The 100 meter race record is one of the most prestigious achievements in athletics, with the current world record held by Usain Bolt at 9.58 seconds. In India, the national record stands at 10.26 seconds, set by Amiya Kumar Mallick. While India has yet to produce a world champion in this event, there is growing interest and investment in developing sprinting talent across the country.
Indian sports equipment manufacturers have started producing specialized running spikes and training gear to support aspiring athletes. Local companies like Nivia and SS are creating affordable yet high-quality running shoes with advanced cushioning and grip technology. These products are designed specifically for Indian track conditions and climate, making them popular among domestic athletes.
Additionally, Indian nutrition companies are developing supplements and energy products tailored for sprinters. Brands such as Fast&Up and MuscleBlaze offer protein supplements, energy gels, and hydration drinks that help athletes maintain peak performance during training and competitions. These locally manufactured products are becoming increasingly popular due to their affordability and suitability for Indian dietary preferences. |
