Indian Open Throws Competition: Two-time Asian Games champion, Tajinderpal Singh Toor, showed early form as he won the gold medal in the men's shot put competition on the opening day of the two-day 5th Indian Open Throws Competition at Patiala’s National Institute of Sports Campus in Punjab on Saturday.

The 31-year-old seasoned shot putter hurled the iron ball to a distance of 20.51m, a season best, to win gold. “I’m satisfied with my performance,” Toor said after the competition.

Of the six attempts, Toor crossed the 20m mark thrice, hinting that he was enjoying good training sessions. The other three attempts had no marks. His other two throws were 20.02m and 20.07m
