Jyothi Yarraji smashed the women's 100m hurdle national record for the second time in less than two weeks while winning the event at the Loughborough International Athletics Meet in the UK on Sunday.

The 22-year-old Jyothi clocked 13.11 seconds under permissible wind speed of +0.3m/s to better her own earlier national record of 13.23 she had clocked on May 10 during the Cyprus International Meet in Limassol. The Andhra athlete, who trains under Joseph Hillier at Reliance Foundation Odisha Athletics High Performance Centre in Bhubaneswar, had bettered Anuradha Biswal's national mark of 13.38 which had stood since 2002. That happened a month after her national record effort was not counted due to wind assistance beyond legal limit.
