NEW DELHI: For Asian Games silver medallist Kartik Kumar, it must have been déjà vu. Last year at the Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon (VDHM), Kartik was pipped to the finish line by Avinash Sable in the Indian elite men’s category. This year too, the tale was something similar.
It seemed that Kartik had the winner’s prize money all but sealed, but 2018 VDHM winner Abhishek Pal sneaked from behind and pipped Kartik at the post by just a second.
