Afghan cyclist Fariba Hashimi, who once posed as a man to engage in cycling in her home country, has secured a silver medal in the women's road race at the 20th Asian Games held in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan. The 23-year-old athlete finished second in the road race final at the Shinshiro Cycling Road Course, with China's Guo Li clinching the gold and Hong Kong's Leung Wing Yee claiming the bronze.

Hashimi's triumph occurred two days after she placed seventh in the women's individual time trial, where she competed against 14 other riders, ultimately finishing two minutes and three seconds behind Kazakhstan's Rinata Sultanova, who claimed victory in that event.
