7:43 PM

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. 

 

For India, Lakshya Sen and the men’s doubles pair of Satwik Siaraj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty won their matches while Kidambi Srikanth alongside the men’s doubles pair of MR Arjun and Dhruv Kapila lost their matches apart from Manjunath.

7:33 PM

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

 

Mithun Manjunath seems to have given up now as he trails 1-13 in the second game, having lost the first one 12-21.

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.

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 gets bronze

 

Jyothi Yrraji finished with a timing of 12.91 seconds better than her heat timing, but nowhere near to her personal best of 12.78 seconds and got the bronze after all the mess that took place before the start of the race

Asian Games 2023 LIVE | Women's 100m hurdles- Jyothi Yarraji finishes in bronze medal position

 

After all that has happened, Jyothi Yrraji has finished in the bronze medal position. But will she get the bronze or the silver after Wu is disqualified?

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.

6:50 PM

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

 

It's a false start and the technicians are now checking what the reason was for the false start. Yes, Wu of China has been eliminated and it is Jyothi Yarraji who is also being ejected as she protests. 

6:45 PM

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

 

As was expected the gold medal match came to the fifth game after the Chinese Doubles pair won their match and made it 2-2
