Dutee Chand's story is the perfect script for a Bollywood potboiler. Kicked out of the Asian Games squad four years ago over a hyperandrogenism row, she fought her way back, both on and off the track, and last night clinched a silver medal in the 100m dash at this edition of the quadrennial competition. She finished second, clocking 11.32s, only 0.02. seconds off gold medallist Bahrain's Odiong Edidiong's timing.

Dutee began the race brilliantly and was in the lead briefly before Edidiong stunned the field, emerging late to win via a photo finish. Dutee's feat equals the best finish by an Indian woman in the 100m sprint and has come after 32 years — PT Usha last bagged silver at the 1986 Asian Games in Seoul.
