India's 18-year-old athlete Hima Das has won the gold medal in the 400 meters race of the IAAF World U-20 U-20 Championships held in Tampere City, Finland. Hima finished the race in 51.46 seconds and named it Gold.
Learn about special things about world champions: It is notable that Hima is the first Indian player to win the Gold Medal in a track competition globally. Earlier, no junior or senior female or male player in India won gold in the world championship.
( The biggest thing is that Milkha Singh and PT Usha, famously known as Flying Sikhs, were not able to do this. )

Hima, who wanted to become a football player, used to play soccer with the first boys and wanted to make her identity as a striker. Just two years ago, stepping on the racing track and coach Nippon Das identified the talent and shot him.
