I can still run much faster: Amlan Borgohain
Borgohain, who bagged two medals at the National Open Athletics Championships, believes he could’ve improved his timing. His confidence played a huge role in his victory.
James Hillier, Head Coach at Reliance Foundation Odisha Athletics HPC in Bhubaneswar, where Amlan has been training since April 2020, was also impressed with the improvement that Borgohain showed at the event. Hillier took note of the sprinter’s hard work and capabilities and is looking forward to watching him compete in Europe next year.
Hillier also credited the sprinter for maintaining his class and not letting the experience factor meddle in his confidence. Borgohain was the only non-international in the race, but excelled with a fantastic performance.
