In contention: Vikas threw an impressive 62.35m at a meet in the US last month making him one of the top three Asians in the world this year. Now, with just a couple of days for the curtains to go up for the Asians, Vikas has been put in a very awkward situation. He is the Commonwealth Games champion, a two-time Asian Championships gold medallist, was in the top 10 at the last three World Championships and at the 2012 London Olympics finished a creditable eighth. Incidentally, Vikas threw an impressive 62.35m at a meet in Chula Vista in the US last month. Incidentally, all the three are yet to make the cut for this August’s World Championships in London.
