CHENNAI: There is something about Tajinder Pal Singh Toor. The shot-putter always has great throws, including national records, during domestic competitions. But somehow he manages to not throw the distance in competitions abroad. The Asian Athletics Championships in Bangkok is another example. However, he managed to win gold. India's gold on Friday was Parul Chaudhury in the 3000m SC. India now have five gold, including the three they won on Thursday.
On Shaili going to the World Championships on Road to Budapest ranking, Robert said they will assess the situation and after discussing with AFI they will decide. “She is young and she can compete later also. There is no hurry. We will focus on the Asian Games,” he said.
