2023 Asian Athletics C'ships: Jyothi, Parul win double medals, India finish with best-ever away medal haul — Highlights

Javelin: DP Manu in gold medal spot

DP Manu has thrown the javelin to 78m on his first attempt. He is 1st after the first round. 

Meanwhile, Abha Khatua has overtaken Manpreet to silver medal spot in Shot Put. India in 2 and 3 in that event as of now. Both Abha and Manpreet need to cross 18m though to get into gold, they're still in the 17s.

Chanda wins 800m silver

And it's silver for Chanda too. She too ran the eventual gold medallist from Sri Lanka close but fell behind in the last 100 metres. Silver for India in both the 800m races - Chanda and Krishan Kumar.

Shot Put: Manpreet Kaur in silver medal spot

Chanda and Lavika Sharma in the 800m women's race now coming up.

Manpreet Kaur is currently in 2nd spot after the first round. She makes a foul throw in her 2nd attempt.

Krishan Kumar wins 800m silver

Krishan Kumar runs a great race! Gives the gold medallist Aboobaker of Qatar a run for his money all through the race. Holds on for silver medal at the end even though he has nothing left in the tank in the last few metres.

This is a new personal best for Krishan! 1:45.88s his timing.

800m Men Race: Afsal, Krishan in action
