Shillong Times 11 hrs ago

Glasgow, Aug 2: Judoka Ishroop Narang gave her all in the bronze medal play-off but lost to Canadian Coralie Godbout by yuko as India's judo campaign ended at the Commonwealth Games without any medal on the concluding day of the quadrennial event here Sunday.

The hopes to add one more medal in the Indian tally were riding on Ishroop after she jumped into medal contention following her tremendous win over Cameroon's stronger and taller Georgika Wesly Djengue Moune in the repechage round of women's -78 kg.
The 19-year-old won by waza-ari after her opponent scored two yukos.
However, an aggressive Godbout proved a tough nut to crack for Ishroop, who received two shidos in the regulation time and eventually lost in the golden score time.Yash Ghangas and Avtar Singh, the other Indian judokas in the fray on the final day, faded in the round of 16.India have so far won 39 medals, including 13 gold and 17 silver, with just one contender left in the Games in Lisha Das who will compete in women's C4-C5 1000m Time Trial Final.
Judo contributed four medals, including two historic gold, one silver and a bronze.Earlier in the day, Ishroop lost by Ippon to England's Emma Reid in the quarterfinal. She received two shido penalties while Emma secured two waza-ari scores during the four-minute contest to complete the victory. (PTI)
