Narender Grewal (65kg) had to be content with a bronze medal yet again in the Asian Games after losing the men's Sanda semi-finals even as the Indian Wushu team savoured their best-ever
show at the continental showpiece with four medals in Jakarta on Wednesday. All the four Indians in action were assured of at least a bronze after reaching the semi-finals but all of them
lost their last four bouts. Wushu, a Chinese Kung-fu, is different from other combat sports as it is a mix of kick-boxing and wrestling. _FOR MORE NEWS AND UPDATES FROM THE ASIAN GAMES,_
