As he completed his second throw at the 25th Asian Athletics Championships in Bangkok on Friday, Tajinderpal Singh Toor felt the old groin pain returning to haunt him.
The groin injury had forced Asian record-holder Toor to pull out of the last year’s Oregon World Championships and the Birmingham Commonwealth Games and he was very worried.
Toor could manage just two throws but, fortunately, his second effort (20.23m) was good enough to help him retain his gold.
