Paris Olympics 2024 Women's 100m Hurdles: Jyothi Yarraji finishes 7th; to play in repechage round on August 8

In a disappointing result for Indian athletics, hurdler Jyothi Yarraji finished seventh in Round 1 of the women’s 100m hurdles on Wednesday (August 7). Competing in Heat 4, Yarraji clocked a poor timing of 13.16s, which was way higher than her personal best of 12.78s.

With this finish, Jyothi Yarraji will now get one more chance to qualify for the semis, as she will play the repechage round on August 8. The top three from each heat qualify directly for the semis along with the next three best timings across all heats.

The remaining players move to the repechage round to get another opportunity to make it into the semi-finals.
