Asian Games LIVE | Badminton Men’s Team Gold Medal match, India settle for silver

 

Mithun Manjunath lost the second game 4-21 and the match 0-2 and as a result, Team India would have to settle for a silver as they lost the gold medal tie 2-3.

Asian Games LIVE | Badminton Men’s Team Gold Medal match, IND 2-2 CHN

 

Mithun Manjunath has dropped the first game and is trailing 0-2 in the second as well. He needs to bounce back to give India a chance in the Gold medal match. Remember India led 2-0 before Kidambi Srikanth and the doubles pair of MR Arjun and Dhruv Kapila lost their matches in straight sets.

Asian Games 2023 LIVE | Women's 100m hurdles- Jyothi Yarraji's bronze converted to silver

 

Jyothi Yrraji, who finished with a timing of 12.91 seconds to come third in the race, has seen her bronze getting promoted to silver as China's Wu has been disqualified. But why Jyothi was dragged into the disqualification is yet unknown. She could have very well won the gold if she ran with a free mind. We will never know all that.

7:10 PM

Asian Games LIVE | Badminton Men’s Team Gold Medal match, IND 2-2 CHN, Why is Mithun Manjunath playing?

 

Mithun Manjunath of India, who was picked over Priyanshu Rjawat and Kiran George is ranked 53rd in the world and is up against Weng Hongyang who is ranked 20th, one above Kidambi Srikanth as well. 

 

Mithun is playing because HS Prannoy could not play in this final due to an injury. Had Prannoy played, we might not have been going into the fifth game or even if we had, Srikanth would have been up against Hiongyang and not Mithun. But it is how it is at the moment. 

 

Chinese player leads 15-11 in the first set

Asian Games 2023 LIVE | Women's 100m hurdles- Jyothi Yarraji in problem!

 

A lot of interaction is going on between Wu, Yrraji and the officials. It is not clear what conclusion they are reaching as Wu is speaking in Chinese and Yarraji is not speaking at all. The broadcasters are saying that both Wu and Yrrajio will be allowed to run and the decision will be taken after the race ends. This is very weird.
