The Asian Games in Hangzhou witnessed some world-class performances over two weeks of action in 40 sports.
The 27-year-old sprinter took a leap of faith earlier this year and was rewarded in Hangzhou with 200m gold.
They started with a bang on the opening day of weightlifting as Ri Song Gum broke two world records in the women's 49kg. The Olympic and world champion won six gold medals, more than anyone else, winning the 50m, 100m and 200m fly, 50m freestyle and helping China surge to two relay titles. Under pressure after teammate Kishore Kumar Jena produced a huge personal best of 87.54m, Chopra responded with a season's best 88.88m -- longer than the 88.17m that won him the world title at Budapest in August.
