India’s Medals Tally at Asian Games (AP)
India sits fourth in the list of Asian Games medal tally with eight gold, twelve silver and thirteen bronze medals.
Indian shooters added two gold and three silver medals as the men’s doubles tennis team got silver, women’s squash team bagged bronze and Kiran Baliyan won bronze in the women’s shot put on Friday.
Palak Gulia and Esha Singh made it a one-two in individual 10m air pistol, while the trio of Esha, Palak and Divya won the country a team silver in the event, before the triumvirate of Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar, Swapnil Kusale and Akhil Sheoran added another team gold in 50m rifle 3 positions. The baby-faced 22-year-old Aishwary added another individual silver in rifle 3 positions, fighting an early elimination before finishing second best to a Chinese marksman, who set an Asian Games record. Two teenage dreamy-eyed shooters, Palak Gulia and Esha Singh, set ablaze the shooting range by powering to a gold-silver finish in 10m air pistol event. In one of the most trailblazing efforts seen by the Indians, the young duo challenged each other for the top podium finish until 17-year-old Palak clinched the gold medal and Esha the silver.
Ramkumar Ramanathan and Saketh Myneni lost to Chinese Taipei’s Hsu Yu-Hsiou and Jason Jung 6-4, 6-4 as India had to be satisfied with a silver medal.
Indian women’s squash team signed off with a bronze medal after going down fighting to Hong Kong in the semifinals. Joshna Chinappa was the only Indian who won her match as she defeated world number 24 Tze Lok Ho 3-2 (7-11, 11-7, 9-11, 11-6, 11-8) to level the tie after Tanvi went down meekly (3-0) to Sin Yuk Chan in the opener. Playing against high-ranked and experienced opponent in Lee Ka Yi, the 15-year-old Anahat then tried her best but was undone by her inexperience. The teenager saved eight match points as she went from 10-2 to 10-10 in the third game but eventually lost the final (0-3) 8-11, 7-11, 10-12 and the tie.
Kiran Baliyan finished third to clinch the bronze medal with her best throw of 17.36 in the women’s Shot Put.
