Susanthika, the Asian Games record-holder at 100 metres, took a quarter-second victory in 11.32 seconds. It was her third victory on the circuit. Her only loss was in Thailand, where she blamed food for an off performance. She said she had to overcome another ailment on Monday. ``Yesterday, I had a bad fever, so I thought, `How can I run?' '' she said. ``I had to be rushed to the emergency room for treatment.'' Darsha, the Asian Games record-holder at 200 and 400 metres, won the 400 in 52.12 seconds for her third gold of the tour. Finishing off sweeps of all the four meets were Chernoval Gennady of Kazakhstan in the men's 100 metres, Tricia Roberts of Thailand in the women's 100 metre hurdles, Mohammed al-Salhi of Saudi Arabia in the men's 800 metres, Mohammad al-Khuwaidi also of Saudi in the long jump, Abbas Samini of Iran in the discus and Uzbekistan's Sergey Voynov in the javelin. All won gold in the first three legs held in India, Sri Lanka and Thailand. Roberts, 32, won the 100 hurdles in 12.94 seconds. ``My start was really good,'' Roberts said. ``The last two years, I have struggled with it, and this year am back on it. I need a little break after all this travelling.'' Gennady, who hopes to qualify for the Olympics next year in Athens, was clocked in 10.31 seconds to take the men's 100. ``I am glad it's finished,'' he said. ``I am so happy.
