Amlan Borgohain, a 24-year-old youth from Assam, broke the national record in men’s 100 metres race at the inter-railway athletics championships held at Rae Bareli in Uttar Pradesh. Assam boy Amlan Borgohain broke the national record by clocking 10.25 seconds. However, it is not anywhere close to the entry standard (10.00s) for next year’s World Championships in Budapest. Amlan Borgohain is one of the finest sprinters in the country. The previous 100-meter record was held by Amiya Kumar Malick with a time of 10.26
“There is a process. If the process is followed it will be ratified. It is an absolutely super performance by young Amlan,” Adille Sumariwalla, president of Athletics Federation of India told Sportstar.
