Having risen from the abyss, India sprinter Dutee Chand's name can now be taken in the same breath as that of India's legendary sprinter PT Usha. Dutee became one of the few female athletes from the country to have won more than one medal at the same edition of the Asian Games when she clinched silver in the 200m event yesterday, to add to her 100m silver a couple of days earlier.

PT Usha had won a record four gold medals at the 1986 Seoul Asian Games (200m, 400m, 400m hurdles and 4x400m relay). However, Dutee's journey to the top has been much tougher than probably any other athlete of this generation. Thrown out of the 2014 Asian Games contingent under the IAAF's hyperandrogenism policy, she fought and won a lengthy legal battle and returned to clinched glory four years later.
