THE ASIAN Games are better than ever before with India grabbing its maiden gold in rowing and silver in Wushu (which is a new addition) and progressing steadily in tennis and hockey. Shooting, another strong sport this year brought silver and a bronze.
India surely is doing well so far and fingers are crossed to see if the performance is continued. As far as the 7th day is concerned India had lot of action stored for keen followers.
Firstly, early morning India grabbed the long awaited second gold medal at the men’s singles rowing competition and soon after that Minz-Puhana won bronze in the rowing women's pair event. Another silver was added to the kitty in the Men's Eight rowing competition. So, rowing brought in a lot of applauds and the much awaited gold for India.
In tennis our own star Sania Mirza qualified to the quarterfinals and is inching closer towards the medal rounds. Hopes are set and pressure is mounting, such pressure only in a way prevented Saina- the badminton starlet to grab any of the medals as she lost in the quarterfinals early this morning.
After the early gold for India, India has landed in the 11th position in the medals tally with two gold medals. They were at 12th position at the start of the day. Malaysia is in 10th spot with three golds. If India wins another gold medal now, they will go past Malaysia because they have won eight silvers to Malaysia's three.
