India’s Major Records and Historic Performances
Neeru Dhanda became the first Indian woman to win an individual Asian Games trap-shooting gold. Her final score of 28 surpassed the previous Asian record of 24.
Dhanda then partnered Kynan Chenai to win India’s first Asian Games gold in the mixed trap team competition. Their winning score of 34 established a new Games record, improving on the previous mark of 30.
India’s women’s compound archery team of Jyothi Surekha Vennam, Prithika Pradeep and Chikitha Taniparthi matched a world record during its 238-234 victory over China.
India completed a clean sweep of the three compound team events—men’s, women’s and mixed. Chikitha and Sahil Jadhav won the mixed final against South Korea in a shoot-off and also secured a quota place for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
Gulveer Singh has emerged as India’s most prolific individual athletics medallist, earning silver in the 10,000m and 1,500m and bronze in the 5,000m. He was also part of the bronze-winning mixed 4x100m relay combination.
Neeru Dhanda has won three shooting medals—two gold and one silver—while Vithya Ramraj has collected gold, silver and bronze across the women’s relay, mixed relay and 400m hurdles.
Major International Highlights
China’s Lian Junjie won the men’s 10m platform title, delivering China’s 100th consecutive Asian Games diving gold. China has won every Asian Games diving event it has contested since joining the competition in 1974.
South Korea advanced to a record fourth consecutive men’s football final after beating China 2-1. Japan reached the final by defeating Uzbekistan on penalties.
South Korean badminton star An Se-young successfully defended her women’s singles gold medal. China’s Li Wenwen earned her first Asian Games weightlifting gold, while Uzbekistan’s Akbar Djuraev won the men’s 110kg title.
Surfing made its Asian Games debut, with Japan’s Kanoa Igarashi and Mirai Ikeda claiming the men’s and women’s titles and securing qualification places for the Los Angeles Olympics.
Filipino tennis player Alex Eala also guaranteed herself a medal by reaching the women’s singles semifinals.
Can India Improve Its Ranking?
India is only one gold medal behind Bahrain and Iran, although Iran has a significantly higher silver-medal total. Kazakhstan is immediately behind India with nine gold medals and could overtake it if its athletes win additional titles.
India still has medal opportunities across cricket, hockey, archery, shooting, squash, boxing, wrestling and other events. The Games continue until October 4, so the present ranking and tally are provisional.
