The 22-year-old sprinter clinched a silver each in the women’s 100m and 200m in the ongoing Jakarta games. With the double, Dutee joined her illustrious compatriots such as PT Usha in the list of athletes, who have won more than one medal at the Asian Games. 

“I had to work very hard for this result. It is huge that I won two medals. Personally, I like my 100m medal more. I focussed on that event more and I lost it by a very small margin,” said Dutee during a felicitation ceremony. Dutee had clocked a timing of 11.32 seconds in her 100m event.
