Tajinderpal Singh Toor chases historic hat-trick of shot put gold medals

Shot putter Tajinderpal Singh Toor is targeting a place in the history books as he bids for a third straight gold medal at the upcoming competition. The 31-year-old, who has dominated his event across the last two editions, is seeking an achievement no Indian track and field athlete has ever accomplished.

A hat-trick of titles would cement Tajinderpal's status as one of India's greatest ever field athletes and mark a landmark moment for the country's athletics programme. He forms part of a wider Indian squad that has set an ambitious target of winning more than twenty medals across the athletics events.
