New Delhi, June 29 -- Rohit Yadav produced a stunning 87.05m throw to win the javelin on the concluding day of the National Inter State Senior Athletics Championships in Bhubaneswar on Sunday while long jumper Murali Sreeshankar leapt 8.38m to continue his dominating home run.
Rohit's throw is the best effort by an Indian this season, going past Neeraj Chopra's 85.69m to finish fourth in the Doha Diamond League earlier this month. Rohit's winning throw came in his last attempt, by which time he had already met AFI's entry standard for the Asian Games (77.87m). Yashvir Singh's 83.72m and Sachin Yadav's 82.32m completed the podium.
