Trap individual

Zoravar Singh Sandhu:  Having topped the standings in the qualifying stage, India's Kynan Chenai could not ride the momentum and could manage only a bronze medal in the Men's Trap Individual competition at the Asian Games here on Sunday.

Kynan had raised hopes of winning India's first gold medal in Men's Trap Individual since 1978 when Randhir Singh had bagged the gold in Bangkok. Kynan performed superbly along with Zoravar Singh Sandhu and Prithviraj Tondaiman to win a historic gold medal in the men's Trap Team competition.

This was India's first gold medal in the Trap Team competition, having won silver in three successive Asian Games from 1998 in Bangkok, 2002 in Busan and 2006 in Doha. It also completed a full set of medals for the veteran Zoravar Singh Sandhu, who had won a silver medal with Manavjit Singh Sandhu and Mansher Singh in 1998 and a bronze medal with the same partners in the 2010 edition in Guangzhou.
