Toor takes gold, Damneet impresses on day two of the Indian Open
National record holder and two-time Asian Games champion Tajinderpal Singh Toor expectedly took the shot put gold on the second and final day of the Indian Open athletics in Sangrur on Monday. Toor, one of the very few prominent names to turn up for the competition, managed a best throw of 19.51m in his fourth competition of the season. Toor, who is consistently battling injuries, is yet to cross 20m this season, his best being 19.74m at the National Games. In fact, he has not breached the mark since the 2024 Federation Cup in May, but was still good enough for the rest of the field. Also impressive was the 25-year-old Damneet Singh, winning the hammer throw with a personal best of 69.87m – just shy of the 2016 National record of 70.73m by Neeraj Kumar. Damneet, a silver medallist at the 2017 World under-18 championships and 2018 Asian under-20 championships, improved on his own previous best of 68.30m at the Federation Cup earlier this year. Mohd. Lazan VK also set a new personal best of 14.08 seconds to win the 110m hurdles. Among the women, JSW trainee Pranjali Patil was the only one to dip under 14 seconds to win the 100m hurdles in 13.66s while Niharika Vashisht of Punjab took the triple jump gold with 13.17m. Asian Games bronze medallist Priti Lamba took the 3000m steeplechase gold in 10:05.60. The results (day two, winners only): Men: 800m: Vinod Kumar Banot (Tel, 1:50.69); 110mH: Mohd. Lazan VK (Ker, 14.08s); 3000 SC: Sharukh Khan (UP, 8:46.21); Triple jump: Karthik Unnikrishnan (Air Force, 16.11m); Hammer throw: Damneet Singh (Rel, 69.87m); Shot put: Tajinderpal Singh Toor (Pun, 19.51m). Women: 800m: Priscilla Daniel (NCOE, 2:08.77); 110mH: Pranjali Patil (JSW, 13.66s); 10,000m: Soniya (Utk, 37:47.51); 3000 SC: Priti Lamba (NCOE, 10:05.60); Triple jump: Niharika Vashisht (Pun, 13.17m); Hammer throw: Manpreet Kaur (CISF, 59.79m); Shot put: Vidhi (UP, 15.38m).
