Abdullah, Beauty shine

Staff Correspondent, Ctg
Abu Abdullah of Bangladesh Army and Nazmun Nahar Beauty of Bangladesh Jute Mills Corporation (BJMC) became the fastest man and woman when the PHP 30th National Athletics Championships ended al the MA Aziz Stadium yesterday.
Although Abdullah won the most coveted title, he was a little unhappy with the official timing. Hafizur Rahman of BJMC and Shahidul Islam of Army bagged the silver and bronze respectively clocking 10.60 and 10.80 seconds.
The country’s fastest man Abdullah disagreed with the official
record that showed him with a timing of 10.40 seconds.
"In fact, my timing was 10.35 second but they changed it later for reasons best known to them," claimed Abdullah while talking to journalists after die race. He won the title at the Summer Games title with a similar timing.
Meanwhile, former fastest man Golam Ambia and top athlete Sufia Khatun, who were both judges, argued dial Abdullah’s actual timing was between 10.36 and 10.38 seconds and the final timing of 10.40 second was recorded as per competition niles.
However, Abdullah dismissed it and said there was no such system or rule of timing in the international arena.
"I can improve my timing further if given the opportunity to practice abroad."
There was no such controversy in the women's 100 metres despite the fact Beauty was competing in her first-ever short sprint.
She won the title with a timing of 11.90 seconds followed by Fouzia Huda Jui of BKSP (12.0 seconds) and Sumita Rani of BJMC (12.70).
"My original event for last nine years was the defending 400 metres but I wanted to take part in the 100-metre to test my talent," said the elated BJMC athlete.
The victory capped a brilliant showing for Beauty as she bagged highest five gold medals. Earlier she won the 200m, 400m and was part of the 4x100m and 4x400m relay team.
Abdullah added the 100m gold to his 200m and 4x100m relay. Army's long distance runner Anisur Rahman also claimed three golds in 800m, 1500m and 3000 metres steeplechase.
The three-day competition, which saw only new record, finished with Bangladesh Army reigning supreme with a haul of 17 golds, 10 silvers and nine bronzes. BJMC followed with 14 gold, 15 silver and three bronze medals, while third place went to Bangladesh Navy who collected three golds, one silver and two bronzes.
The only new national record went to Army's Azharul Islam who broke discus mark with a throw of 44.04m on Friday. It bettered the 44.00-metre set by Saidur Rahman way back in 1981.
