Indian athletes performed miserably while winning a silver and a bronze medal in the first leg of the Asian Grand Prix series at Jiaxing, China, on Sunday.
Ghamanda Ram (men's 800m silver, 1:50.69) and Seema Antil (women's discus bronze, 49.77m) won the medals for India.
Ghamanda came behind Asian Games champion Sajad Moradi of Iran in a slow race.
Antil's bronze in discus (49.77m) was her worst medal-winning effort in any National or international meet.
The best performance by an Indian athlete was that by woman triple jumper Mayookha Johny. She had a personal best 13.71m, but that was not good enough for a medal.
