Highlights from the Federation Cup in Patiala yesterday, the last chance for Indian athletes to make the cut for the Asian Athletics Championships included two great performances. Discus thrower Kamalpreet Kaur and javelin thrower Shivpal Singh starred on the opening day of the 23rd Federation Cupin Patiala on Friday, as they assured themselves of a place in the 2019 Asian Championships by meeting the qualification guidelines set by the Athletics Federation of India. Speaking to The Bridge after topping the Javelin qualifications with a throw of 81.85m (AFI’s qualification guideline was 80.75m), Shivpal seemed stoked about his performance but took care to mention that he would not be taking his spot lightly going into the finals today. "Everything is good now and I like where I am at the moment. The goal is always to keep learning and keep doing better," he said.

Other standout performances for the day included National Record holder in Pole Vault S Siva who set a new meet record by clearing a height of 5.16m, breaking the previous meet record of 5.15m.
