Mangalore, June 27, 2012: Sahana Kumari of Mangalore provided the only silver lining on an otherwise dull and drab opening day by equalling the Olympic B qualifying mark of 1.92mts in the women’s high jump final in the Greenko National inter-State senior athletic championship at the GMC Balayogi stadium here on Saturday.

The women’s high jump event started after a two hour delay which highlighted the poor organisation of the meet on the first day. The entire stadium was empty even as Sahana reached her target. In the process she beat the meet record and National record of 1.91mts set by Bobby Aloysius.

The 31-year-old Sahana gave full credit to her coach N. Evgeny of Ukraine. She added that she had been confident of achieving the mark but was frustrated at the long delay in starting the event.
