Ram Baboo clocks career-best time, breaches Paris Olympics 2024 race walk qualifying standard at Dudinska meet

Ram Baboo, a bronze medallist at the Asian Games, is the seventh race walker from India to clear the qualifying standard for the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

At the Dudinska 50 2024 athletics competition in Dudince, Slovakia on Saturday, India’s Ram Baboo won the bronze medal in the men’s 20km race walk event. In doing so, Ram broke the qualifying standard for the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

The 24-year-old Baboo met the 1:20:10 Paris Olympics qualifying standard for the event by clocking in at one hour and twenty minutes.

With a time of 1:19:41, Cesar Augusto Rodriguez of Peru won the gold medal, and Ecuador’s Brian Daniel Pintado took home the silver in 1:19:44.

Baboo even achieved a new record for himself at Dudinska 50. In January of this year, he set a personal best of 1:21:04 in the 20km race walk category at the 2024 South Asian and Indian Race Walking Championships in Chandigarh.

Ram Baboo, a bronze medallist at the Asian Games, is the seventh race walker from India to clear the qualifying standard for the 2024 Olympics in Paris. The accomplishment was previously attained by Arshpreet Singh, Vikas Singh, Paramjeet Bisht, Suraj Panwar, Servin Sebastian, and Akshdeep Singh.
