She played brilliantly in the tournament and her throw was well above the benchmark (63.5m) required to qualify for the upcoming Tokyo Olympics.

Kamalpreet Kaur, who plays for Railways, broke the previous national record which was held by Seema Antil. This is the first time that the 65m mark has been breached by an Indian player in this event. Senior athlete Seema Punia grabbed the second position in the competition as she only managed to reach 62.64m.
