At the Asian Games in Japan, India’s Ancy Sojan Edappilly has won the silver medal in the women’s long jump at Aichi-Nagoya in Japan on Sunday. Ancy recorded a best jump of 6.53m to finish behind Huang Yingying of China, who produced a late 6.55m jump to snatch gold. Ancy recorded 6.53m on her fifth attempt but Yingying had the last laugh, going past the Indian with a 6.55m. There was, however, heartbreak for Ancy’s compatriot Shaili Singh, who missed out on a bronze medal in the women’s long jump final. India’s Harita Bhadra clinched the bronze medal in the women’s 200m, clocking 23.20 seconds in the final. Bhadra finished third, just ahead of Japan’s Ido Abigeirufuka, who clocked 23.21 seconds.
DISTANCE, DETERMINATION, SILVER!
