Commonwealth Games gold-medallist Krishna Poonia produced an impressive season’s best effort of 62.25m to win gold at Halloween Throws Meet at Portland, United States on 17 October 2011. In the process, she also crossed the A qualifying standard for the London Olympics (62m).
Poonia had already qualified for the 2012 Games by attaining the B qualification standard of 59.50m when she won gold at the Fling Throw Meet at Portland with a throw of 61.12m.
Poonia has been training at the Throws Centre at Concordia University at Oregon, Portland since July 2011 and went all out and crossed the magical mark of 62m in her last attempt. She had two fouls and two other 60 plus efforts in the process.
Her last effort was though below her personal best of 63.69m recorded in April in 2010 at Chula Vista in California, United States.
