Rio de Janeiro: The Indian pair of Jwala Gutta and Ashwini Ponnappa were yesterday eliminated from the Olympics women’s doubles event after losing their second successive group A clash here. In a rollercoaster game against the Dutch team of Eefje Muskens and Selena Piek, Indians went down 16-21 21-16 17-21 in 48 minutes.
Lying second from bottom in the group standings, Jwala and Ashwini will have just pride to play for when they take on Puttita Supajirakul and Sapsiree Taerattanachai of Indonesia in their final group clash. The Indonesians are also winless so far and are lying bottom of the heap.
