2. Hima Das
India’s young track athlete Hima Das, who made it to headlines by winning India’s maiden gold at the 2018 IAAF World U20 Championships will miss out the competition due to injury issues. Das was a solid gold competitor for India in the event but due to a hamstring injury she suffered in April 2023, she had to pull out. Speaking of the previous edition, Das registered a second-place finish in the women’s 400m race.
Not only this, but the 23-year-old was also a part of the gold medalist women’s 4x400m relay team as well as the silver-winning mixed 4x400m relay team.
