Where did Manjit come from? That was unexpected! Jinson was the clear fave and he upstages his compatriot!

Unimaginable that two Indian Athletes can be 1,2 in such an event.
19:47 (IST)28 AUG 2018
Important point. Manjit haven't had the inside lane to aid him. So that makes it all more difficult to charge from outside lane. This is by far one of the best race i have seen by an indian track athlete. #ManjitSingh you superstar@afiindia congrats#Athletics #AsianGames

Manjeet Singh was fourth with about 90m to go but sprinted past the leaders, including fancied team-mate Jinson Johnson to claim gold in 1:46.16. It was a one-two for India, with Jinson taking silver in 1:46.35. #AsianGames2018 pic.twitter.com/S72DYRLMre
