Tharushi Mudiyanselage Dissanayaka: Halfway through the race, India's Harmilan Bains was stuck in a crowd in the sixth position, jostling to get out of it and make a dash for the finish line.

The 800m race in the Asian Games is very important for her. It was at this distance that her mother Madhuri Singh won a silver medal in the 2002 edition in Busan.

On Wednesday, Harmilan summoned every ounce of strength in her legs to surge past a bunch of runners to claim the silver medal in the Women's 800m race in the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou.
