Taiwan Athletics Open: Pooja, Jyothi Yarraji, Tejas Shirse win gold- Highlights

Jyothi Yarraji came from behind to win the gold medal with a time of 12.99s

This is Jyothi's second sub-13 race of the year, and she did that in her two successive international events, showcasing her consistency on the circuit.

She was not in the top 2 before the final hurdles, but she showed a brilliant final dash to edge past the two Japanese runners and win the title.

This will also help her rise in the world rankings and will further solidify her World Championship qualification chances.

Jyothi Yarraji is ready for her second international title within 15 days

Running in lane 5, she will get good competition from two Japanese sprinters in her adjacent lanes.
