According to information reaching here, Laxita claimed her medal in women's 800m while Shreeya finished on the podium in women's 400m hurdles as India\u2019s overall tally swelled to 15 medals -- five gold, six silver and five bronze medals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After a not-so-encouraging morning session, the Indian athletes raised the bar in the evening to make it a productive day for the country. The competition is in progress and more medals are expected at the end of the session. Shreeya Rajesh ran a well-judged pace to sail over the hurdles but eventually settled for a bronze in the women's 400m hurdles with a time of 59.20 seconds. Jeyavindhiya Jegadish finished sixth in the 400m hurdles. Her time was 1:02.06 seconds., the Athletics Federation of India (AFI) informed on Friday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Talented middle-distance runner Laxita Vinod Sandilea lived up to her reputation but had to be satisfied with a silver in the women\u2019s 800m, finishing second in 2:07.10 seconds. Fellow Indian Tanvi Malik, however, finished sixth in 800m in 2:13.42. The morning session didn\u2019t go on expected lines for the Indian contingent as Sachin finished fourth in the men\u2019s 10,000m race walk in 45:50.56. Himanshu, the second Indian racewalker, was disqualified.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
