Chaos due to negligence of officials

On one hand, while the country was celebrating the success of Ansi, on the other hand, a huge and shocking negligence of the officials was also seen on the field. The brunt of this big mistake was borne by Tamil Nadu runner R. Harshita had to suffer. The officials made a major mistake during the women’s 400 meter hurdles.

player had to run alone again

Actually, due to the mistake of the race officials, as many obstacles as should have been placed in Harshita’s race lane were not placed. According to the rules, there should have been 10 obstacles, but only 9 obstacle poles were installed. After discovering this technical glitch, the officials asked Harshita to run alone again.

Harshita was very tired due to running again and her rhythm got disturbed. The result was that despite so much hard work, she could not qualify for the finals of the competition. This great negligence of the officers is now being discussed everywhere.
