While introducing her coaches Nabajit Das and Nipon Das, Hima Das said, “The time gap between the 200 m event and the 400 m (mixed relay) was too short and I was feeling the pressure. In the midst of that a couple of persons from Assam were continuously passing some comments on social media which got into my nerves. I was a bit disturbed for which the blunder of the false start took place.”

She also made an appeal to all not to disturb the mental state of players during the course of any event.

Hima Das admitted that she had felt tremendous pressure. ‘Everyone will know later what of kind pressure,’ she said during her facebook live conversation.
