Indian shooters clinch another silver medal at Asiad
Thursday, October 3 2002 17:06 Hrs (IST)

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.
