World and Olympic Champion Neeraj Chopra the Indian track and field stars came up with some brilliant efforts to claim seven medals including two gold medals on the penultimate day of athletics competitions at the Asian Games in Hangzhou on Wednesday.

The day started with Manju Rani and Baboo Ram winning a bronze medal in the 35km Race Walk Mixed Team competition and ended with the Men's 4x400m relay team grabbing a historic first gold since 1962 in Jakarta.

In between Neeraj Chopra ruled the Indian hearts as he came up with his season's best throw of 88.88 to defend the title he had claimed in the 2018 edition in Indonesia. 

The most unique thing about the men's javelin throw competition at the 19th Asian Games from the Indian perspective was that it was another Indian thrower that had threatened to finish ahead of Chopra.
