juniors and the Asian Games in this season.

The new track and field sensation further said that, she is now aiming to show her better performance in the next Olympic Games.

“I always try to improve my timings. It is still two years time left for the Olympic Games and I will try to improve my timing during this period,” Hima said.

On the other hand, Hima said 400 meter race is her favourite event and she will concentrate more in the event.

“I will also run in 200 meter. But 400 meter is my favourite. An athlete will focus more at that event where he or she will get more profits. So I will concentrate more in 400 meter,” Hima said.

Hima nicknamed “Dhing Express” returned to her home state Assam on Friday and the Assam government accorded a red carpet welcome on her arrival.

She would likely to visit her native village Kandhulimari, near Dhing in central Assam’s Nagaon district on Sept 11.
