India's shooters enjoyed another strong day at the Asian Games on Friday, with their men's 50m rifle team breaking the world record on the way to beating China for gold on day six of competition in Hangzhou.
Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar, Swapnil Suresh Kusale and Akhil Sheoran secured gold with a total of 1,769 points, six points more than China and eight more than the previous record set by the United States last November."We are like brothers," Kusale said."We help each other and stick together."
"A stupendous win, prestigious gold and a world record," he posted to his 92 million followers on the X platform, formerly known as Twitter."They have shown exceptional determination and teamwork." "I was the champion in the last Asian Games and to become champion now was not easy because these past two years I have actually experienced ups and downs," said 20km world record holder Yang Jiayu after pipping compatriot Ma Zhenxia to gold by one second.
"I love Lionel Messi," said Thailand's men's team player, Pattarapong Yupadee, 39."And I hope that this sport will spread throughout the world and that every continent can play this sport, because I think it's a very charming sport."
