Yeah well we have also pushed Kabaddi in the Asian Games which assures us of 2 Gold Medals. Two events where we used to win medals and they are removed now from Asian Games are Chess and Cue Sports (Billiards, Snooker)
Its a great achievement by the girls as the girls have now qualified for the World Cup on merit.
However,it is difficult for me to say about their performance in terms of game play,game control ,skill awareness ,skill execution etc because the matches were not telecasted.
The last time i saw our Women"s Team play was the Hockey World League this year.In that Tournament,they were painful to watch and were quite bad to be honest.The level of the Women"s Hockey is quite bad to be Honest globally.So,it remains to be seen that what exactly is the reason behind their undefeated success at the Asia Cup(other"s fielding a weaker team or us playing good Hockey.)
India ended the Commonwealth Shooting Championships with a rich haul of 20 medals after Satyendra Singh and Sanjeev Rajput won a gold and a silver respectively in the men's 50m rifle 3 positions event on Monday.
The Indian squad won a total of six gold, seven silver and seven bronze medals during the competition.
MC Mary Kom (48kg) remained on course for a fifth Asian Championships gold after making the finals along with Sonia Lather (57kg) while five others settled for bronze medals at the continental showpiece on Tuesday.
Former world champion L Sarita Devi (64kg), Priyanka Chaudhary (60kg), Lovlina Borgohain (69kg), Seema Punia (+81kg) and Shiksha (54kg) signed off with bronze medals after losing their respective semi-final bouts.
