India on Day 10 at Aichi Nagoya 2026
After a medal-heavy but gold-light Day 9, India produced a decisive response on Day 10 at Aichi Nagoya 2026. The country won 2 gold, 1 silver and 4 bronze.
Neeru Dhanda Ends India’s Individual Gold Wait

Dhanda dominated the final with 28 hits out of 30, setting a new Asian Games record. China’s Sun Yunong took silver with 26, while Kuwait’s Hajar Abdulmalik won bronze with 21.

Athletics Finally Gets Its Gold

It was India’s first Athletics gold of the 2026 Asian Games, ending the discipline’s gold-medal drought at these Games. For Vithya Ramraj, it was another medal in an extraordinary Games. She had already won bronze in the 400m Hurdles and broken a long-standing Indian national record in that event.
Gulveer Singh Completes a Three-Medal Games
