<p>Due to the great exertion, Rajesh, who had given his all throughout the marathon, was being taken away on a stretcher. “We weren’t even aware that Ramesh hadn’t joined us for a time. But as soon as we realized, we hurried back to find Ramesh. A stretcher was being used to remove him. We enquired as to his well-being.</p>
<p>Amoj remembers that he just kept repeating, “lactic, lactic.” Rajesh was experiencing terrible cramping and vomiting as a result of his excessive effort.</p>
<p>Unexpected highlights of the Budapest Worlds was the relay team’s back-to-back sub-three-minute races in the semifinals and championship. The squad had minimal hopes going into the tournament, but they surprised everyone.</p>
<p>“Honestly, nobody was hopeful about us. We have disproved the notion that we are only there to participate, adds Ramesh. The Indians’ performance even impressed their rivals.</p>
<p>“Netherlands, the Jamaicans came to congratulate us after the race. Rajesh Ramesh: “They told us this is how you run a race. This achievement served as atonement for the coach Raj Mohan MK.</p>
<p>After the team’s dismal showing at the last World Championships, he had received heavy criticism. The squad underwent a significant shift to get to where they are now.</p>
<p>“We have been putting a lot of effort into this. Nobody thought Indians could go faster than three minutes, but we accomplished it twice. We truly tried to win the medal in the finals, adds Mohan. Fast lap times from every member of the relay squad contributed to their outstanding result in the heats.</p>
<p>They received support and encouragement from their coach and the foreign coach, which increased their confidence for the future. “We have been predicted to run a 2:59 since 2016, but it has never occurred. After the heats, Anas had informed the media that it had occurred today.</p>
<p>Despite their success, the squad was aware that the last race lay ahead. For the final, they were unable to replace runners as their rivals could. As they readied themselves for the greatest challenge, rest and water were essential. “All of us were dead.</p>
<p>All we did when we got back to the hotel room was drink water. Amoj explains, “We attempted sleeping, but the adrenaline surge made it extremely difficult. The relay team’s incredible path from being written off to winning had been one that was marked by emotions and tenacity.</p>
