In the first heat of the day, Armyman Bhokanal finished the 2000m race with a timing of 7:21.67s behind Angel Fournier Rodriguez of Cuba (7:06.89s) and Mexico&rsquo;s Juan Carlos Cabrera (7:08.27s).
Bhokanal was in second place for the first 500 metres of the race but started to lag behind once the Mexican in lane two picked up the pace around the 700 metres mark.
The well built Cuban and the Mexican then increased their lead from the rest but Bhokanal maintained his third position although he was more than 13 seconds behind the second placed Cabrera.
