India Prepares for 2026 Asian Games with Focus on Shooting and Boxing
India is preparing for the 2026 Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, starting September 19, with strong prospects in shooting and boxing. Kamaljeet, a 23-year-old shooter from Haryana, will compete in the men's 50m pistol event after transitioning from athletics due to injury. Indian boxing, buoyed by a record Commonwealth Games performance, aims to build on recent progress despite facing tough competition from top Asian nations. Both sports represent key medal opportunities for India at the Games.
