The medal haul of the Indian athletics contingent at the recent Asian Athletics Championships as well as the Taiwan Athletics Open turned heads. Surely, there were many memorable performances, including Parul Chaudhary’s double silver medal winning act in the women’s 5,000 metres and in the 3,000 metres steeplechase. Nevertheless, the Athletics Federation of India (AFI) and the coaches working in the background are not getting carried away with the results. They are happy with the progression of athletes but are also mindful of the fact that the pathways to bigger prizes, the World Championships and Olympic medals, are still a little out of our grasp.
