Su fastest man of games

China's Su Bingtian set a new Asian Games record to become the fastest man of the continent while India showed that they are an emerging power in Asian sprint with three silver medals at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium last night.

Su, a second-place finisher from 2014, clocked 9.92 seconds to set the Games' new record, but missed out on a new continental record by 0.01 seconds.

Qatar's Tosin Ogunode took the silver medal while Japan's Ryota Yamagata took the bronze -- both clocking 10.00 seconds.

But the day was special for India, who grabbed silver medals in women's 100m, women's 400m and men's 400m.

Dutee Chand of Orissa finished second to Bahrain's Edidiong Odiong in the women's 100m, with Dutee clocking 11.32 seconds, two hundredths of a second slower than Odiong. China's Wei Yongli took bronze.

Chand's medal comes after she missed the last Games in a row over her elevated testosterone levels caused by hyperandrogenism.

She was, however, later cleared of the ban after she appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in 2015. But her performance last night was a massive surprise given the fact she only clocked 11.75 seconds in the South Asian Games two years ago, finishing third.

That same year the 22-year-old clocked 11.69 seconds in Rio Olympics before improving her timing to 11.52 seconds in the Asian Championship last year. And yesterday's timing was her career best, an improvement of 0.20 seconds from her previous best.

Meanwhile, Hima Das from Assam grabbed silver in women's 400m clocking 50.79 seconds, 0.70 seconds slower than Bahrain's Naser Salwa, who set a new games record.

Yahiya Muhammed Anas from Kerala grabbed silver in men's 400m at 45.69 seconds, 0.80 seconds slower than gold winner Hassan Abdelelah of Qatar.
