Performance training centre

Paris Olympic Games: Young athlete Jyothi Yarraji has always been a fighter, constantly battling her way through difficulties to become the first Indian to qualify to participate in 100m hurdles at the upcoming Paris Olympic Games. Jyothi has been undergoing high-level preparations at the National High-Performance Training Centre in Poland, working with the Polish Olympic team, as she gets ready for the mega event.

The 24-year-old hurdler from Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh, who comes from an impoverished background as her father is a security guard and her mother a cleaning staff at a local hospital, believes the Olympics are going to be a war and she has to perform at her absolute best in Paris so that she does not have any regrets later in her life for not giving her utmost.
