New Delhi: Tintu Luka came up with a below par performance but that was enough for her to finish third in women`s 800m race in the Primo Nebiolo Memorial Meeting at Turin, Italy.
Luka clocked 2:02.71 secs behind Cuban Yuneisy Santiusty (2:00.93 secs) and Marta Milani (2:02.65 secs) of Italy. Luka has already crossed the London Olympics `B` mark of 2:01.30 secs though she is yet to touch the `A` standard of 1:59.90 secs. She had clocked 2:01.09 secs in the first leg of the Samsung Diamond League series last month. Luka holds the national record of 1:59.17 secs but is yet to run sub two seconds this season, with London Olympics just a month away. PTI
