FUYANG (Hangzhou): Notorious for being historically late starters at multi-event Games, India found itself a deserving claimant for an early-bird prize as they landed three silver and two bronze on the opening day here.
Rowers Arjun Lal Jat and Arvind Singh were among the first to get off the blocks among the 655-strong Indian contingent, its largest-ever at any Games, to get written onto the medallists’ list when they caused minor eddies in the placid waters of the Fuyang Water Sports Centre which other Indians then rode upon.
