India's 800m runner Tintu Luka may not have clinched the gold as promised by her coach and mentor PT Usha, but she has impressed Usha's good friend and former teammate Shiny Wilson.
"She is still very young. This is one of her first major international competitions, so she lacks experience," Shiny, who is here as a representative of the Tamil Nadu Athletics Federation, told MiD DAY.
Speaking of the race, Wilson said: "She paced the race well. She showed she has the talent to succeed on the international stage, but again she lost out on a better finish in the end due to her inexperience. More international exposure will definitely see her do even better at the next Asian Games," said Wilson.
