Asian Games: Operating At 50%, Prannoy Goes Down In Semis; Bags Bronze For India After 41 Years (ld)
Lee Zii Jin: Still suffering from the recurring back injury that he picked in training before the event, India's H.S. Prannoy went down to China's Li Shifeng in the men's singles semifinals at the Asian Games to settle for a bronze medal here on Friday.
Operating at 50 percent of his capacity, Prannoy lost16-21, 9-21 in straight games to bag India its second medal in men's singles -- after a gap of 41 years. Syed Modi had won a bronze medal in men's singles in the 1982 games in New Delhi.
Prannoy had a decent lead in the first game but could not capitalise on that as the Chinese 23-year-old played a superb game and did not commit many mistakes. This is Li Shifeng's first win against Prannoy in four matches.
