Jyothika Sri Dandi: The Rising Star of Indian Track and Field

When most female athletes in the 400-meter run begin to tire and slow down during the final stretch, Jyothika Sri Dandi of India exhibits a rare burst of speed, providing a significant advantage for her team. Her unique ability to accelerate in the last 50 meters has become a pivotal asset for the Indian women’s 4x400m relay squad, enhancing their prospects for the Paris Olympics.

Coach N. Ramesh, a Dronacharya awardee, notes, “Jyothika Sri’s exceptional finishing speed should give the Indian relay team a crucial edge in the upcoming Olympics.” This talent was evident when Jyothika played a key role in the Indian relay team’s performance at the Bahamas World Athletics Relays in May, where they clocked 3:29.35 and secured a second-place finish behind Jamaica’s 3:38.54. Jyothika ran the final lap, contributing significantly to their qualification for the Paris 2024 Olympics.

On August 9, Jyothika will join Rupal Chaudhary, M.R. Poovamma, and Subha Venkatesan in the semi-final of the relay event, aiming to advance to the final and potentially clinch a medal.

The 24-year-old athlete from Tanuku, Andhra Pradesh, is noted for her impressive physique and determination, traits that have been nurtured by her father, D. Srinivasa Rao. A former bodybuilder turned small businessman, Rao has invested his full attention into supporting Jyothika’s career, even forgoing a job offer from the Railways to focus on her athletic endeavors.

Jyothika, who is currently employed with South Central Railway and pursuing a degree at SRM University, has received substantial support from various foundations. Initially aided by the Gopichand-Mytrah Foundation and now receiving a monthly stipend from the Eenadu-Lakshya Foundation, Jyothika’s training and development have been bolstered by financial and mentoring assistance from figures like senior defense scientist Y. Srinivasa Rao and Coach Ramesh.

Despite facing setbacks, including a missed opportunity at the 2022 Asian Games due to a hamstring injury, Jyothika remains steadfast in her commitment to her sport. Her early promise was evident when she won a bronze in the 1000m at an inter-district tournament at age 13, and she has since achieved national recognition and represented India at major international events.

Her family, particularly her father, eagerly anticipates her performance at the Olympics, hopeful that Jyothika will excel and bring pride to her community and country. As the Indian women’s relay squad continues rigorous training in Jamaica, Jyothika’s dedication and unique athletic abilities remain a beacon of hope for their Olympic aspirations.
