Jun Han Ryan Lo:  The announcement that the 12th and final race in the Men's Dinghy--ILCA7 class was abandoned spread disappointment to the Indian sailing camp as it prevented Olympian Vishnu Saravanan from going for the gold medal in the 19th Asian Games, here on Wednesday.

Instead, Vishnu had to be satisfied with the bronze medal as he could not get the chance to overtake opponents from Singapore and the Republic of Korea. Saravanan finished third behind gold medallist Jun Han Ryan Lo of Singapore and silver medallist Jeemin Ha of the Republic of Korea.

"Vishnu was to fight for gold. But unfortunately, there was no wind today and the race has to be abandoned," said a senior Yachting Association of India (YAI) official from Ningbo, where the Asian Games sailing competitions are being held.
