India’s high jump sensation Pooja has been ruled out of the upcoming World University Games and Interstate Championships due to a ligament injury.
It has been reported that Pooja has suffered a Grade-2 ligament tear, which rules her out for most of the season.
Earlier this year, Pooja had claimed gold at the Asian Athletics Championships, in Gumi, South Korea. She registered a season-best 1.89m to claim a stunning win. Her effort also broke her own Under-20 national record.
Before her, Bobby Aloysius was the only Indian woman to win a medal in high jump at the Asian Championships, securing gold in 2000 and silver in 2002.
