Another Asiad Gold for Ashwini as Indian Women Top 4x400m Relay


Another Gold for Ashwini as Indian Women Top 4x400m Relay

Guangzhou, Nov 26 (IANS):
Kundapur's Ashwini Chidananda continued her top form even as the Indian women's 4x400m relay team, in a sensational burst, defended their gold medal in the Asian Games here Friday.

The victory gave India its fifth gold in athletics, and 13th overall. The women's relay team had given India its only gold in athletics at the 2006 Doha Games.  

The quartet of Manjeet Kaur, Sini Jose, Ashwini Chidananda and Mandeep Kaur, which won the gold in the 2010 Commonwealth Games, came on top here clocking 3:29.02 seconds.

Kazakhstan (Marina Maslyonko, Viktoriya Yalovtseva, Margarita Matsko, Olga Tereshkova) got the silver in 3:30.03 and China (Zhihui Zheng, Xiaoyin Tang, Lian Chen, Jingwen Chen) the bronze in 3:30.89.

Manjeet gave India a good start and Sini maintained the pace with a good run before handing the baton to Ashwini.

Ashwini, who won the gold in 400m hurdles, steamed ahead with rapid strides to break away from the pack and left Kazakh Margarita way behind.

It was left to Mandeep to give it a winning finish, but the tall Kazakh runner Olga came from behind to lead briefly. Seasoned Mandeep, however, had enough fuel to pull to outpace Olga in the last 50m.

    I will call Ashiwini's achievement as greatest achievement in Indian sports. It is amazing how most popular sports like track and field do not attract any sponsors. The only difference between India and China is that China never plays cricket. If cricket is banned, automatically raise other sports, but who will make Government understand?

    Congratulations Ashwini, Exactly as I predicted in my last comments. God bless you a lot, you will be the 1st to have two Gold medals in this Asiad representing our country. Janardhan Reddy has already promised 10 lacks, n plot for Gold winners, 7 lacks for Silver n 5 lacks for Bronze. I believe he will keep his promise. Yeddy must visit her house n honor her. Let’s celebrate this win.
    Louis D'Souza, Udupi/Kuwait Thursday, November 25, 2010
    I hope this time Mr. Yeddyurappa will recognize this talented girl Ashwini Akkunje and will give above 10 Lacks for this Golden girl. I also have faith that she will win one more Gold in 4x400 relay same as CWG. Best of luck.

    Amazing performance.When Mandip crossed final line in 4*400m Relay tears rolled down in emotion.Ashwini gave big lead before handing over baton to Mandip in 4*400m relay.Ashwini got 3 GOLDS in 2 months ! Can you believe it ? Like Aswhini,Karkala's Mamata was a main pillar in winning Gold Medal in Women's Kabaddi ! With all my heart I wish these two Golden Girls a Golden future.
