2018 Asian Games Champion Swapna Barman will make her return to the international stage as she will compete in her forte heptathlon event on Day 3 of the Asian Athletics Championship 2023 at the Supachalasai Stadium in Bangkok on Friday (July 14).

Among other big names competing in the day, the men's shot put final in the evening session will see Tajinderpal Singh Toor present his challenge for the gold medal after renewing the Asian and national record during the Inter-State Athletics Championships in Bhubaneswar last month.

Also in the hunt for the gold medal would be prodigal talent Shaili Singh and her senior compatriot Ancy Sojan in the women's long jump final as 18 athletes will compete in the event after the qualifying session on Day 2 was called off.

Apart from the big names, the men's 400m hurdles morning session will see Yashash P and Santhosh KT compete in the qualifying heats while Parul Chaudhary will compete in the women's 3000m steeplechase final, along with Priti.

The men's steeplechase final will be without its star name Avinash Sable as he is training for the bigger events in the season while unheralded Bal Kishan and Mohammad Nurhasan will represent India instead after breaching the qualification standard during the Federation Cup in Ranchi.

India so far are third on the medal tally while tied for three gold medals with China while Japan are at the top with five gold. All three Indian gold medals came on Day 2 with 100m hurdle star Jyothi Yarraji winning the Asian crown in a rain-soaked race.

Ajay Kumar Saroj won the men's 1500 final while Commonwealth Games silver medallist Abdulla Aboobacker reigned supreme in the men's high jump final. Two bronze medals were also claimed on the day by Indians with high jump national record holder Tejaswin Shankar claiming podium place in decathlon while Aishwarya Mishra finished third in women's 400m final.
