HANGZHOU, China: India's men's teams won chaotic kabaddi and washed-out cricket finals, the South Korean men's football team earned exemptions from military service, and China achieved a record gold haul at the Hangzhou Asian Games on Saturday.

The men's kabaddi final between India and defending champions Iran descended into chaos and was delayed for over an hour as players and coaches protested over a referee decision with the game level on points and with just over a minute to play.
