They Acheive GOLD Second Time in Asin Games:Womens kabadi Team
The Indian women’s
kabaddi team notched up its second successive gold medal at the Asian Games,
beating Iran 31-21 in the summit clash here today.
India
thus maintained their supremacy in women’s kabaddi, which made its Asiad debut
in the previous edition in Guangzhou.In the
final match, the Indians were slow off the blocks but clawed back with utmost
ease showing just why they are considered the powerhouse of the sport.
Against
the very determined Iranians, India led the first half 15-11 before completely
dominating the second half to seal the game.The
Indians managed get the entire opposition declared out twice in the match,
which gave them four ‘lona’ points — a feat that Iran failed to do even once.
In the
end, India were too strong and technically sound for the Iranians to beat
despite their determination.Nonetheless,
it was an improvement for Iran on the podium as they had won a bronze in the previous
edition.
