00:00Now this is the national record holder of Nepal, Chandrakala Lamgadi, a 47-60 national record though, so it's a developing event in the neighbouring country of Nepal.
00:18Now one of the athletes who could challenge here, Hattarabag Lekamalagi of Sri Lanka, she was the 2023 Asian Games silver medallist.
00:30And this is Anurani, I would say the hot favourite to take this, she's the only athlete with a personal best in excess of 60 metres, but 50 metre line and a couple quite close to it, we're halfway through round one out of six.
01:00Chandrakala Lamgadi of Nepal.
01:12We will move shortly to the introduction of the 400 metres for the men, which is the first of the track events out here.
01:30Cameras are with Lekamalagi.
01:34I think that's Lekamalaj.
01:50Yes, that's the Sri Lankan who has thrown over 60 metres and that may take her the lead.
01:57Ali Qatari of Nepal, Mohamed Mohsen of JSW, Vimal of the Navy, Uvaraj of Tamil Nadu and Karthik of the Air Force. Back to the Javelin.
02:05And Anurani is the event leader, 58-65, you can see on the graphic, looking to give us our first 60 metre throw in round three.
02:12Another good one, you can hear the roar of the crowd, she's putting together quite the series here.
02:19Don't forget, she has thrown 63 metres, that's why she goes away a bit disconsolate, because she's still not quite catching a good one.
02:31Lekamalagi is in second place, she's just over two metres behind the lead, so she needs to improve on 56-27.
02:44At the moment, India sweeping the board, leading in this one, but not by much.
02:49Lekamalagi, that's going to be around about 51-52 metres.
02:56In fact, she steps over the line, takes the red.
02:58Here's the event leader, so we're throwing in reverse order.
03:00You can see she's not quite improved with every throw, but she's getting closer to 60 metres.
03:05She does want rhythmic support.
03:07Let's see if we can get our first 60 metre throw.
03:11She leads by just over two metres, Rani for India.
03:26Oh, she's done it, she's done it by a long way as well.
03:29That's the roar you can hear.
03:31I don't think it's quite going to be 63 metres, which is the stadium record.
03:34She's got quite...
03:35I hope we get a big smile.
03:36She was quite subdued during the competition, wasn't she?
03:39But this is a win to remember just because of the significance of the meeting.
03:43Every time I do an interview with her or a chat with her, she has a stony face, but she does all of that performance in the field out there.
03:50Got her game face on, but let's hope it's her receiving a big check face that we get on the podium for the photos.
03:56So we had Karishma Sanil taking the fourth.
03:57Deepika of Haryana 54.28.
03:58The second position.
03:59Deepika of Haryana 54.28.
04:00The second position.
04:01So we had Karishma Sanil taking the fourth.
04:02Deepika of Haryana 54.28.
04:03The second position.
04:04Sri Lanka managed to get a number two position with the...
04:06...the second position.
04:07And the second position.
04:08So, she's got a game face on, but let's hope it's her receiving a big check face that we get on the podium for the photos.
04:10So, we had Karishma Sanil taking the fourth.
04:12Deepika of Haryana 54.28.
04:13The second position.
04:28Sri Lanka managed to get a number two position with Lekha there, 56.27.
04:35But the number one to Anurani, the favorite, Uttar Pradesh, 62.01.
04:41And in fact, she's been struggling to get beyond 60.
04:46And she's finally done it for the second time in a month's span.
04:49It was a good competition.
04:51And it was the first impression that we had of the crowd playing their part in supporting the athletes.
04:58We finally saw some ending there.
05:01Yeah, yeah. It's the eight at the start of the check that's done it.
