WHAT a moment for Arpinder. What a moment for India, who won their first GOLD medal in Triple Jump after 48 years.

ARPINDER SINGH wins GOLD in the Men's Triple Jump for India.

But Arpinder decides to jog and just says I will just take the GOLD medal, thank you very much.

Arpinder is assured of GOLD but he goes for his last attempt. Can he break any records along with the GOLD medal?

Kurbanov will finish with a PB of 16.62 and he will take SILVER.

Ruslan Kurbanov is the final one who can challenge India's GOLD medal. A good attempt but it doesn't look like it will be enough.

Japan's Kohei Yamashita finishes with disqualifed attempt. He was favorite for Gold but finishes out of contention for even a Bronze.

He finishes with 16.38 and there will be no medal for Rakesh Babu at the Asian Games 2018 Men's Triple Jump.

It is a good jump. His leg is troubling him and the gap is 6cm, which is excellent. That was perfect technique even with an ailing leg.

Rakesh Babu goes for his final attempt. He needs at least 16.63 to have in contention for Silver.

Arpinder's main threat is done and he is still top. Will he finish with the GOLD?

Shuo Cao goes for his final attempt and he finishes with 16.56. He might get a Bronze but he isn't challenging Arpinder for GOLD.

UPDATE: Manjit Singh and Jinson Johnson both qualify for the 1500m Finals. And it is a rare double for India, who will be in contention for another medal in Athletics.

No he cannot. Arpinder's fifth attempt is disqualified but all he needs is the rest to not catch and he will still sit pretty at the top.

Arpinder Singh goes for his fifth attempt. But can he improve?

UPDATE: The Men's 1500m Qualification is about to begin. India's Jinson Johnson will take part in that hoping to seal a spot in the finals.

Arpinder finishes with 16.08 and that means that he is still top after four rounds.

He goes again and it is clean but despite a good technique and excellent gap of just 1 cm, this isn't his best effort.

Arpinder Singh now comes in for his fourth attempt. Can he extend his lead?

It is valid and there is plenty of gap once again. Can he improve? No he can't. He is limping now and that is not a good sign.

Rakesh Babu is currently in fifth spot. Can he better his tally in his fourth attempt?

Ruslan Kurbanov and Kohei Yamashita split the Indian duo after three attempts. Arpinder Singh is still top with 16.77 while Rakesh Babu is fourth.

You bet he does, Arpinder Singh has 16.77 in his third attempt and extends his lead at the top to his compatriot in second.

Next up is Arpinder Singh, who gets ready for his third attempt. That is a brilliant run-up and he goes long. But will he increase his lead at the top.

It is a good run-up, excellent technique but he can't better his previous mark.

Next up is Rakesh Babu. Can he overtake his compatriot?

India are first and second in the Men's Triple Jump Finals after two attempts

Let us now return back to the Men's Triple Jump Finals where India are first and second after two attempts.

But in the end, she had to settle for SILVER but what a race it was by Dutee Chand. Another medal for India in Athletics and this is courtesy of 23.20 from Dutee Chand.

After a good start, Dutee was actually in the lead for a brief moment and was challenging the Bahrain athlete for GOLD.

What a race by Dutee, no photo finish here but Bahrain's Odiong takes GOLD but it is silver for India courtesy of another fantastic finish by Dutee.

Dutee Chand wins SILVER for INDIA.

And off they go. No false start here.

Will it be another photo finish for Dutee Chand, who is in lane 3?

This should be a cracking contest. We are about to get underway. Can Dutee pick up another athletics medal for India in Asian Games 2018?

Now we are all set for the 200m Women's Final. That will feature India's Dutee Chand.

But as things stand, India have the top two in the standings in the Men's Triple Jump Finals.
