Yarraji wins women's 100m hurdles gold; Avinash triumphs in men's 3000m steeplechase

|May 30, 2025
INDIA'S fastest woman hurdler Jyothi Yarraji and national record-holding steeplechase runner Avinash Sable came up with stupendous performances to win gold medals in their respective events at the 26th Asian Athletics Championships here on Thursday.
-
On his way to victory with a season-best performance, Sable became the first Indian man in 36 years to win a gold medal in steeplechase at the Asian Championships.
Soon after, Jyothi produced a late burst to clinch her second straight gold medal in this competition with a new championship record of 12.96 seconds.
The previous record was 13.04 seconds, achieved by Kazakhstan's Olga Shishigina in 1998 and Sun Yawei of China in 2011.
Sable clocked 8:20.92sec to claim the top honour, which is also his second Asian medal after a silver in the 2019 edition. It was, however, nowhere close to his national record of 8:09.91sec achieved in 2024.
The last time India won a gold in this event was way back in 1989 when Dina Ram finished on top.
