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.
