Artistic Gymnastics 

Dipa Karmakar (13.225) had to endure being beaten to the vault final in the Asian Games by two of her team-mates, Pranati Nayak (13.500) and Aruna Budda Reddy (13.425). With the rules providing for only two competitors per nation making it to the final from the qualification, the eighth-placed Indian star had to concede a place to Chinese Taipei’s Fang Ko Chin (13.050).
 
Dipa, returning to major competition after a knee injury and rehab post the Olympic Games in Rio in 2016, may have edged out Aruna Budda Reddy had she not conceded penalties – 0.300 on the first attempt and 0.100 on the second. She would have finished marginally ahead but for those penalties.
