Early life

Hima Das was born in Kandhulimari village in the Keot (Kaibarta) community (an indigenous Assamese community) in Kandulimari, Dhing, Nagaon, Assam to Ronjit and Jonali Das, who are rice farmer by profession and she is the youngest of four children.[1] She attended the Dhing Public School and began playing football as a child. She played the sport with the boys at her school and wanted to pursue a career in football. Later, on the suggestion of Shamsul Hoque, a Physical Education Trainer from Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, Das switched over to athletics and began participating in short and middle distance races.[2] Hoque introduced her to Gowri Shankar Roy of the Nagaon Sports Association. Das later qualified for inter-district competition and won two Gold medals at the sports meet.[3]

Das caught the attention of Nipon Das, an athletics coach from the Directorate of Sports and Youth Welfare during an inter-district competition. He asked her to shift to the state's capital Guwahati for training. Hima Das' parents agreed to the proposal despite their reservations. Describing her as a rare talent Nipon Das said that Hima Das' "dedication and hard work set her apart". She then moved accommodation near the Sarusajai Sports Complex and got enrolled to the state academy, which specialised in boxing and football. Later, a separate wing was started for athletics.[2]

Career

Das competed at the 2018 Commonwealth Games in the 400 metres and the 4x400 metres relay.[4] In the 400 metres, Das qualified for the final where she finished sixth in a time of 51.32 seconds, 1.17 seconds behind gold medalist Amantle Montsho from Botswana.[5] In the 4x400 metres relay she was part of the Indian team that competed in the final. They finished seventh, with a time of 3 minutes and 33.61 seconds.[6]

Das became the first Indian track athlete to hold a global title on winning the Gold medal at the World U-20 Championships 2018 at Tampere, Finland, in Women's 400m with a time of 51.46 seconds.Having run a slower first half, Das accelerated on the last 100 meter stretch overtaking three competitors en route to the gold medal.[7] Das is now part of a group of Indian athletes who have won medals at the World U20 Championships, which includes Seema Punia (Bronze, Discus throw), Navjeet Kaur Dhillon (Bronze, Discus throw) and Neeraj Chopra (Gold, Javelin throw).[8][9
