Rachita Mistry (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Rachita Mistry (born 4 March 1974) is an Indian sprint athlete from Mumbai, Maharashtra. She holds the current 100 metres national record of 11.38 seconds set at the National Circuit Athletic Meet held in Thiruvananthapuram on 12 August 2000. Rachita set her personal best time of 11.26 s for 100 metres in Bangalore on 5 July 2001 and in the process she broke P. T. Usha's long standing mark of 11.39 s set during the 1985 Asian Championships in Athletics in Jakarta. However, following some controversies, the Amateur Athletic Federation of India (AAFI) did not ratify the national record on the ground that no dope tests had been carried out during the meet.
