India clinched four medals, including two golds, on the last day of competitions at the Junior Asian Athletics Championships to finish third in the medal standings, here today.
India entered the event as Asian champions, but it was always going to be a tough ask for the 11th ranked side to even qualify for the finals. They clocked 3:31.34 to win the gold medal at Bhuvneshwar Asian meet last month.
All the gold winners in this championships get automatic qualification for the World Championships to be held in London next month.
