From ZeeNews (Link here) :
India's Sandhyarani Devi had to be content with a silver medal in the Asian Games wushu competition after losing to defending champion Khadijeh Azadpour of Iran in the final of the women`s 60 kg class at the Nansha Gymnasium here on wednesday.
Sandhyarani, who was handicapped by a leg injury which she picked up in her semi-final win against Paloy Barckkham of Laos, lost 0-2 to the Iranian to fetch India`s second medal in the sport after Bimoljit Singh`s bronze yesterday.
"I could not raise my leg which was stiff following the injury sustained in the semi-finals. I was trying to throw her down with my arms but could not accomplish that too. I was targeting the gold but could not perform to potential because of the injury," said the 27-year-old Manipur, who won a bronze in the 2008 Asian Championship in Macau.
The 27-year-old Indian had knocked out Valasith Bouapha of Laos in the quarterfinals to reach the semifinal.
