Asian Games: Tajinderpal Singh Toor’s Title Defence Ends With Silver In Shot Put
Nagoya City Mizuho Park Athletic: Two-time defending champion Tajinderpal Singh Toor’s bid for a third successive Asian Games gold medal ended in silver as Iran’s Mohammadreza Tayebi set a Games record in the men’s shot put final at Nagoya City Mizuho Park Athletic Stadium on Saturday.
Toor, who won gold at the 2018 Jakarta and 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, began strongly with a throw of 20.06m and followed it up with 20.26m in his second attempt to remain in medal contention.
The Indian then struggled to find his best rhythm, recording 19.77m in his third attempt and 19.71m in the fourth. He responded with a much-improved 20.64m on his fifth throw, but it was not enough to reclaim the top position.
