Guang Zhou (China): Saina Nehwal lost her shuttle badminton match in quarter-finals, but in Rowing contests, India won a gold medal through Bajranglal Thakur who made history, like Vir Dhawal Khade (on Nov.18) with his bronze in swimming races. India won a silver (men) and a bronze (women) through Rowing races, already.

Bajrang Lal, the winner, is from Rajasthan and had won a silver 4 years ago in the Asian Games in the same sports. India had slid down in ranks this year from 5 to 11, now with 2 golds it will move up again.
