Asian Games: No bronze for S'pore shooters after China wins appeal
Sep 22, 2014 01:11 pm
The jury at the Ongnyeon International Shooting Range have reversed their decision following an appeal from China.
Their gold medal win in the women's 10m air rifle team event has been ratified and Zhang Binbin has been reinstated to the final of the individual event.
The Singapore team originally came in fourth behind China, Iran and South Korea but were set to advance to the third position after Zhang was disqualified for using "unauthorised equipment".
Following China's successful appeal, Singapore dropped back to fourth spot, and are not bronze medal winners of the event.
