That is why I push myself each day,” Amlan, who trains at the Reliance Foundation’s high-performance centre in Bhubaneswar, said. Amlan, 23, burst onto the scene last year after winning the senior national open title clocking the fifth India best timing of 20.75s. Since then, coach Hillier has helped him improve his technique and race strategy, especially the first 50 metres and last 30 metres. Amlan’s run at the Fed Cup eclipsed Mohammed Ansas’s previous national record of 20.63s. Coach Hillier is happy with Amlan’s progress so far but feels he is still a work in progress.
