Pooja Singh’s 1.90m clearance in New Delhi wasn’t just a personal best—it was a continuation of a journey built on resilience, return, and quiet belief.

At the Indian Athletics Series–3, she rose above the bar and the moment, delivering a performance that now places her among Asia’s top U20 high jumpers. But to understand this leap, you have to look back. Just months ago, she was returning from an ankle injury, using the Khelo India University Games 2025 as a reset point. There, she cleared 1.77m to win gold and break the meet record in her first competition back.

Earlier in the year, she had already made history—winning gold at the Asian Championships with a personal best of 1.89m, becoming only the second Indian woman to do so

Now, with 1.87m, 1.89m, and 1.90m in quick succession, the progression is clear.

And behind it all, moments like these—the quiet support, the sacrifices, the small gestures—are what carry her forward.
