Young Manu Bhaker finished on the 6th as she struggled to score in the final but before that she shot brilliantly in the qualifications to qualify for the final in the top spot ... Manu's score of 593 wasn't just a Games Record but it's also one point above the Olympic Games Record of 592 ... Rahi qualified for the final on the 7th position with 580.

Before that, he defeated last Asian games silver medalist Japanese wrestler, Masato Sumi, comfortably but lost convincingly in the semis against last Asian games gold medalist Rustam Assakalov.

In Wushu, our four players lost in the semi-final of Sanda in their weight categories ... So with that we assured 4 more bronze medals ... Impressed with young 17 yrs. old Roshibina Devi in Women's 60 kg category ... Gyandash Singh Mayanglambam finished on the 4th position in Men's Taijiquan and Taijijian All-Round event final.
