The Paris Olympics: Asian Games silver medallist Jyothi Yarraji won the women’s 100m hurdles event at the Motonet GP athletics meet by matching her national record but missed out on the Paris 2024 Olympic Games qualifying mark by .01 second.

Competing in her third outdoor competition of the season on Wednesday, Yarraji won the race after clocking 12.78s. The Paris Olympics qualification mark is pegged at 12.77s

Interestingly, the 24-year-old also fell short of meeting the Olympic entry standard by the same margin at the World University Games in Chengdu, China last year.
