The bronze medal was won by Daneshwari Ashok Thakkanavar from Karnataka clocking 11.90 seconds.

It was no less than a historic day for sports in Assam yesterday too, as ace boxer Lovlina Borgohain and cricketer Jintimani Kalita once again brought laurels to the state. 

While Borgahain clinched her maiden gold medal at the IBA Women’s World Boxing Championship, Jintimani Kalita was part of the winning team Mumbai Indians who lifted the Women's Premier League 2023 trophy.
