Dutta has it easy again as she defeats the Chinese in the first match! The first match is between 21 y/o Jyotika Dutta versus Zho M of China! We are about to start with the Quarter final class between India and China! Good morning and welcome to the Fencing action taking place at JCC - Cendrawasih! Action continues on Day 6 of the multi-sporting extravaganza -- The Asian Games Day five ended more with a whimper, rather than a bang. On what was a disappointing day for India, several participants lost their matches in the final stages. Ankita Raina (WR 189) bagged a Bronze medal as she went down against Zhang Shuai (WR 34). She fought valiantly against the Chinese Number eventually lost 6-4, 7-6(6). Meanwhile, the Men's doubles pair of Rohan Bopanna and Divij Sharan made it to the Final of the event and are have ensured at least a Silver medal for India. India's 15-year-old shooter Shardul Vihan also bagged a Silver in the  Men's Double Trap Final and took the total tally to 17. However, India's loss to Iran in the Men's Kabaddi Semifinal was completely unprecedented and historic in a wrong sense for India! Fencing action is set to start on Day 6. Épée -- a heavier thrusting weapon -- is used  that targets the entire body. All hits must be with the tip and not the sides of the blade. Touches hit by the side of the blade do not halt the action. Unlike foil and sabre, Épée does not use right of way, and allows simultaneous hits by both fencers. However, if the score is tied at the last point and a double touch is scored, nobody is awarded the point. Playing in the Indian team is Devi Thoudam Kabita, Arora Ena, Jas Seerat Singh, Dutta Jyotika and they will try their best to win a medal as they go up against Indonesia.
