Tamil Nadu`s Asian Games-bound R Vithya Ramraj came agonisingly close to shattering the legendary PT Usha`s 39-year-old women`s 400m hurdles record as she clocked 55.43 seconds during the Indian Grand Prix (IGP) 5 on Monday.
The 24-year-old Vithya`s time was just one hundredth of a second less than Usha`s 55.42 which she had clocked while finishing fourth in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics.
