Wushu girls shine with bronze

Wednesday, 24 September 2014 | PTI | Incheon

Wushu players delivered two bronze through Yumnam Sanathoi Devi and Narender Grewal after they lost their respective semifinal contests to cap off India's campaign on an impressive note on the fourth day of the competitions at the Asian Games here on Tuesday.

Sanathoi lost to Zhang luan of China in women's Sanda 52kg category semifinals, while Grewal was defeated by Jean Claude Saclag of The Philippines in men's Sanda 60kg semifinals. Both the Indians went down in identical 0-2 'Win by Round' verdicts. The two bronze today ensured that wushu players managed to equal the two medals they bagged in the 2010 edition in Guangzhou, China where India won a silver and a bronze. Sanathoi could not give much fight to her Chinese opponent who was clearly the better player in the contest and it was no surprise that the Manipuri lost in first two rounds. But, it was a tough fight between Grewal and Jean Claude and the Indian was really aggressive against his Filipino opponent.
