Parul Chaudhary has become the third Indian track and field athlete to win gold at the ongoing Hangzhou Asian Games, winning the women's 5000m in a rather dramatic fashion. Parul hanged back for much of the race before breaking away from the rest of the pack with Japan's Ririka Hironaka ahead of her. 

Parul was trailing Hironaka until the final few metres in which she burst forward and took the gold medal. The 28-year-old has added to the silver medal she won in the 3000m women's steeplechase. Parul on Tuesday registered a time of 15:14.75. Hironaka registered a time of 15:15.34 while Kazakhstan's Caroline Kipkirui won bronze with a time of 15:23.12 which is her season's best. 

On the same day, Annu Rani has become the second Indian javelin thrower after Neeraj Chopra to have won an Asian Games gold at the event.

She won her second Asian Games medal, and her first gold, in women's javelin throw in Hangzhou. Annu threw the javelin 62.92m in her fourth attempt which helped her jump to the lead. Sri Lanka's Dilhani Lekamge won silver with a best throw of 61.57m while Lyu Huihui (61.29m) of China won bronze.
