16-Year-Old Indian Para Cyclist Lisha Das Exits CWG 4000m Individual Pursuit Qualifiers
Sixteen-year-old Indian para cyclist Lisha Das, competing in the C5 classification with a right-hand deformity, finished sixth in the women's C4-C5 4,000m individual pursuit qualifying round at the Commonwealth Games. Clocking 6:58.000 with an average speed of 34.450 kmph, she did not advance to the medal races. Australia's Tara Neyland and England's Morgan Newberry qualified for the gold medal race. Lisha had previously raised concerns about the absence of her personal coach and female support staff in the Indian contingent.
