Deepak Bista bagged the second bronze medal for Nepal at the ongoing 15th Asian Games in Doha, Qatar. Bista bagged the bronze medal in 75-kg category by defeating a Kuwaiti player in the quarter final on Friday. He, however, lost to a Qatari player in semi final, in what the Korean coach Kwon Hyouk claimed as biased refereeing.
After Manita Shahi won the first bronze medal on Thursday, this was the second medal for Nepal.
Bista is one of the most successful taekwondo players of Nepal. He has already won gold medal thrice in the South Asian games. He had also won a bronze medal in the previous Busan Asian games held four years ago.
Meanwhile, on Friday, Kanchhi Maya Koju completed her 10,000 meter running in 37 minutes 59.76 seconds. A silver medalist at Tenth South Asian Games, Koju came last in the race in Doha, which was won by a Japanese runner.
