Asian Games 2010 Medal Tally : China dominates as India slips to 9th Position

China continues to dominated the 16th Asian Games at home at Guangzhou where as Star shooters of India who shined bright in the Commonwealth Games held in India struggle against the windy conditions in China. Indian shooters disappoint today as they fail to win any medals for the third consecutive days where some better performance by Samaresh Jung saved the day to an extent for India.

Jung missed the men’s 25m standard pistol shoot-off for the bronze by one point in a straight final to finish 7th overall with 569 points from amongst 39 shooters, however his two other teammates, Pemba Tamang and Chandrahas Chaudhary, performed very poorly, shooting only 550 and 549 out of 600 to end up 22nd and 23rd respectively. North Korea won the bronze medal in the combined effort with 1690 points where India's team only managed to score 1168 points where as South Korea won the gold.

Indian squad disappoint in the four-way shoot-off where China’s Jin Yongde won the bronze while the gold and silver went to South Korea’s Hong Seonghwan (575 with 20 tens) and North Korea’s (573 with 14 tens).

India has now slipped on to the 9th position with just 1 Gold medal where China, R.O Korea and Japan rules the roost with 77, 22 & 15 gold medal respectively.
