The Indian contingent at the Asian Games 2023 is looking to add more medals to their tally as they compete in tennis, squash, and shooting events. The men’s doubles final in tennis will feature Ramkumar Ramanathan and Saketh Myneni, while the men’s and women’s squash teams will be in action in the semi-final matches. Additionally, the athletics contingent will begin their campaign in the competition.
On Thursday, Sarabjot Singh, Arjun Singh Cheema, and Shiva Narwal won the gold medal in the Men’s 10m Air Pistol Team event. Roshibina Devi also secured a silver medal in the Women’s 60kg Wushu final, and Anush Agarwalla made history by winning India’s first medal in the individual dressage equestrian event at the Asian Games.
In the Women’s 20km Race Walk event, Priyanka Goswami finished fifth with a timing of one hour, 43 minutes, and seven seconds, while Vikash Singh missed out on a bronze medal in the Men’s 20km Race Walk event, finishing in fifth place with a time of 1:27.33.
