Lisha Das finishes sixth

Teenage para-cyclist Lisha Das finished sixth and last in the women’s C4-C5 1000m time trial final, ending her impressive run and marking the conclusion of India’s campaign at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games here on Sunday.

Das ended in sixth position, clocking a time of 1:34.410.

The 16-year-old athlete from Tejpur, Assam, who is the youngest member of the Indian contingent in these games, had her task cut out while competing in the C4-C5 classification.

Despite giving her best in a difficult setting, she struggled to match the pace set by the world’s top riders in the time trial, leaving her out of contention for a podium finish.

As Lisha crossed the finish line to complete her event, it also brought the curtain down on India’s fortnight of intense campaign in the Scottish capital.
