India finishes fifth in equestrian team event
Tuesday, October 8 2002 19:45 Hrs (IST)

Busan: After having won a bronze medal in team event, India finished fifth in team dressage in equestrian in the Asian Games on Tuesday.

The team comprising Sunil Shiv Das, Mritunjay Rathore, Vishal Bishnoi and Sandeep Dewan put up a rather dismal show to take the fifth position with a total of 2849 points.

While Das was the pick of the Indian performers with a score of 995, Rathore (914), Bishnoi (853) and Dewan (940) could not show the desired consistency.

The strong Korean team comprising Jung-Kyun Suh, Chang Moo shin, Jung Keun Kim and Jun Sang Choi claimed the honour with a total of 3493 while the Japanese team of Yuriko Miyoshi, Masumi Yokokawa, Hiroyuki Kitahara and Naoko Hitomi took the silver medal with a tally of 3431 points.
