Asian Games: Malaysia's David claims squash gold, Yang fires to glory
Malaysia's world number one Nicol David fought back from a game down to overcome compatriot Low Wee Wern and take the Asian Games women's squash gold on Tuesday.
David eventually outclassed her young opponent 9-11, 11-6, 11-5, 12-10, but had to work to defend her Asian Games title after losing the first game.
David, 31, now has three Asian Games singles golds to add to her seven World Open titles.
Low, facing her idol in a major final for the first time, was far from overawed and put in a spirited performance with some flashes of brilliance.
David's experience shone through as she fought back from game ball down in the fourth set to claim the gold.
SENSATIONAL
Teenager Yang Haoran led China's sweep of the men's 10m air rifle event at the Asian Games on Tuesday as India's Abhinav Bindra ended his full-time shooting career with two bronze medals.
Yang, the 18-year-old world champion, confirmed his status as a shooting sensation by winning the showpiece event with 209.6 points after leading China to the team gold.
Team-mate Cao Yifei picked up the silver with 208.9, conceding the lead to Yang in the last two shots of a well-contested eight-man final.
Bindra, India's only individual Olympic gold medallist in any sport, finished with 187.1 points in his final competition as a professional shooter.
Yang, Cao and Liu Tianyou narrowly missed creating a new world record in the team event by 0.1 points as they left the rest of the field behind with a dominant show.
The Chinese trio, who hold the record of 1886.5 points set at the world championships in Spain this month where Yang was individual champion, finished with a combined tally of 1886.4.
South Korea finished second with 1867.6 points through Kim Sang-do, Kim Hyeonjun and Han Jin-Seop.
Bindra led team-mates Ravi Kumar and Sanjeev Rajput to a bronze medal for India with 1863.0 points.
The 31-year-old won the event at the 2008 Beijing Games to give India its first -- and so far only - individual gold medal following eight field hockey titles.
