The medal rush continued for India in athletics on Monday, with Parul Chaudhary and Priti winning silver and bronze in the women's 3000m Steeplechase event. The Indian duo, along with the runners from Bahrain, were clearly way ahead of the competition in the event. While Bahrain's Winfred Yavi, the reigning World Champion, set a new Games record to take the Gold, Parul finished 9 seconds behind her to take the silver. India's Priti, who was fourth for most of the race, produced an exceptional sprint towards the end to overtake Bahrain's second runner, Tigest Mekonen, to take the bronze. Priti edged her opponent by a mere 39 milliseconds. In fact, both Parul and Priti produced their personal bests to secure the medals.
