Asian wins will give athletes confidence
A couple of days before India began their campaign at the Asian Athletics Championship in South Korea, the news of a top athlete testing positive for using banned substances grabbed the headlines. There were trepidations within the contingent that had already landed in Gumi, the venue. For a while now, the Athletics Federation of India has been dogged by doping controversies, with top athletes getting caught even at national camps. Only a great performance at Gumi could act as a balm—and the team did not disappoint. When the meet concluded, India had bagged eight gold, 10 silver and six bronze medals—the country's best performance on the continental stage since 2017. It changed the mood within the camp. What augurs well for the AFI is that the championship's high can be credited to a bunch of youngsters. There were medallists in their late teens. High-jumper Pooja, 18, who comes from a modest background, won gold with what will stand as a national record in the U20 group. Another 18-year-old, Abinaya Rajarajan, was in the 4x100 m women's relay team. Sprint sensation Animesh Kujur, 21, has been notching up records in 200 m. Quarter-miler Rupal Chaudhary (silver medallist) and long-jumper Shaili Singh are both 20; gold medallist heptathlete Nandini Agasara is 21.

"Proud": PM Modi hails India contingent for "stupendous performance" at Asian Athletics Championships 2025
New Delhi [India], June 2 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated the Indian contingent for its 'stupendous' performance in the recently concluded Asian Athletics Championships 2025 in the South Korean City of Gumi. The Indian athletes finished with an overall medal tally of 24 and finished second behind China. Eight of the 24 medals were gold, 10 silver, and six bronze. China topped the table chart with 26 medals, including 15 gold, eight silver, and three bronze medals. 'India is proud of our contingent for their stupendous performance at the recently held 2025 Asian Athletics Championships in South Korea. The hard work and determination of every athlete were clearly visible throughout the tournament. Best wishes to the athletes for their future endeavours,' PM Modi wrote on X.

Sachin Yadav, on his international debut, recorded a personal and season best of 85.16m to win the silver medal behind Pakistan's Olympic champion Arshad Nadeem (86.40m). The final day also saw Animesh Kujur sprinting to glory in the men's 200m. A false start by a Chinese sprinter didn't upset the Indian sprinter's strategy to win a medal in the 200m. On his way to winning bronze, Kujur clocked 20.32 seconds to better his own national record of 20.40 seconds set in a domestic meet in Kochi in April. Indian quartet of Srabani Nanda, SS Sneha, Abhinaya Rajarajan and Nithya Gandhe clocked 43.86 seconds to win silver in women's 4x100m relay. China took home gold while Thailand won bronze.

China had 19 gold medals in a total of 32 medals, and while Japan had more overall medals with 28, only 5 golds means India finished in second place in the overall standings. Gulveer Singh was India's dominant driving force with golds in both the long-distance running events of 5000 m and 10000 m, setting a competition record in the 5k. Avinash Sable also claimed gold in the 3000 m steeplechase. In the women's competitions, a win in the 4x400 m relay complimented gold in the 100 m hurdle for Jyoti Yarraji, Pooja Singh in the high jump, and Nandini Agasara in the heptathlon.
