India's reigning Asian champion and record-breaking 800m national champion Tintu Luka is on a high having clocked her season's best 2:00.61 to win a silver at the Josef Odlozil Memorial Athletics Meet in Prague in Czech Republic earlier this month. Luka represented India at the 2012 London Olympics, but crashed and burned towards the end of her semi-final race, just as she did last year at the World Athletics Championship in Beijing.
