"If the event would have been held in the evening, I would have performed well but it was held at 2300 hours which is my sleeping time,” Chand said in an audio message released to the media. Adding, ‘I was nervous while on the track at my debut Olympics’.

It all wound up between 10.96 to 12.62 sec. And she ran wonderfully clocking 11.69 sec. Congratulations @DuteeChand pic.twitter.com/SDf9Rolrnb
