HANGZHOU, China : South Korea crushed China's dreams in the women's team badminton final to take gold, but elsewhere on Sunday at the Asian Games in Hangzhou the hosts fared better, including setting a new world record on the way to gold in the women's team trap shooting.
But Chen was no match for An who won 2-0 , before An's teammates followed suit in the doubles and the other singles match, also with 2-0 wins, for South Korea to wrap up the tie 3-0. The silver medal went to India, whose team included Rajeshwari Kumari, 31, daughter of acting president of the Olympic Council of Asia and former Asian Games champion in shooting, Randhir Singh.
In the golf however India number one Aditi Ashok gave up a seven-shot lead in a final-day meltdown to lose her gold medal chance, allowing world number 206 Arpichaya Yubol to claim an unlikely title for Thailand.
