Mumbai, Oct. 12 -- Neeraj Chauhan was on the verge of going to the Asian Games three years ago, only to lose out on a re-trial. The recurve archer had competed in eight World Cups and one World Championships, only to return without any to show. The constant blanks made Chauhan turn to his teammate and senior, Dhiraj Bommadevara, with a question after the Indian men's team lost to USA in the Madrid World Cup quarter-finals in July. "When will I get on the podium?" Chauhan recalled. Dhiraj told him that his moment would come "sahi time pe, sahi jagah pe (at the right time, at the right place)." That time and place arrived at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games. Not once, but twice. The second, while going past Dhiraj. Chauhan checked out of his first Asian Games with two medals - a men's team silver alongside Dhiraj and Yashdeep Bhoge, and an individual bronze as only the second Indian man to win an Asian Games individual recurve medal after Tarundeep Rai in 2010. "Honestly, I did not go in with any expectations. I just knew that I wanted to get on that podium," Chauhan told HT from Hyderabad. "I played in so many World Cups and World Championships, but returned empty-handed from all of them. I lost every time, but learnt. For the Asian Games, I had made up my mind that I won't return empty-handed this time."...
