Lose to lower-ranked Mongolia in a shoot-out
India’s struggling recurve archers were in for more shock with Deepika Kumari and Atanu Das suffering an upset defeat at the hands of lower-ranked Mongolia in the Asian Games here via shootout. The 4-5 loss in the mixed team quarterfinals left the Indian squad shell-shocked as Deepika yet again floundered in pressure situation, finding a seven in the second shot of the shoot-off, which led to their ouster. Meanwhile, India’s compound team of Abhishek Verma and Jyoti Surekaha moved to the quarterfinal with a 155-147 win over Iraq’s Fatima Saad Mahmood and Eshaq Ibrahim Mohammed. They will next take on Iran.

Team quarterfinals: India knocked out
Biswajyoti Brahma, Shuttlers knocked out in team quarterfinals, August 21, 2018: The Times of India
PV Sindhu won her match but the rest faltered as the Indian shuttlers failed to put it across Japan and crashed out in the women’s team quarterfinals at the Asian Games. The Indian men’s team did no better, going down to Indonesia in the team quarterfinals later in the day.
Sindhu gave India a winning start in the first singles, beating Akane Yamaguchi in straight games in 44 minutes. The Indian, who enjoyed a 7-4 head-to-head advantage over the Japanese going into the match, was tested by her rival but she used her experience to prevail in the contest 21-18, 21-19.
India wasted the lead in the next match itself when their doubles pair of N Sikki Reddy and Arathi Sara Sunil went down tamely in the doubles 15-21, 6-21 in 34 minutes against Yuki Fukushima and Sayaka Hirota.
All hopes then rested on veteran Saina Nehwal to regain India’s lead, but she failed to deliver. After losing the first game in the match against Nozomi Okuhara 11-21, Sania made a spirited comeback taking the second game 25-23. But her rival ran away with the match in 71 minutes by taking the third game 21-16.
This was Saina’s second straight loss against Okuhara, who had beaten the Indian in the World Championships last year.
Sindhu later tied up with Ashwini Ponnappa in the fourth match, but failed to do much as Misaki Matsutomo and Ayaka Takahashi wrapped it up 21-13, 21-12 to dash India’s hopes. “They had a strong defence and had prepared well for this match. We tried hard, but it did not work out for us,” Sindhu said.
The men’s team also faced a similar fate as they went down against Indonesia 1-3, with HS Pannoy registering the lone victory for the Indians.
The Indians were caught on the wrong foot when their No. 1 player Kidambi Srikanth was stunned by Anthony Sinsuka 21-23, 22-20, 10-21 in just over an hour. The Indians failed to recover from that setback. They lost the next match, a doubles contest, by three games.
Prannoy delayed the inevitable by winning his tie against Jonatan Christie 21-15, 19-21, 21-19 but Indonesia sealed the issue by winning the doubles match that followed.

The spectators in the stands had sensed an upset and were vociferously rooting for the littleknown Thi Trang Vu in her opening match against PV Sindhu in the women’s singles at the Asian Games. The world No. 53 from Vietnam was playing like a dream and was very close to show the World No. 3 the door in the very first round itself.
With one-game all and 21-21 in the decider, it could have gone either way, but Sindhu used all her experience to salvage the situation – first forcing an unforced error by her rival before smashing the winner much to the relief of her supporters.
Sindhu was herself to be blamed for the predicament against an opponent against she had never played before. After winning the first game 21-10 in just 10 minutes, it was expected to be cakewalk for her. But her trouble started soon after that.
Errors crept into her game and she struggled to keep her returns in play while smashing others into the net. It was a capitulation of sort in the second game which Thi won 21-12. “I was making too many errors,” she admitted later. The third game was a see-saw battle with both players trying hard. But the turning point came when Sindhu hit a return at 21-20 and started celebrating thinking that she had closed the match, only to be disappointed when it was ruled out. “I was angry. I thought that was in. I asked the umpire but he said it was out,” Sindhu said.
But that was enough motivation for Sindhu to win the next two points to seal the issue.
Saina Nehwal, meanwhile, cruised to an emphatic 21-7, 21-9 win in 27 minutes against Soraya Aghaeihajiagha of Iran. The Indian did not break a sweat as she advanced without much fuss. In other matches, Ashwini Ponnappa and Sikki Reddy advanced in women’s doubles. The pair of Satwik Rankireddy and Chirag Reddy as well as Sumeeth Reddy and Manu Attri progressed in men’s doubles.
SRIKANTH, PRANNOY SUFFER SHOCK EXITS
Top Indian shuttlers Kidambi Srikanth and HS Prannoy were knocked out of the 18th Asian Games after suffering shock defeats in the second round of the men’s singles competition on Friday. After Srikanth lost 21-23, 19-21 to Wong Wing Ki Vincent of Hong Kong in a 43-minute duel, Prannoy too followed suit going down 12-21, 21-15, 15-21 to Thailand’s Kantaphon Wangcharoen in a 65-minute contest. However, Ashwini Ponnappa and N Sikki Reddy reached the quarterfinals with a thrilling 21-17, 16-21, 21-19 win over higher-ranked Malaysian combination of Chow Mei Kuan and Lee Meng Yean in women’s doubles.

Biswajyoti Brahma, August 26, 2018: The Times of India
It was a tricky match for Saina Nehwal. The Indian was not only playing against a competent shuttler, but she was also up against a stadium full of supporters who were shouting hoarse for the local girl, world No. 40 Fitriani. The feisty Indian did not let it affect her game as she advanced to the quarterfinals with a 21-6, 21-14 win.
After Saina’s win in the first match of the day, Sindhu defeated another Indonesian, world No. 22 Gregoria Mariska, 21-12, 21-15 to secure a last eight berth.
Saina got a taste of things to come when Fitriani won the first point of the match – the entire stadium tried to get under the skin of the Indian by cheering for the Indonesian loudly, making a lot of noises. It failed to distract the experienced Indian who went on to win the first game quite easily.
The Indonesia had the Indian on the backfoot in the second game by taking a 9-5 lead, but Saina upped her game to pocket the contest in 33 minutes.
Sindhu made a good start in her match, racing to a 7-0 lead in no time, leaving her rival to do all the catching-up in the first game. The Indonesian put up a slightly better display in the second game, but that was not enough.
All other Indians in the fray on Saturday suffered losses. Commonwealth Games silver medallists Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty lost to South Korea’s Choi Solgyu and Min Hyuk Kang in men’s doubles. Manu Attri and Sumeeth Reddy also lost in men’s doubles while the pair of Ashwini Ponnappa and Sikki Reddy crashed out of women’s doubles competition.

Bridge
The team
Sometimes listening to your doctor’s poker-faced advice is the best hand you can play. Just ask Finton Lewis.
Told to “simply waste your time” four years ago by his doctor, Lewis did just that – or probably, completely misread the message. Today, that sage advice has led to one of the most interesting stories at the Asian Games here at Jakarta.
Lewis, a retired 64-year-old school teacher from Mumbai had just recovered from colon cancer and his doctor advised him to “enjoy life to the fullest”. Not really sure what to do, the lover of mathematics turned to a deck of cards, and a sport that his brother had introduced him to nearly four decades earlier. That was it and at 64, a potential Asian Games medal winner was taking shape.
As the bridge event got underway at the Asian Games here on Tuesday, Lewis could not be blamed for concealing a quiet chuckle as he peered over his cards. “What a fantastic way to waste your time,” he must have thought.
Bridge was the Sudoku of a time before the 1990s. Till the advent of online games at the turn of the century, bridge was what your fathers played after officehours and you secretly wished you could learn, and join.
Today, Lewis and Team India are hoping to take bridge back into the mainstream here at Jakarta. A podium finish, a medal around their necks wouldn’t hurt either.
Lewis is part of an eclectic 24-strong Indian mix at Jakarta. The wife of a former union minister and a few septuagenarians are part of the group.
At 79, Rita Choksi is the oldest member of the Indian contingent, and is the ‘elder’ in a squad with an average age of well over 50. Three years Rita’s junior, 76-year-old Vasanti Shah has problem moving around, but that doesn’t deter her from giving her best in India’s bid at the Asiad.
Hema Deora, 67, is the wife of former petroleum minister Murali Deora, while among the ‘younger’ lot, the dashing Jaggy Shivdasani (60) wants to inspire youngsters to break his 42-yearold national record in the sport. 48-year-old Himani Khandelwal and husband Rajeev Khandelwal
(54) are simply happy to soak in the indescribable” feeling of representing India.
The players see the Jakarta experience as an opportunity to drive home the message that bridge is a mind sport and not just another a card game.
Most players rued the fact that India is not producing enough young bridge players unlike in countries in Europe or like China and Singapore.
“For many in India, bridge is cards and cards means gambling,” Shivdasani told TOI on Tuesday, “But in reality, it’s not so and that perception needs to change,” he said.
“There is a need to make youngsters aware of this sport and the governments should promote it,” said Hema Deora, who sponsors several teams in different bridge competitions.
Vasanti Shah said she played bridge since it helped her stay alert. “It’s a passion for me. I picked it up quite early from my father, and I can feel the difference it can make to me even at this age. It helps me stay alert.”
Lewis says he’s saddened to see limited knowledge of the game in the country. “I would love to see the game grow. Right now, the spectator interest is very low,” he lamented.
Shivdasani is the current record holder in Indian bridge, being the youngest-ever national winner at 18 years. “I was a teenager when I won the national championship. Even after 42 years, that record stands. I would love for it to be broken,” he said.

But Gymnast Will Take Part In Beam Final
Dipa Karmakar, who made an appearance in a multi-discipline event for the first time in two years, has pulled out of Wednesday’s women’s team final at the Asian Games after hurting her knee. Dipa hurt her right knee, on which she had undergone surgery for an injury, while landing during a practice session ahead of her participation in the women’s qualification for team and apparatus finals.
The injury did not allow the Indian to give her all in events on August 21, 2018 and she failed to qualify for the individual final in vault. Instead, her compatriots Budda Aruna Reddy and Pranati Nayak made the grade along with the team. The Tripura girl made it to the final in the individual beam event — not her forte — and will take part in that.

A ruthless Indian women's hockey team today mauled lowly Kazakhstan 21-0 to notch up their second biggest win at the Asian Games here. Goals rained thick and fast in the Pool B match at the GBK Hockey Field with as many as 10 Indians out of 18, who took the field, entering their names in the scoresheet.
The Indians scored almost at will against the hapless Kazakhstan team but the scoreline missed their all-time Asian Games record of 22-0 by a goal. The Indian women's team had beaten Hong Kong 22-0 in the 1982 Asiad. Drag-flicker Gurjit Kaur, who had also scored a hat-trick in India's 8-0 thrashing of Indonesia in their opening match, top-scored again with four goals in the eighth, 36th, 44th and 52nd minutes.
Lalremsiami (9th, 19th, 29th), Navneet Kaur (11th, 12th and 49th) and Vandana Katariya (29th, 37th and 52nd) were the other three hat-trick scorers. Navjot Kaur (16th and 54th), Lilima Minz (38th and 44th), Neha Goyal (10th), Udita (34th), Deep Grace Ekka (43rd) and Monika (55th) were the other goal scorers for India in the completely lop-sided match with Kazakhstan defending all through.
India, who had won a bronze in the 2014 Asian Games, are currently ranked ninth while Kazakhstan are 34th in the latest FIH chart. India is the highest ranked team in the competition.

India secure historic bronze
August 22, 2018: The Times of India
It was a ‘victory in defeat’ for the Indian men’s sepaktakraw team which settled for its maiden Asian Games bronze medal after being beaten by a formidable Thailand in the semifinals here on Tuesday. The Indian men’s regu team lost to Thailand 0-2 but picked up a bronze as both the losing semifinalists are also awarded a medal.
Sepaktakraw, which directly translates to kick the ball, has been part of the Games program since 1990. India has participated since the 2006 edition and is slowly catching with the South East Asian countries, where the sport has a huge following. Thailand has won a whopping 22 gold medals at the Games and Myanmar is a distant second in the list with five gold.
The Indian team was training in Thailand for the past two months and that made a huge difference, according to chief coach Hem Raj. “The only way is up for these boys. The government has put us in the priority sport list and we will continue to repay their faith with good performances,” an ecstatic Raj said.
Eight of the 12 members of the squad are from Manipur and the rest from Delhi. The sport is quite popular in Manipur, primarily because of its proximity to Myanmar. “Yes, that is how the sport became so popular in Manipur. It is close to Myanmar and it has always been easy to source equipments from there. Now we use synthetic balls but back in the day, we used to get balls made of bamboo. That was the traditional way of playing the sport,” said another team official Muhindro Singh Thokchom.
Football is also popular in the Northeast and that is another reason why most India players are coming from that region, including captain Niken Singh and Alaksh Yumnam, the acrobatic striker who earlier used to play the ‘beautiful game’. “Compared to people from the other parts of India, people from Manipur pick up the sport faster. They are naturally agile and very skilful with their feet. But slowly the game is getting popular in other parts of the country too,” added Thokchom.
The men’s team is not done yet and promises another medal in regu. The women’s team failed to win a medal but they too are improving fast.

Chaudhary’s gold came after a thrilling contest with a former world champion — Japan’s Tomoyuki Matsuda — who dominated the final and led all the way till the penultimate shot. After an average start in the final, during which he came up with three straight sub-10 shots, the Indian shot 10-plus scores consistently to bridge the gap between him and the leader.

An 8.9 at a crucial juncture by the Japanese handed the lead to the Indian who closed the contest with shots of 10.2 and 10.4. Matsuda’s 10.3 in the final shot had no impact on the outcome as the Japanese finished one point behind to take silver. London Olympic gold medallist Jin Jongoh of South Korea finished fifth.

Divya Kakran shrugged off a crushing quarterfinal defeat to bag a bronze, ensuring that medals continued to come from the wrestling arena, even as three other Indians crashed out early at the Asian Games on Tuesday. Kakran was demolished by the experienced Mongolian Tumentsetseg Sharkhuu in the quarterfinals of the 68kg category but the Delhi athlete was lucky she did not have to come through a repechage to be in contention for bronze. The draw was such that she was pitted against Chinese Taipei’s Chen Wenling without playing a repechage round and won the bout in just one minute 29 seconds by technical superiority. Divya had won a bronze at the 2018 Gold Coast CWG and silver at the recently-held Asian Junior Championship in New Delhi.
Other results
Three other wrestlers could not reach the medal round. Kiran was ousted from 76kg. The Greco Roman competition started on Tuesday but India did not have anything to cheer about. Gyanender lost in the 60kg while Manish was ousted from 67kg competition. Harpreet Singh is now India’s best bet in Greco Roman.

All the four Indian wushu players lost their semifinal bouts to settle for bronze medals on Wednesday but ensured that the country produced its best-ever performance in the Asian Games. Naorem Roshibini Devi, Santosh Kumar, Surya Bhanu Partap Singh and Narender Grewal lost their Sanda event semifinal bouts but in the process gave the Indian team an unprecedented four medals in the Asian Games.
Before this edition, India had taken part in the 2006, 2010 and 2014 Asian Games and this four medal haul has been the best so far. In 2014 Incheon, India had won two bronze with Grewal clinching one in men’s Sanda 60kg.
Thus for Grewal, this bronze is his second medal in the Asian Games. In the 2006 and 2010 Asian Games, India had won one (bronze) and two (one silver, one bronze) medals respectively. Roshibini Devi was the first to take the field in women’s Sanda 60kg semifinals and she lost to Cai Yingying of China 0-1.
Next up was Santosh Kumar in men’s Sanda 56kg category but he was no match to Truong Giang Bui of Vietnam as he lost 0-2 in the semifinal bout. Any hopes of an Indian wushu player appearing in the finals on Thursday went up in smokes as Partap Singh (men’s Sanda 60kg) and Grewal (men’s Sanda 65kg) lost their semifinal bouts.
Partap Singh lost to Erfan Ahangarian 0-2 while Grewal was beaten by Akmal Rakhimov of Uzbekistan by the same margin.
