Parul Chaudhary created history today when she became the first Indian to win gold in 5000m in Asian Games. She clocked 15:14.75 to win the race ahead of Japan’s Ririka Hironaka.

This is Parul’s second medal after the silver in 3000m steeplechase yesterday.

In the last lap, Parul was second behind Hironaka but pushed through in the last 100m to win the yellow medal.

The other Indian in the final, Ankita Dhyani finished fifth.
