Triple jumper Pravin Chithravel had the top mark of the year of 17.37M just a Cm ahead of Chinese Zhu Yaming but Chithravel has not performed well when mattered. He only had 16.38M in Budapest world championships while Chinese Yamming Zhu had 2 marks of 17.15 and 17.14M. Second Chinese also crossed 17M in Budapest. So, this results at Asian games were as per expectations. Gold and silver to Chinese and bronze to Chithravel with 16.68M which is what his real level is.indiansportsfan wrote: ↑Sun Oct 08, 2023 5:54 pm Women's hockey was definitely #1. Boxing doesn't have reliable rankings, but what more proof of #1 is needed other than winning the world championships.
For triple jumpers and 1500, will need to check the season's top list.
Mens 1500M I expected Ajay Kumar Saroj to win gold and I though he made a late charge due to which he missed that.
Apart from that as you said - 1 between Nikhat-Lovlina, Mens chess team, Womens hockey team, mens doubles tennis were the golds which were expected and missed.
But, we got some surprise ones too like Anu Rani in Javelin, she was in no sort of form before the games or Parul Chaudhary in womens 5000M.
