Thiruvananthapuram, March 20 (Ians) Haryana’s Krishan Kumar stepped up the pace approaching the halfway mark and topped the men’s 800m in the Indian Grand Prix 1 at the Laxmibai National College of Physical Education here on Monday.
In clocking 1:47.26, his second-best time over the distance, the Armyman met the Asian Games qualifying standard of 1:49.05 in the event organised by the Athletics Federation of India (AFI).
Krishan Kumar, the National Games silver medallist, also owed it to Madhya Pradesh 18-year-old Parvej Khan, who ran a hard first 300m and set the pace for the taller Krishan Kumar to utilise to his advantage.
Parvej, who finished third in race A in 1:51.10, missed out on a podium place as Prakash Balu Gadade won race B in 1:50.56 and claimed the silver medal, the AFI informed in a report on its official website.
