Sneha S S is an Asian Games medallist. On 29 September 2026, at Mizuho Park Athletic Stadium in Nagoya, she ran the second leg for India's mixed 4x100m relay team, which crossed the line in 41.06 seconds — a new Indian national record — to win bronze at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games.
The Final
The mixed 4x100m relay was making its debut on the Asian Games programme. India's quartet set off with Gurindervir Singh on the opening leg. He handed over to Sneha, who kept India in the hunt down the back straight before passing to Animesh Kujur on the third leg, with Harita Bhadra bringing the baton home on the anchor leg.
China took gold in 40.78 seconds and Thailand silver in 40.87, with India completing the podium in 41.06, bettering the previous national mark of 41.35. The Indian team had qualified for the final as runners-up in their heat a day earlier, clocking 41.54.

From Moodabidri to the Asian Games Podium
Sneha has trained under Dr. C. Ajithkumar for the last four years at Alva's College, Moodabidri. Their work together has combined advanced sprint technique, strength and conditioning, and mental preparation — an athlete-centred, sports-science-led approach that has carried her from the training ground at Alva's to the continental stage. Today she also serves in the Customs Department while continuing to compete for India.
Sneha's Record Under Dr. C. Ajithkumar
- 16 national medals
- 7 international medals
- Asian Games 2026 — bronze, mixed 4x100m relay
- Indian national record — 41.06s, mixed 4x100m relay
Her international record includes gold at the Taiwan Open, silver at the 2025 Asian Championships, and, earlier in 2026, gold with the Indian women's 4x100m quartet at the Asian Relay Championships in China.
From the Coach
This achievement is especially special to me as Sneha has been training under my guidance for the last 4 years at Alva's College, Moodabidri.
From the training ground at Alva's, Moodabidri, to representing India on the Asian Games podium, Sneha's journey reflects her dedication, discipline, consistency and relentless hard work.
Today, she is proudly serving in the Customs Department while continuing to make India proud on the international athletics stage.
Proud of you, Sneha! Keep going higher!
Congratulations, Sneha
