In a new format, there are no finals in track and field (with the exception of 4km cross-country) in the Youth Olympics and each event is held twice, with results from both rounds counting towards the final standings. The 17-year-old Panwar had finished second in the first stage in 20.23.30s, behind Patin Oscar of Ecuador.<\/p>\n<p>Oscar, who finished second in Stage 2, won the gold with timings of 20:13.69s and 20:38.17s. Panwar&#8217;s total time of 40:59.17s was over seven minutes slower than Oscar&#8217;s 40:51.86s. Puerto Rico&#8217;s Jan Moreu finished third to claim the bronze. This is India&#8217;s first athletics medal in this edition and third overall. Arjun (men&#8217;s discus throw) and Durgesh Kumar had won a silver each in the inaugural edition in 2010. &#8220;It&#8217;s a great feeling. I am very happy to have won a medal.

It is my first medal for India,&#8221; Panwar said after winning the silver medal. &#8220;My next target is to better my performance here and win a medal in the senior level also,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>India&#8217;s Suraj Panwar clinched a silver in men&#8217;s 5000m race walk event in the ongoing Youth Olympic Games to open the country&#8217;s medal account in athletics.
