Missing oars dent India's chances in Olympic Qualifiers

Shanghai, Apr 19 (UNI) The Indian rowing team's chances in the Olympic qualifiers have been seriously dented after their preparations were hampered because of an unusual reason - their oars have gone missing.

The eight-member squad has not been able to practice at all for the last three days since Thai Airlines, in which they travelled has misplaced the oars.

The team, comprising four men and four women rowers, have just three more days to prepare with the qualifiers scheduled to begin from April 23.
