Fuyang Water Sports Centre:  A few months back Indian rower Arvind Singh was not sure whether he would be able to participate in the Asian Games in Hangzhou because of a serious lower-back injury that threatened to hamper his progress following he and his partner Arjun Lal Jat had made the world take note of their talent by reaching the semifinals at the Tokyo Olympics.

But a month-long session with a physio associated with the Indian Army helped him recover and on Sunday he and Arjun Lal Jat bagged silver in the Lightweight Men's Double Sculls, India's first medal in rowing at the Hangzhou Asian Games.

What made it a memorable day for Indian rowing was that the Men's Coxed Eight also won silver while Babu Lal Yadav and Lekh Ram claimed a bronze medal as the rowers made a big splash at the 19th Asian Games by bagging three medals on the penultimate day of rowing competitions at the Fuyang Water Sports Centre.
