Shot-putter Tajinderpal Singh Toor defended his Asian Games title with an amazing final throw. Toor came up with a mighty throw of 20.36 metres on his sixth and last attempt. Toor, however, could not break his own Asian Games record of 20.75m set in 2018 Jakarta. Toor changed his shoes after the third throw that helped him find his rhythm back. Sahib Singh was also in contention for the medal but failed to clinch a podium finish. He finished in the 8th position with a throw of 18.62m.
