The rowers struggled in the tough conditions but returned with 3 medals

The rowers impressed with their never-say-die attitude in the Games, returning with one gold and two bronze medals.

After being in contention for four medals only to win none, the Army men turned the tide with a spirited showing on the final day of the competition to win gold in the quadruple sculls before Dushyant Chauhan in the lightweight sculls and the pair of Bhagwan Singh and Rohit Kumar in lightweight doubles sculls returned with bronze.

Such was the energy exhibited that Dushyant who gave it his all in the last 500m of the race had to be carried away on a stretcher before the medal ceremony. He collapsed midway during the ceremony, which only showed the dedication that he had towards winning a medal.

By starting off steadily and then pushing the pedals in the last 500m, the Indians out-rowed their rivals and made it an event to remember.
