Parul Choudhary wins the first
medal for India at Asian Athletics Championship. She clocked her
Personal best time of 15:36.03 to win the Bronze Medal in 5000m event.
Apart from Annu Rani(Silver) and Parul Chaudhary(Bronze) India won 3 more Medals on the 1st day of Asian Athletics Championships.
Those were:- 1)Poovama(Bronze in Women's 400m) 2)Gavit Murali Kumar(Bronze in Men's 10000m. His Personal Best) 3)Avinash Sable(Silver in Men's 3000m steeplechase).
So,India won 5 Medals in the 8 Finals which took place on the first day of the competition.
Amit Panghal has once again beaten Hasanboy Dusmatov of Uzbekistan in the quarter finals to reach Semifinal .Hasanboy is current Olympic Gold Medal Winner and World Championship Silver Medal Winner.
Amit defeated Hasanboy in the Finals of the Asian Games as well thereby confirming that Amit can be counted as another Prime Medal Contender for the 2020 Olympics for India.
Kavinder Singh Bisht has beaten Kairat Yeraliyev(Kazakhstan Boxer is current World Champion) and entered Semi-Finals(Assured Medal just like Amit).However,I am hoping it's a Gold for both of them
So,another Indian Beating a Kazakh/Uzbek Boxer.
All Credit goes to the coach.Commonwealth Games was his first assignment and there itself,I had said that our Boxers looked Technically Sound,Strategic and Composed more than ever.
He has done wonders to our Boxing and Results are showing.
Even our Boxers who are losing are losing out by mostly Split Decisions.
OFF LATE(from past 4-5 years) OUR BOXERS WERE JUST NOT ABLE TO BEAT THE TOP BOXERS(UZBEK,KAZAKH,CUBA ETC) BUT POST COMMONWEALTH GAMES WE HAVE DONE VERY WELL.
IF THIS COACH STICKS AROUND TILL THE OLYMPICS, THEN WE CAN TARGET AT LEAST 2-3 MEDALS IN BOXING AT 2020 OLYMPICS.

To be honest Rohit Didn't impress me from the First match itself.
