Nisar Ahmed completed 100 meters in 10.85 seconds, and 200 meters in 21.73 seconds.
Nisar had broken the under-16 100 m records that was set by M S Arun in 2013 by 0.01s. He was even 0.3s faster than Chandan Bauri in 200m, who had set the mark in the same year.
His father Mohammed Haq says that “This is where we live and we still harbour the dream of seeing our son make it big in athletics. It’s been over one-and-a-half years since I borrowed Rs 28,000 for my son’s athletics career. It was to buy spikes, sports gear and for his diet. I haven’t been able to repay it.”

His father, Mohammad Haq, pedals rickshaws and mother, Shafikunisha, washes utensils in people’s houses for a living. Despite struggling to make ends meet, they manage every possible extend to help their son.
He further added that “He is very dedicated and hardworking. The amount of effort he puts into everything is something even I can’t do.”
