Kerala long jumper Ancy Sojan broke Anju Bobby George’s 22-year-old national record while managing weight gain caused by Polycystic Ovarian Disease, which was diagnosed last year. "I started getting joint pain...had low energy. I couldn’t get good output in training," she said. Sojan added that taking medication and getting her period are crucial to losing weight before the Asian Games.
