<p>Sonia Devi qualified for the semifinals, which were held later in the day, by placing fourth in women’s kayak single 500m (sprint) heat 2 with a time of 2:17.351 in the morning session.</p>
<p>With a time of 2:16.435, the Indian produced a far better performance in the semifinal round to place second and go to the final, behind Madinakhon Ashrafxonova of Uzbekistan (2.11:352) in first place and Thailand’s Khanyakron Suphawatthanakon (2.18:260) in second.</p>
<p>On Tuesday, the medal competition will take place.</p>
<p>But Megha’s failure to qualify for the final of the women’s 200-meter canoe sprint left India feeling disappointed.</p>
<p>Megha was able to make it into the semifinals despite completing her heat 1 event in last place in a five-person field with a time of 56.705 and 4.175 seconds behind the winner.</p>
<p>Megha placed fourth in the semifinal, last overall, with the top three moving on to the final. Her time was 55.406, 3.523 off.</p>
