The formidable quartet of Jisna Mathew, Rupal, Rajitha Kunja, and Subha Venkatesan combined with flawless baton exchanges and gritty determination to outpace their continental rivals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>This win marks a milestone in India\u2019s track and field journey, underlining the resurgence of women\u2019s relay teams on the Asian stage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The men\u2019s 4x400m relay team also delivered a gutsy performance. Jay Kumar, Dharamveer Chaudhary, Manu T.S., and Vishal T.K. clocked an impressive 3:03.67 to earn silver in a tightly contested final, just missing out on gold but reinforcing India\u2019s strength in relay events.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Earlier in the evening, India\u2019s steeplechase hero Avinash Sable scripted history by becoming the first Indian man in 36 years to win gold in the 3000m steeplechase at the Asian Championships. Clocking a season-best 8:20.92, Sable surged past Japan\u2019s Yutaro Niinae in the final lap to seal a dominant win. Qatar\u2019s Zakaria Elahlaami completed the podium with a personal best of 8:27.12.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Adding to the medal haul, the women\u2019s long jump saw a double podium finish for India. Ancy Sojan Edappilly bagged the silver with a leap of 6.33m, closely followed by Shaili Singh, who took bronze with a jump of 6.30m. Iran\u2019s Reihaneh Mobini Arani clinched gold with a 6.40m effort.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Earlier in the evening, India\u2019s steeplechase hero Avinash Sable scripted history by becoming the first Indian man in 36 years to win gold in the 3000m steeplechase at the Asian Championships.
