Mangaluru: Renowned International athlete from Shirthady, Joyline M Lobo, who was supposed to be a part in the senior inter-state athletic championship at Guwahati almost missed her chance as the board missed to file her name in the list.

It has been reported that, the Karnataka State Athletic Association missed to add her name in the list of 33 athletes from the State.

After tweets to union sports minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, Joyline is all set to partcipate in the athletic event.

The Guwahati athletics meet will also serve as a final qualifying meet for the upcoming Asian Games in Indonesia. Joyline had completed all preliminary tests and passed physical fitness test, and had even booked her ticket to Guwahati from Mangaluru.

On enquiry, the state athletics association blamed ‘clerical error’ and ‘oversight’ for the omission of her name. The AFI said that it could not do anything in the matter as it only considers the names officially given by the state athletics association before the deadline.

Post this, Joyline tweeted to Union sports minister Rathore, “I am India’s second best triple Jumper. Karnataka State Athletic Assosiation by oversight has missed sending my entry for the upcoming Senior Inte-State Athletics Championship. This is the Final selection trial for Asian games. Request you to intervene and help me,”

Joyline received good support from Twitterati’s. Her tweet was also tagged to PM Modi, MP Rajeev Chandrashekar.

BJP Dakshina Kannada general secretary tweeted that timely intervention by the sports minister has saved Joyline’s career. “Timely intervention by Sports Minister @Ra_THORe saves the career of budding athlete @LoboMural. Must appreciate the effort of @nandanmallya & @rajeev_mp for making the voice heard. Well done!!!,” he tweeted.

Speaking to daijiworld, Joyline said, “I got a call directly from an AFI official who invited me to Guwahati to participate in the athletics meet. I am travelling to Assam now.”
