The Indian team of Anush Agarwalla, Hriday Vipul, Divyakriti and
Sudipti Hajela created history by clinching a historic gold medal after
registering a huge score of 209.205 in the Team Dressage in the ongoing 19th
Asian Games.
This is Bharat’s first-ever gold in this event at the Asian Games
and their first gold medal in Equestrian after 41 years.
After a competition that has lasted for nearly 10 hours, with a
host of athletes participating from all across Asia, it is the Indian Quartet
of Agarwalla, Chheda, Divyakriti and Hajela who deliver when it matters the
most.
Anush Agarwalla and his horse ETRO scored the maximum score at
71.088 while Hriday Chheda-Emerald scored 69.941. Divyakriti Singh-Adrenalin
Firdod scored 68.176. Sudipti Hajela-Chinski scored 66.706.
Bharat finished with a score of 209.205 which was significantly
higher than second-placed China’s 204.882.
Anush Agarwalla stole the show with a score of 71.088 while Hriday
scored 69.941 and Divyakriti scored 68.176. Together, they have ensured that no
team even comes close to their combined score.
They defeated the likes of China and Japan, who were absolute
favourites to win this.
