The verified profile
Das’s dossier highlights the relationship between individual lane events and relay duty. Her 2018 World U20 400m triumph preceded Asian Games silver in a national-record 50.79 seconds, while the same Games brought women’s and mixed 4x400m golds. Victories across five European meetings followed an injury return in July 2019. Her 2021 induction as an Assam Police deputy superintendent offers another public dimension to the profile.
Factual references: Sources 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10How to read the player
Das’s 50.79-second 400m national record came with Asian Games silver in 2018, while the same meet included gold in both women’s and mixed 4x400m relays. Her 2018 World U20 400m gold supplies an individual global milestone. With personal bests also documented at 100m and 200m, the record frames her contribution as sprint capability expressed through individual and relay responsibilities.

Personal background
Hima Das is an Indian sprinter from Assam. The listed athlete profiles document results across the 100m, 200m and 400m.
Professional journey
The documented record spans three sprint distances. World Athletics lists personal bests for 100m, 200m and 400m, while the 2019 European-meet results and 2022 200m appearance show competition outside the 400m record.
Playing career
In 2018, Das finished sixth in the Commonwealth Games 400m final, won the World U20 400m title in 51.46 seconds, and earned Asian Games 400m silver in a national-record 50.79 seconds. The listed results also include relay medals at those Asian Games and a 200m semi-final at the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
Playing style
No race-phase analysis or claim about a late surge is included. The sourced record supports noting participation in the 100m, 200m, 400m and relays, without inferring a technical style.
For practical sprint-results context, read the athletics result abbreviations guide or the torso and photo-finish explainer. Sources reopened 14 October 2026; original statistical and source dates remain. The 51.46 World U20 winning time is not the later 50.79 personal best; relay marks are team times, not individual splits. The 2018 mixed-relay silver was upgraded to gold in 2020. The 2021 police induction and 2023 injury references are historical, not a retirement, current-employment or current-fitness finding. The introductory description identifies her documented sprint results, without inferring a general finishing style from personal bests or one race. These guides explain result notation and finish judging, not a new ruling on a past race.
Setbacks and comebacks
The listed source records that Das missed the 2023 Asian Games because of injury. No diagnosis, treatment, recovery claim or inference about event selection is included.
Post-playing work
An Olympics report documents Das's induction into Assam Police as a Deputy Superintendent of Police in February 2021.
