Also, Adille Sumariwala, a former Indian sprinter and the reigning head of the Athletics Federation of India, told Newsable, "We are all happy at the historic gold for our nation, and am particularly thrilled that the first athletics medal comes and that too a gold. Athletics is particularly important as it is the purest form of sport. Throw, run, jump etc., are all-natural sports and can generally be done without specialised equipment."
