Indian rowers have made it to nine finals in Hangzhou and the Olympian rowers duo of Arjun and Arvind came up with a fine performance to bag India's first medal in the 19th Asian Games.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Arvind and Arjun completed the course in a timing of 6 minutes 28.18 seconds as they finished behind the Chinese duo -- Junje Fan and Man Sun, who completed the course in 6:23.16. Uzbekistan's Shakhzod Nurmatov and Sobirjon Safaroumov won the bronze medal in 6:32.47.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With Arjun Lal Jat at the bow and Arvind Singh at the stroke, the Indian pair was placed second at the 500m mark, completing it in 1:33.80 and maintaining themselves just 0.70 seconds behind the Chinese pair in the lead.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
By the 1000m mark, the Chinese pair had extended the lead but the Indians maintained their gap with the Uzbekistan pair.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
By the 1500 marker, the writing was on the wall as the Chinese continued to extend their lead while the Indians maintained their second position, keeping the Uzbekistan rowers at bay.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
That's how they crossed the finish line as India started their campaign with a silver medal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Both Arjun and Arvind are very experienced rowers having represented the country in the Tokyo Olympic Games.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Both the rowers are TOPS scheme beneficiaries with Arjun being a core group member.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2023\/09\/asian-games-rowers-arjun-lal-arvind-singh-claim-silver-medal-in-mens-double-sculls.jpg", "alt_img": "Asian Games: Rowers Arjun Lal, Arvind Singh claim silver medal in men's double sculls", "alt_title": "Asian Games: Rowers Arjun Lal, Arvind Singh claim silver medal in men's double sculls", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Asian Games: Rowers Arjun Lal, Arvind Singh Claim Silver Medal In Men's Double Sculls On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Asian Games: Rowers Arjun Lal, Arvind Singh Claim Silver Medal In Men's Double Sculls, With Arjun Lal Jat: India's Arjun Lal Jat and Arvind Singh bagged a silver medal in the Lightweight Men's Double.", "seo_keywords": "Arjun Lal Jat, Arvind Singh, Lightweight Men, Double Sculls, Asian Games, Junje Fan, Man Sun, Shakhzod Nurmatov, Sobirjon Safaroumov, With Arjun Lal Jat, Both Arjun, Tokyo Olympic Games", "tag": "", "tagging": "Arjun Lal Jat, Arvind Singh, Lightweight Men, Double Sculls, Asian Games, Junje Fan, Man Sun, Shakhzod Nurmatov, Sobirjon Safaroumov, With Arjun Lal Jat, Both Arjun, Tokyo Olympic Games", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "asian-games-rowers-arjun-lal-arvind-singh-claim-silver-medal-in-mens-double-sculls", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "965", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2023-09-24 09:30:04", "updated": "2023-09-24 09:30:04", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Arjun Lal Jat, Arvind Singh, Lightweight Men, Double Sculls, Asian Games, Junje Fan, Man Sun, Shakhzod Nurmatov, Sobirjon Safaroumov, With Arjun Lal Jat, Both Arjun, Tokyo Olympic Games", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2023-09-24 09:30:04", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "0", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "sports_name": "others", "cnmid": "797587", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/sports-news\/asian-games-rowers-arjun-lal-arvind-singh-claim-silver-medal-in-mens-double-sculls-8802" }
