Hangzhou, Oct 1 (PTI) India’s Amlan Borgohain finished at the third position after clocking a timing of 21.08 seconds in the men’s 200m heats and advanced to the semifinal at the Asian Games here on Sunday.

As per rule, the first three athletes in each heat make the cut for the semi-finals. The top four times from all the heats who have not made the cut will also advance to the semifinals.
