The Inter-State Athletics meet, which took place in Bhubaneswar last week, was allocated as the primary qualifying event for the upcoming Asian Games by the Athletics Federation of India (AFI). This was also the last event in India to achieve the mark.

As of now, over 70 Indian athletes achieved the qualification standard set by the AFI, both at the event and while competing abroad [Neeraj Chopra and Avinash Sable, who were the only athletes exempted from the meet].

Some athletes, such as long jumper Jeswin Aldrin, had achieved the qualification standard while competing abroad, but as per the AFI selection policy all athletes except the above mentioned had to compete at the Inter-States as well to seal their berths in the Asian Games contingent.

While multiple athletes have met the qualification standard in a few events, the AFI selection panel is likely to choose only the top two in each discipline. The AFI is expected to finalize the list in the coming weeks. They will also announce the relay teams along with the final squad.

Here's is a list of athletes who went past the qualification mark at the Inter-State, unless stated otherwise.
