Busan: The Indian shooters scooped up another silver medal to take its tally to two
but pistol king Japsal Rana returned with a disappointing performance to further
diminish India's medal prospects in the shooting event of the 14th Asian Games on
Thursday.
The trio of Manavjit Singh, Mansher Singh and Anwar Sultan brought some cheer for
the country by securing the silver medal in the men's trap team event with a total
of 340 on a day, which saw below par performances by the Indian shooters at the
Changwon International shooting range.
Though they failed to upset the applecart of the strong Chinese shooters, the Indian
trio displayed superb skill and concentration to make it to the medal podium by
winning the second medal from the shooting ranges.
The coveted gold medal was expectedly claimed by the Chinese team comprising Yongiie
Zhang, Hui Li and Lixin Huang who finished with 353 points while the Philippines
team of Jethro Dionisio, Eric Ang and Jaime Recio took the bronze medal with a total
of 331 points.
