Hima may add another Gold to her kitty, as the Silver Medal won by the Mixed 4×400 Relay team at 2008 Asian Games in Jakarta could be upgraded to Gold as one of the Gold Medal winning Bahrain team members – Kemi Adekoya failed the dope test and handed over a 4-year ban. Official confirmation is awaited.
