India's women's 50m rifle prone team seventh

After grabbing two silver medals from the Changwon international shooting range, India had an unproductive day on Friday, with the women's 50 metres rifle prone team finishing seventh at the 14th Asian Games.

The team, comprising star shooter Anjali Bhagwat, Raj Kumari and Kuheli Gangulee, could manage a score of 1738 points and fell well short of expectations.

Although the Indians were not really expected to win a medal in the event, the seventh position came as a disappointment, with Anjali managing a total of 585. Raj Kumari (577) and Kuheli Gangulee (576) did not perform as well.

The gold medal in the event went to the South Korean trio of Mi Kyung Lee, Hyun Ah Kong, Sun Min Lee, who set a new Asian Games record with a total of 1778 points, while the Chinese team, comprising Xian Wang, Hong Shan and Jing Gao, had to be content with the silver despite having an identical score of 1778.

The Kazakhstan team of Olga Dovgun, Galina Korchma, Varvara Kovalenko took home the bronze medal with 1772 points.

It was yet another day of Chinese domination at the shooting range as they added two more gold medals to their kitty.

The Indians featured in only one of the three events scheduled for the day.

China's Ying Chen won the gold medal in the women's 25 metres pistol while the Chinese team, comprising Zhiyuan Niu, Ling Yang and Guobin Zeng, took the honours in the men's 10 metres running target event, setting a new Asian Games record of 1720 points.

The Indians have won just two silver medals in four days of competition so far. While Anjali Bhagwat, Suma Shirur and Deepali Deshpande clinched the silver medal in the women's 10 metres air rifle team event, Manavjit Singh, Mansher Singh and Anwer Sultan claimed the silver in the men's trap team event.
