After clinching the double, Jahir said, “I grew a bit tired after creating the record (in 400m) Friday, my muscles became weak. I also had the opportunity to create a record (in the 200m Saturday) but my last steps weren’t quite upto the mark. Actually it takes two-three days to recover after a 400m race.”Jahir wasn’t all that disappointed after missing out on the opportunity to create a national record in the 200m. BKSP’s Jahir Raihan was the star of the National Athletics Championship on the second day at Bangabandhu National Stadium in Dhaka Friday as he broke a 32-year national record in the 400m.https://t.co/nzJFzmGErI#BKSP #JAHIRRAIHAN #JAHIR #RAIHAN #ATHLETICS #BANGLADESH #BAF #NAC — Dhaka Tribune Sports (@Sport_DT) January 25, 2019He said, “I am not frustrated with this (record). I want to do even better in future.”After doing well consistently in the local arena, Jahir is now eyeing good displays in the international scene.
