New Delhi, Sep 22 (TIWN) Dutee Chand is part of the Indian contingent that will be going to the 2019 IAAF World Athletics Championships to be held in Doha, Qatar which starts on September 27.
The tiny middle eastern nation is known for its scorching summers, with temperatures often hitting 50 degrees celsius in the capital city of Doha. At the time the World Championships will be held, temperatures are expected to be hovering around 35 degrees Celsius but Dutee is not too worried about it. “The climate I will find there will be very similar to what is there in Bhubaneshwar. My event will be happening in the night and so I am preparing my body accordingly,” Dutee told IANS on the sidelines of an event for Fitness First. The 23-year-old sprinter, who entered the Worlds team by virtue of an invitation from the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), will be taking part only in the 100m event in Doha.
