CM Naveen, Dr. Acyuta Samanta congratulate Dutee on wining BronzeBhubaneswar: Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik and Dr. Achyuta Samanta, founder of KISS and KITT, congratulated Dutee Chand on wining the Bronze medal in the Women’s 100 meter event in the ongoing 22nd Asian Athletics Championships here at Kalinga Stadium on Friday.

Dutee, who defied the rain and the recent news about the return of her ‘Gender Case’, clocked 11.52 seconds to clinch the bronze medal. Kazakhstani sprinters Viktoriya Zyabkina and Olga Safronova shared the gold and silver medal respectively.

“Odisha is proud of you,” the CM said in a tweet.

“Glad Dutee Chand won Bronze in Women’s 100m event. Sometimes it is destined. In 2013, she won bronze too in the same event. Good luck for tomorrow,” Dr. Samanta, who has played a vital role in the life of the ace sprinter, wrote on his Twitter and Facebook page.

Chand, who is a student of Bhubaneswar-based KIIT University, is also slated to take part in the Women’s 200 meter and 100X4 meters event in the Championships.
