India’s Arjun Lal Jat and Arvind Singh on Sunday qualified for the men’s lightweight double sculls semi-finals after finishing third in the repechage round here. The Indian duo clocked 6:51.36 to finish third at the Sea Forest Waterway.

Poland’s Jerzy Kowalski and Artur Mikolajczewski finished at the top with a timing of 6:43.44 followed by Spain’s Caetano Horta Pombo and Manel Balastegui.

While Arjun assumes the role of the bower, Arvind is the team’s stroker. The two had finished fifth in their heats on Saturday.

In sailing, Nethra Kumanan was placed 27th after two races while Vishnu Saravanan was at 14th after his first race as the Indian sailors opened their campaign.

Kumanan finished 33rd in the first race of the women’s laser radial before recovering a bit by taking the 16th spot in the second for an overall 27th place with 49 net points.

Saravanan then finished 14th in the men’s laser event before the second race was postponed due to bad weather conditions at the Enoshima Yacht Harbour.
