Siliguri Athlete Mohammad Ali Wins Best Athlete Award, Breaks Record
A young athlete named Mohammad Asraf Ali from Siliguri won a big award at the West Bengal State Athletics Championship.
He's really good at high jump, where he jumps over a bar.
He jumped so high (2.17 meters) that he even broke his own record from before!
It was a tough journey because he didn't have a fancy training place near his home, and his family didn't have a lot of money.
But he kept working hard and won many medals, showing that he's a talented athlete.
He now wants to get even better and compete at the senior level.
Mohammad Asraf Ali from Siliguri won the Best Man Athlete award at the 73rd West Bengal State Athletics Championship 2025.
The championship took place in Calcutta from June 20-22.
Ali won a gold medal in the under-23 high jump, clearing 2.17 meters.
He broke the national under-23 high jump record, exceeding his previous 2.15-meter jump.
Ali, a student, has overcome financial and infrastructural challenges to achieve success.
