By IANS News July 18, 2024 • 09:58 AM View: 225

There is success at the end of adversity for all those hard-working people who have a positive attitude. Indian hurdler Jyothi Yarraji found a silver lining in troubled times when she suffered an injury in May, just a couple of months before the Olympic Games in Paris.

Jyothi was left a bit scared when she suffered a hip flexor injury while competing in Finland in May but the 24-year-old National Record holder in women's 100m hurdles, maintained a positive attitude and worked hard in the gym, working on her upper body, even though she could not walk and run.
