The Athletics Federation of India (AFI) faces intense criticism after a viral video showed a man casually walking across the track during a junior men’s 200m final. The incident occurred Saturday at New Delhi's Indian Athletics Series-3, forcing a sprinter to swerve mid-race to avoid a collision. Netizens slammed the AFI for the security failure at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium and questioned how an unauthorised individual entered the competition area while athletes were sprinting at top speed. Fans further argued this lapse undermines India’s aspirations for future Olympic bids, highlighting the urgent need for professional event management standards.
