Cyprus International Athletics Meet 2022: Andhra Pradesh Girl Breaks National Record in 100M Hurdle

Jyoti Yarraji of Andhra Pradesh won the gold medal in the women's 100m hurdles for India at the Cyprus International Athletics Meet on Tuesday. She crossed the finish line in 13.23 seconds. Anuradha Biswal held the previous national record of 13.38 seconds since 2002.
