Jyothika Sri Dandi, the runner who produced the fastest leg for India in the women's 4x400m second Olympic qualifying round at the World Relays Bahamas, couldn't compete at the Asian Games last year due to a knee injury. “Depressed” and cursing her luck, the sprinter from Andhra wanted to leave the national camp and return home.
