Busan: After grabbing two silver medals from the Changwon international shooting range so far, Indians had an unproductive day on Friday with the women's 50m 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 to fall well short of expectations on a rather disappointing day for the Indian contingent.

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 do well too.

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 1778 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 m pistol while the Chinese team comprising Zhiyuan Niu, Ling Yang and Guobin Zeng took the honour in the men's 10 m 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 m air rifle team event, Manavjit Singh, Mansher Singh and Anwer Sultan claimed the silver in the men's trap team event.
