Mirabai Chanu won silver; India’s men’s and women’s skeet teams bag bronzes (Image credit: Agencies) NEW DELHI: Mirabai Chanu finally ended her long wait for an Asian Games medal, winning silver in the women's 49kg category on Wednesday. The 32-year-old lifted a total of 198kg (88kg+111kg) to finish second.

The medal was India's first Asian Games weightlifting medal since Karnam Malleswari won silver in 1998. Mirabai had been chasing an Asian Games medal since 2014.

The Tokyo Olympic silver medallist once again showed her class on the big stage and added another major medal to her career. With a familiar grin on her face, she made light work of the heavy lifts before declaring that her "life is now complete."

Skeet shooters save the day for IndiaIt was a mixed day for India at the shooting range. The much-anticipated women's 10m air pistol team of double Olympic medallist Manu Bhaker, Suruchi Singh and Esha Singh could not win a medal in either the team or individual events.

Bhaker was the only Indian from the trio to qualify for the individual final, but she finished fifth. The 24-year-old Paris Olympics bronze medallist later broke down while speaking about the emotional impact of the death of her childhood coach Jaspal Rana in June.

The skeet shooters, however, ensured India did not leave the shooting range empty-handed. The men's and women's teams both won bronze medals.

Raiza Dhillon, Maheshwari Chauhan and Parinaaz Dhaliwal combined for a score of 331 to finish third in the women's team event. China won gold with 357 points, while Kazakhstan took silver with 336.

Raiza and Parinaaz also reached the individual finals but could not finish on the podium. In the men's event, Anantjeet Singh Naruka, veteran Mairaj Ahmad Khan and Bhavtegh Singh Gill secured bronze with a combined score of 346.

Anantjeet was the only Indian from the trio to reach the individual final and finished fourth. Wushu: Roshibina enters gold medal clashRoshibina Devi Naorem moved into the gold medal match in the women's 60kg category after defeating Indonesia's Thania Kusumaningtyas 2-0 at the Aichi Prefectural Martial Arts Hall.

She will face China's Xiaoyu Zhang in the final. Roshibina, 25, has already won a silver and a bronze medal in the previous two editions of the Asian Games.
