Mamallapuram: Eight years after they won their maiden Olympiad medal, a group of talented teenagers have ensured that the rising superpower of the sport has a team on the podium in their own backyard.
The India 2 open team, comprising of the young guns like D Gukesh and R Praggnanandhaa, won the bronze medal in the open category beating Germany here on Tuesday. They finished with 18 points after 11 rounds of action, one adrift Uzbekistan (19), who won gold. Armenia too finished on 19, but the mathematical formula devised by FIDE to choose the winner for teams finishing on same points allowed the Uzbeks to take the cake. India 1 missed out on a medal as they drew with USA 2-2 in the final round and finished fourth. The third team from India ended on the 36th spot following their 2-2 result against Kazakhstan.
