Khushbir Gets Silver in 20km Race Walk with New National Record

INCHEON: Khushbir Kaur today became the first Indian woman to clinch a 20km Race Walk silver medal in the Asian Games by bettering her personal best and setting a new national record in the process. The 21-year-old from Amritsar clocked 1:33:07 to improve on her previous personal best of 1:33:37, which was also the national record, to finish second at the Marathon Course here. Khushbir was a little over two minutes behind behind gold- medallist Lu Xiuzhi of China, who clocked 1:31:06. The Indian was consistently third till the 18km mark before going up a position in the final two kilometres, thanks largely to the slowing down of second-placed Chinese Nie Jingjing, who eventually finished fourth. The bronze medal went to local favourite Jeon Yeongeun, who also clocked a personal best of 1:33:18. This is the biggest triumph of Khushbir's nascent career after the bronze medal she won at this year's Asian Walking Championships bronze in Japan. She was the first Indian woman to achieve such a feat. Khushbir burst into the scene after winning a bronze medal in the 10,000-metre walk race at the 2012 Asian Junior Athletics Championships in Colombo.

worst ever performance of indian team at asian games, only 1 gold so far and we are at 16th position even pakistan is just 2 rank below than us... our medal winning capacity is again declining in 2-3 recent years.... is it a congress effect ?

If you invest in sports today, you will see the benefits only after 10-15 yrs. So if you want India to be good in sports, we need a good economy and investment from now on to see it do moderately good in the 2025-30. But when indian becomes developed in 2025-30 and starts investing more, every sports competition from 2050s on will be dominated solely by Indians

There's one that i've noticed during these games is that, whenever India is playing against anyone other than the host Korea. Most of the local crowd always supports/cheer for the Indians.

What exactly happened? How Sarita Devi refused her bronze medal

The Asian Games have taken a controversial turn after India's boxer Sarita Devi refused to accept her bronze medal at the prize giving ceremony of the 57-60 kg (Lightweight) category.

Sarita came into the auditorium after the gold medal bout between Park Jina (KOR) and Junhua Yin (CHN) came to an end. The Chinese was a deserving winner.

The four boxers gathered around the podium -- waiting patiently. At this point, Sarita seemed composed. She looked like she had been crying all night but she wasn't crying at that point.

However, she couldn't hold back when she climbed on the podium and burst out crying. She waved at her fans -- who were all chanting her name. Then as the official approached her with the bronze medal, she refused to allow him to put the medal around her neck.

Instead, after some pleading from the official -- she simply held the medal in her hand. Her tears were flowing profusely by this point. The crowd egging her on all this while -- some cheers, some slogans.

Then, as the Chinese national anthem started to play... Sarita got off the podium and walked over to Park Jina -- the Korean who emerged victorious in their semi-final bout -- and put the bronze medal around Jina's neck.

The Korean was initially too shocked to react. As were the rest of the people in the ring. The Chinese athlete was just trying to keep a straight face as chaos broke around her.

After putting the medal around the Korean's neck, Sarita went and stood back on the podium. This time, the Korean followed her and pleaded with her to take her medal back. Sarita -- held Park Jina's face in her hands and tenderly refused. She eventually relented and kept the medal in her hands.

Then, as she was leaving the ring -- she left her medal on the podium. She wanted none of this.

An official later picked up the medal for safe keeping.

After the controversy, Sarita said: "I felt that I should not accept the medal because I deserved to be in the final. I don't mind if they take any action against me. But I did not feel like accepting the medal and so I did that."

The AIBA, at present, has no provision in their rules as to what action can be initiated for such an incident.

There are some who might want to go into the rights and wrongs of Sarita's actions but this wasn't a rational decision. This was an emotional decision made by someone who felt wronged; who felt robbed and who at 32 may never fight at the highest level again.

And the hurt will not go away easily. But if words could help -- then in our eyes, Sarita doesn't need a medal. She is a winner all the way.

Shameful: Sarita borrows appeal money from journalist as IOA officials sneak out

While officials from other countries were busy protesting unfair decisions against their athletes, India's boxer Sarita Devi was left to fend for herself — with Indian Olympic Association representatives quietly ignoring the ignominy of the clear bias towards South Korean athletes.

In fact, according to an Indian Express report, such was the situation that Sarita Devi had to borrow the appeal deposit of $500 from coach Lenin Meitei and an Indian journalist.

Which brings us to this: if the Indian officials already knew that there was no point in appealing, why did they make Sarita (who, by virtue of being an athlete can be forgiven for not knowing administrative rules) wait for a couple of hours before stepping in? In comparison and according to the same report, Mongolian officials who also thought their boxer Tugstsogt Nyambayar was given a similarly unfair decision, quickly made their protest felt without wasting any time.

To make matters worse, a Mumbai Mirror report says that India's deputy chef-de-mission Kuldip Vats was present at the venue when the whole fracas went down — but sneaked away without offering any assistance. As if that was not enough, IOA general secretary Rajiv Mehta stayed put on his VIP seat as Sarita Devi and her husband struggled to lodge an appeal outside.

All he told the two-time boxing world champion while leaving the venue was 'why was the appeal not filed earlier?'

It would be apt to ask him back — where were you when you were needed by your country?

We all know the answer.

I watched the fight, Sarita Devi literally clobbered the Korean. The result was a total shocker
This is not the first time this has happened in Korea, there are plenty of incidents during the Korean olympics, I'm used to seeing this stuff in boxing

Anyway, according to the new rules you cannot appeal against the judges decision, they are final, only the ring referee's decisions can be protested. This sort of stuff is why olympic boxing is always seen in shady light.

to make matters worse, AIBA are an incredibly corrupt body, that will try to defend their decision to the fulles. This is what is going to happen now:
