India Wins 85 Medals at Asian Games Amid Challenges; Table Tennis Secures BronzePreviousNext

India secured 85 medals at the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, placing fourth in Asia, a decline from the 107 medals won in Hangzhou three years earlier. The drop reflects challenges such as injuries to key athletes like Neeraj Chopra and limited depth beyond established champions. Meanwhile, Indian table tennis continued its strong performance with a bronze medal in mixed doubles by Manush Shah and Diya Chitale, marking the sport's third consecutive Asian Games podium finish and highlighting the success of their partnership.
