Coach not impressed by 'gift'

India's Sudha Singh thought she had provided the best farewell gift to her coach by winning gold in the women's 3,000m steeplechase on Sunday, but her mentor was less than thrilled by his charge's performance.

"I'm very, very happy to win the gold medal. I didn't expect to win here," said Singh. "The Chinese girl was running very fast and I didn't know whether I had won until the result flashed on the scoreboard," said the 24-year-old after defeating China's Jin Yuan by 0.07 sec.

"Today's result is already my personal best. I improved myself here and I'm now the new national record holder."
