NEW DELHI: Amoj Jacob, a crucial member of the men's 4x400m relay team that came tantalisingly close to breaking the USA's dominating streak at the recent World Athletics Championships, expressed his confidence on Tuesday that India would clinch the gold medal at the Asian Games. Furthermore, he revealed their aspiration to secure a place on the Olympic podium if the team qualifies.
During an awe-inspiring race, the 4x400m relay squad shattered the Asian record by completing the heat in a remarkable 2 minutes 59.05 seconds. This achievement granted them entry into the final round of the World Championships held in Budapest last week.
