CWG Gymnastics: Ashish Wins Silver


New Delhi, Oct 9 (IANS) Ashish Kumar followed up his historic first-ever medal in gymnastics with a silver in the men's vault at the Commonwealth Games here Friday.

Ashish, who won a bronze in floor exercises Thursday, was among the favourites to win gold but he had a faulty landing, going for a two and half forward somersault on the second attempt that cost him 0.3 penalty points as also the gold.

Coach Vladimir Chertkhov was delighted by India's progress.

"I am passionate about the game and want to show the Indian government that gymnastics is the most watched event after athletics and aquatics in the Olympics. We now have a strong foundation but need to keep up the good work," he said.
