'Comeback queen' Anjali Devi registered a stunning personal best time to win the women's 400m gold in the National Inter-State Championship on Friday, after returning to the track after nearly four years following an injury lay-off. With this win, Anjali has assured herself a spot in the Asian Games-bound Indian contingent.

The 24-year-old Anjali, who last ran a 400m race in October 2019 at the Indian Open Championships in Ranchi, clocked 51.58 seconds to beat the up-and-coming Haimashi Malik (51.76s), also from Haryana, for the gold medal at the Kalinga Stadium on the second day of the competitions.
