Abdullah, Chumki fastest in business

Army top summer table

Sports Reporter
Abu Abdullah was crowned the new speed king while Samsunnahar Chumki retained her throne after their wins in the 100-metre sprints of the 8th National Summer Athletics competition at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur.
The three-day summer meet ended yesterday with Bangladesh Army reigning supreme bagging 18 gold, 13 silver and 7 bronze followed by BJMCwith 11 gold, 10 silver and 12 bronze.
525 athletes from 39 teams around the country contested in 36 disciplines.
Army's Masdudul Karim was the best all-round athlete in the competition after clinching four gold medals in the 110 metre hurdles, 4x100 metre relay, 200 metre sprint and 400 metre hurdles events.
For Abdullah, the 23-year old Army man, it was a day to behold after he took the men's 100-metre
title with a time of 10:40 sec. Sadly for Abdullah, the feat will not go into the record books as it was handtiming. However, he did equal the hand-time clocked by Golam Ambia in the 1991 SAF Games.
Abdullah's teammate Shahidul Islam (10.80 sec) finished second while Abdullahel Kafi of BJMC won the bronze clocking 10.90 sec.
"A Dream came true for me today although I was expecting it. I had finished first in the open trial on September 4. I owe this success to my coach Kitab Ali," said Abdullah who bettered BJMC sprinter Shamsuddin's effort in March this year.
While Abdullah was basking in glory, women's champion Chumki was disconsolate after failing to achieve her target of setting a new national mark to follow up her record in the 200-metre event on Tuesday.
The BJMC girl raced to the finish in 11.80 sec, which incidentally matched her own previous best. Bangladesh Krira Shikkha Protisthan (BKSP)'s Fouzia Huda Jui was a distant second with 12.11
sec while Sumita Rani Das of BJMC became third with a timing of 12.50 sec.
The country's fastest man and woman, who both hail from Noakhali, were looking forward to making an impression in the coming Asian Athletics Championship to be held in Philippines' capital Manila from September20to23.
"My first target is to better my timing in Manila in both the 100 and 200 metres. I couldn't take partin my favorite 200 metres in this competition due to an injury," said Abdullah.
Chumki said that she was frustrated after working so hard for the national record. But vowed to bounce back.
"I was eyeing a 11.6 sec finish. I had worked very hard over the last three months but failed in the end. Hopefully, I can achieve my target in Manila." said Chumki. The athletes and officials were all unanimous in expressing their displeasure over the hand-timing process, which doesn't hold any value in international athletics.
"We need electronic timing system otherwise we can never judge our performances," said Abdullah.
Bangladesh had installed electronic timing device during the 1993 SAF Games but it later got damaged due to poor maintenance.
