Good to see Jaisha and Sudha Singh doing well. Jaisha is a fairly new entrant to the Marathon scene and this was only her second Marathon competition. In her first attempt at Mumbai marathon in Jan 2015, she broke the national mark which had stood for 19 year, and here she has improved her own natio...

Just a small correction in the timing of Indian women relay team. They finished in 3:29:08, which is a fairly good timing by Asian standards.

It did make a difference, but what do you mean by 'huge'? The difference between Tintu and the last qualifier was 0.25 S and I think she lost at least 0.5s in the process. She clearly lost pace. I agree she was tired and was being passed but she lost time and a place in the SF.

I liked the attitude of Lalita Babar, she is a gutsy competitor. She lead the field till 2000m mark and there were times when she lead the rest by about 40m.

True about the training part. She has no strategy at all, except to run in front.

I think he is called Sajan Prakash not Sajan Kumar.

P. V. Sindhu [2] d. KIM Hyo Min 21-12 21-17
Congrats

He has taken a set off Chen Long.
Srikanth 17-21, 21-19. Now on to the decider.

Can't believe India pulled this off. Iran looked to be the better team.

Pooja Rani also lost a close one to her Chinese opponent. Was hoping for wins from her and Sarita today.

I think Swapna Barman is a great prospect for India in Heptathlon at the asian level. She is just 18 (today happened to be her birthday) and finished with 5178 points in 5th place.

BTW, she has 6 toes in each foot and just wearing a shoe is painful for her.

The youtube telecast is not available in all countries (maybe not available in countries where live TV telecast exists).

Women's 400m Poovamma wins the bronze.
