Indian sports fans will have mixed feelings about long jumper Anju Bobby George getting the gold medal for the women’s long jump in the 2005 Monaco World Athletics Final. On Tuesday, Anju said she was happy to be upgraded to a gold medallist after a frustrating nine-year wait. With the medal, Anju became the first Indian track and field athlete to win gold in a major world event.

The International Amateur Athletics Federation (IAAF), the international governing body for athletics, upgraded Anju following a dope violation by a Russian competitor called Tatyana Kotova.
