India had a terrific day 7 at the Asian Games in Hangzhou, where they added 2 gold medals - one in the mixed doubles event in Tennis and one in the men's squash team event where they beat Pakistan in a thriller. Their medal tally could rise exponentially on day 8, with a number of medal events set to take place on October 1 where India will be in action, including Golf, Athletics, Shooting, and boxing among others.
All eyes early on will be on India's Aditi Ashok, who had a phenomenal outing in Round 3 of Women's Golf. Aditi, with a 7-shot lead, is currently the favourite to win the Gold in the women's individual event on Sunday. Her performance has also propelled India to the top of the team standings even as her compatriots are way behind on the leaderboard. If Aditi repeats her performance from September 30, India could add 2 Gold medals to their tally in Golf.
It will be an action-packed day in Athletics for India, with a number of finals lined up. From Jyothi Yarraji in Women's 100m hurdles to Tajinderpal Singh Toor in Shot Put, from Murali Sreeshankar in Men's Long Jump to Avinash Sable in Men’s 3000m Steeplechase, India will be vying for Gold in a number of events.
Shooting events will also come to an end on Sunday, with the final day all about the Trap events. India could add more medals to the 19 they have already won in Shooting at Hangzhou 2022, their best-ever medal haul in the discipline in Asian Games history.
Archery events will also begin on Sunday, with the individual qualification rounds in both the recurve and compound categories. India have a few world champions in their squad and will be hoping for a good beginning to their campaign in Hangzhou.
