It rained gold for India at the Asian Athletics Championships on Thursday as the country’s fastest woman hurdler Jyothi Yarraji, seasoned steeplechase-runner Avinash Sable and the 4x400m women’s relay team delivered stupendous performances to finish on top.

After Yarraji and Sable set the tone, the quartet of Jisna Mathew, Rupal Chaudhary, Kunja Rajitha and Subha Venkatesan clinched the gold medal in the women’s 4x400m relay event, clocking a season-best time (3:34.18sec) to extend India’s dominance on the third competition day of the continental championship.
