>> October 11, 2019

It was a neck to neck at the finish of the men's 100m dash during the 59th Indian Open Track and Field championships today (11 October) at Ranchi.

Eight sprinters completed the race within eighty milliseconds (10.46 to 10.53), and one of the top finishers was a Malaysian sprinter, Jonathan Nyepa.

Jonathan Nyepa has clocked 10.47 (+0.6) to clinch a silver medal, edged out by India's Amiya Kumar Mallick who stopped the clock at 10.46.

Jonathan's season-best of 10.37 that he set in July in Finland is the year's fastest time for Malaysia, and 3rd among Southeast Asian sprinters, after Indonesia's Lalu Zohi (10.03) and Thailand's Jirapong Meenapra (10.34).

He has a PB of 10.28 from 2017 South Korean national championships.

His teammate and the recently crowned Malaysian sprint champion Haiqal Hanafi (SB 10.46) was on 6th, clocking 10.50.

Meanwhile, Malaysia's SEA Games silver medalist Zaidatul Husniah Zulkifli (SB 11.65) was also in the finals of women's 100m and set 11.92 (+1.0) to finish in the eighth position.

India's Dutee Chand won the race in 11.25, her second-best run ever after; he ran a new national record during the semifinals with a time of 11.22.

Malaysia's Ruslem Zikry, 19, has gone sub-52s for the first time in the men's 400m hurdles, which is his new personal best.

He is scheduled to compete in the SEA Games in December.
