Asian Athletics Championships: Indian ace hurdler Jyothi Yarraji won the gold medal in the women’s 100m hurdles at the Asian Athletics Championships on Thursday. She not only defended her gold but also set a new competition record with a timing of 12.96s.

Japan's Yumi Tanaka bagged silver ahead of China's Wu Yanni with the slightest margin of 0.007s. Jyothi produced a late burst to continue her supremacy in the event to surpass the previous records of 13.04 seconds, achieved by Kazakhstan's Olga Shishigina in 1998 and Sun Yawei of China in 2011.

It was a double delight for India as steeplechase runner Avinash Sable also delivered a season-best performance to clinch the gold medal in the men's 3000m steeplechase.
