Bin Mohammad FAthil Mohd Qabil:  Anush Agarwalla made history for India in the Asian Games equestrian championships on Thursday by winning the bronze medal in the Dressage Individual competition at the Tonglu Equestrian Centre in Hangzhou.

Agarwalla finished third atop his horse Etro as he finished with a 73.030 percentage score as he took the bronze medal behind Malaysia's Bin Mohammad FAthil Mohd Qabil Ambak who topped the standings with a 75.780 percentage score while Hong Kong China's Jacqueline Wing Ying Siu claimed the silver medal with 73.450 percentage score in Intermediate I Freestyle competition.

Anush Agarwalla thus became the first Indian to win an Individual medal in dressage in Asian Games. All of India's medals before Hangzhou came in Eventing, show jumping and tent pegging. But on Thursday, Anush Agarwalla added the Dressage Individual bronze to the gold medal that he along with Hriday Chheta, Sudipti Hajela and Divyakriti Singh bagged in the Dressage Team competition a couple of days ago.
