India’s Canoe Slalom campaign came to an end at the ongoing Asian Games in Japan on Friday, with all three Indian paddlers falling short of the semi-finals.

Pradhyumna produced a decent effort, clocking 79.85 seconds to finish ninth, while Hitesh had a difficult outing, finishing 18th. Pradhyumna’s performance, however, was enough to take him through to the quarter-finals.

His campaign came to an end in the quarter-finals, where he finished fourth in Quarter-final 2. With only the top two paddlers advancing, Pradhyumna narrowly missed out on a place in the semi-finals.
