Assam has a new icon - Hima Das. She is known as 'Mon Jai', which roughly translates to 'winner of hearts'. Moments before racing to a commendable 6th place finish at the 400m final, Hima looked into the camera, folded her hands into a namaste, then mimicked Usain Bolt's pre-race motion of the hands while saying 'Mon Jai'. Hima Das told The Bridge before she had left for Australia that thoughts of medals or finishing first were far from her mind. What she had left unsaid, of course, was that she would be winning many hearts. At an athletes' event on the day before the opening ceremony, Hima was seen dancing as if there was no tomorrow, spreading her infectious energy into contingents from other countries, who also started dancing after seeing her. Hima also obliged an Australian policewoman who wanted to take a selfie with her, continuing her flamboyant dance moves at the same time. Sanjita, on the other hand, maybe not used to any crowds at her events, had no expression except for a tiny smile after her last lift. A tiny smile that caused a ripple in her home state. Another moment when all Indian hearts soared was after the badminton team gold medal match, when the large Indian representation in the crowd spontaneously stood up and started singing the national anthem. After Naman's first match, the general opinion from boxing experts was that he had a technique that was very attractive but that he would get found out against tougher boxers. During his quarterfinal bout though, most of the match commentary was on how soon Naman would be seen at the Olympics. This weekend, he will be earning his first CWG medal.
