Asian Games 2014: India win two
medals on Day 2.

India's shooting contingent continued
to spearhead India's medal hunt on
day two of the Incheon Asian Games,
with the team of Jitu Rai, Samresh
Jung and Prakash Nanjappa
combining to win a bronze medal in
Men's 10m Air Pistol Team event.

Ending a 28-year-old medal drought
in badminton at the Asian Games,
India on Sunday settled for the
bronze in the women's team event
going down tamely to hosts South
Korea in the semi-finals at the
Gyeyang Gymnasium.

Though World No.7 Saina Nehwal
gave India a good start by winning
the first singles, her compatriots
went on to lose the next three ties
and go down 1-3 in the last-four
clash.

In shooting, India finished behind
hosts South Korea and China to claim
the third position. But the Indian trio
missed silver by just a whisker. India
finished level with China at 1743
points but had shot the bull's eye 64
times compared to China's 65.
