Servin Sebastian opens India's account with bronze at Asian Athletics C'ships
Servin Sebastian opened India's account at the 26th Asian Athletics Championships with a bronze medal in the men's 20km race walk event here on Tuesday.
The 25-year-old clocked 1:21:13.60sec to finish behind China's Wang Zhaozhao (1:20:36.90) and Japan's Kento Yoshikawa (1:20:44.90), for a podium finish in the tournament's first event.
Sebastian's timing was just shy of his personal best of 1:21:23sec, set earlier this year for a gold at the Uttarakhand National Games in February.
Amit, the other Indian in the field, finished fifth with a time of 1:22:14.30.
India has sent a 59-strong contingent for the event where the country won 27 medals in the previous edition.
