Rare Gold in Athletics
India wins first athletics gold at Asian Games 2026 with a 3:29.69 in women's 4x400m relay.
Awesome 👏
Women of India 🇮🇳 shine bright.

From a truck driver’s daughter in Coimbatore to Asian Games history.
Vithya Ramraj grew up in Meenakshipuram with her identical twin Nithya. Their father Ramraj drove extra shifts. Their mother Meena enrolled them in the Erode sports hostel from Class 7 after a PE teacher spotted them — the family could not afford training otherwise. Hockey first. Athletics next. Years of struggle, a sports-quota BBA, and a twin who later paid for her training when money ran out.
At Asian Games 2026 she delivered: 🥇 Women’s 4x400m relay (anchor) 🥈 Mixed 4x400m relay (anchor) 🥉 Women’s 400m hurdles — 54.75s, National Record
She finally broke PT Usha’s 42-year-old mark and became the first Indian woman under 55 seconds. Three events. Three medals. Anchor legs that counted.
What a campaign. What a journey. 🫡

Love this…Elon took his PayPal payout and poured into Tesla and SpaceX. Bezos spent 30 years building Amazon and now aiming moonshot.
We need to celebrate entrepreneurs - in failure or success. From “look how well so-and-so is doing” to truly appreciating risk and rewarding it.

Replying to @nsitharaman
@nsitharaman shows she's a real DON by powering through her budget speech with protests going on in the background in parliament....10 mins into the speech, and the protestors have given in...let's hope she actually delivers much needed respite to the Indian economy
