Sprinter Amoj Jacob: Indian sprinter Amoj Jacob, who is part of the men's 4x400m relay team, credited the month-long stay in the Bahamas for securing the Paris Olympics berth.

The quartet of Muhammed Anas Yahiya, Muhammed Ajmal, Arokia Rajiv and Jacob clocked 3:03.23 and finished behind the American team in the Olympic Qualifying Round 2 of the World Relays Championship in Nassau, the Bahamas.

Coached by Jamaican Jason Dawson and financially supported by the Sports Authority of India (SAI), the team reached the Bahamas a month ahead of the event to acclimatise itself.
