Nagoya: Last edition’s silver medal winner 100m hurdler Jyothi Yarraji on Saturday pulled out of the first-round heat race here after “feeling pain” during warm-up, a top official of the Athletics Federation of India (AFI) said.
Yarraji was earlier named in the 75-member Indian athletics team after getting fitness clearance at the last minute. She was carrying a minor stress on her knee.
Two athletes from Andhra Pradesh were selected to represent India at the 20th Asian Games. Jyothi Yarraji was to compete in the women’s 100m hurdles, and Mogili Venkata Rama Reddy, was chosen for the men’s 800m event.
