Tajinderpal Singh Toor Defends Asian Championships Shot Put Title, Parul Chaudhary Bags Maiden Gold
India's shot putter Tajinderpal Singh Toor stamped his authority in the continental circuit by defending his Asian Athletics Championships title but limped out of the competition after his gold-winning second round throw in Bangkok on Friday. The Asian record holder Toor sent the iron ball to a distance of 20.23m in his second round throw but did not take further part as he limped out after the effort, holding his groin. Saberi Mehdi (19.98m) of Iran and Ivan Ivanov (19.87m) of Kazakhstan took home the silver and bronze respectively.
