Fast-rising Rezoana Mallick Heena and Bharatpreet Singh clinched a gold medal each in women's 400m race and men's discus throw respectively to launch India's campaign at the Asian U-20 Athletics Championship on an emphatic note, here on Sunday.


Heena clocked 53.31 seconds -- just a tad below her personal best of 53.22s -- to win the gold.
