India had medals raining in athletics as it turned out to be a double bonanza in the men's 1500m event. While Ajay Kumar Saroj won the silver, Jinsn Johnson won bronze. It was for the first time since 1962 that India won 2 medals in the category.&nbsp;
Veteran discus thrower Seema Punia won a bronze for her third medal in as many editions of the Asian Games with a throw of 58.62m. "This is my last Asian Games and I am ending with a medal. I think I will be looking ahead to be able to qualify for the Paris Olympics maybe through ranking," she said.
The 40-year-old Punia won a gold in the 2014 Asian Games and then added a bronze in 2018. She has also won three silver and one bronze in the Commonwealth Games in her over 20-year international career.

India's second silver medal in badminton at the continental championships with two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu winning the first in women's singles in the 2018 edition.

Asian Games 2023: HS Prannoy's absence hurts as India settle for silver after losing to China in final

Injured HS Prannoy’s absence hurt India as they went down fighting 2-3 against badminton powerhouse China to sign off with their first-ever silver medal in the men's team championships at the #AsianGames

India's second silver medal in badminton at the continental championships with two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu winning the first in women's singles in the 2018 edition.

Injured HS Prannoy&rsquo;s absence hurt India as they went down fighting 2-3 against badminton powerhouse China to sign off with their first-ever silver medal in the men's team championships at the Asian Games.
After world No. 7 Prannoy was ruled out due to a back injury, Lakshya Sen produced a gutsy show in the first singles and doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty then bossed over their opponents to put India 2-0 ahead.
So, it was once again left to Srikanth to carry the team on his shoulders.
The former world No. 1, who had produced a gritty show against South Korea in the semifinals, couldn't go the distance this time despite a healthy lead and multiple game points as China fought back to make it 1-2.
The defending champions then won the remaining two matches to maintain their hegemony in the Asian Games.
With Prannoy missing the summit clash due to a back injury, Sen was handed the responsibility of leading the Indian charge.
Sen recovered from a mid-game slump to erase a five-point deficit in the decider and put India ahead with a 22-20 14-21 21-18 win over world No. 6 Shi Yuqi in an 83-minute opening slugfest.
World No. 3 men's doubles pair of Satwik and Chirag then went on a smashing spree to outclass world No 2. Liang Wei Keng and Wang Chang 21-15 21-18 in 55 minutes to extend the lead to 2-0. Srikanth, however, squandered an 18-14 lead and multiple game points in the first game to go down 22-24 9-21 against All England champion Li Shifeng in the third singles to expose India's weakest link -- the second doubles and third singles matches.
Scratch pair of Dhruv Kapila and Sai Pratheek Krishna Prasad then lost 6-21 15-21 to world No. 8 Liu Yu Chen and Ou Xuan Yi, while Prannoy's replacement Mithun Manjunath, ranked 53, went down 12-21 4-21 against world No. 20 Weng Hong Yang in the third singles as India finished second best.
Despite the loss, it is a creditable performance from the Indian team as it sealed India's second silver medal in badminton at the continental championships with two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu winning the first in women's singles in the 2018 edition.
The last time the Indian men won a badminton medal in the team championships was at the 1986 edition in Seoul where Sen's mentors Prakash Padukone and Vimal Kumar played a crucial role.
India now has 11 badminton medals in the Asian Games, including three individual singles medals, one silver and three bronze in the men's team, two women's team bronze and one medal each in men's doubles and mixed doubles

It was an absolute one-sided race, with no one even in the frame when Avinash crossed the finish line.

After the Asian Games got postponed last year due to Covid-19, the continental competition is scheduled to start on September 23 in Hangzhou

A day after receiving government assurance, the wrestlers expressed intent to take part in the Asian Games selection trials scheduled to be held later this month.
However, the wrestlers want some more time to get ready for the trials.
"We want to take part in the selection trial but to prepare for it, we need at least a month and a half of training," international wrestler Satyawart Kadian, who is also Sakshi Malik's husband, told PTI.
Getting back into competition mode will be a tough task for the wrestlers. Some haven't competed since the World Championships in September last year, while others last hit the mat even earlier, during the Commonwealth Games in August 2022.
Asian Games are set to take place in Hangzhou, China from September 23 to October 8.

Asian Games 2023: India secure bronze in men's and women's 3000m team relay events in roller skating

Having secured bronze in both men's and women's 3000m team relay events in roller skating, India matched their best-ever performance in the sport at the #AsianGames 

<h2>With the two bronze medals, India matched their best-ever performance in roller skating at the 2010 Asian Games, where they had also won two bronze.</h2>

Indian roller skaters showcased their prowess at the Asian Games 2023, securing two bronze medals in the highly competitive men's and women's 3000m team relay events in speed skating. This achievement equals India's best performance in roller skating at the prestigious event.
On the ninth day of intense competitions, the Indian women's team&mdash;comprising Sanjana Bathula, Karthika Jagadeeswaran, Heeral Sadhu, and Aarathy Kasturi Raj&mdash;made a strong start, clinching bronze with an impressive timing of 4:34.861s. They stood behind the gold medallists from Chinese Taipei (4:19.447) and South Korea (4:21.146).
In the men's team relay, Aryanpal Singh Ghuman, Anandkumar Velkumar, Siddhant Kamble, and Vikram Ingale demonstrated exceptional skill, securing a well-deserved bronze with a remarkable timing of 4:10.128. The top positions were secured by Chinese Taipei (4:05.692) and South Korea (4:05.702).
This achievement reflects the significant progress of Indian roller skaters, matching their performance at the Guangzhou 2010 Asian Games, where they secured two bronze medals in men's free skating and pairs skating events.

According to Technical Rule 16.8, any athlete responsible for a false start shall be disqualified by the starter.

Jyothi Yarraji Race: AFI president Adille Sumariwalla promises to take up matter to highest level

According to Technical Rule 16.8, any athlete responsible for a false start shall be disqualified by the starter.

Jyothi Yarraji was first disqualified, then allowed to run and eventually finished third, all these happened in a span of few minutes during a farcical women's 100m hurdles race at the Asian Games in Hangzhou on Sunday.
Drama unfolded in the last event of the day at the 'Big Lotus' stadium when the women's 100m hurdles was stopped after the gun was fired. Replays clearly showed that Chinese runner Wu Yanni was responsible for the false start as she got off the blocks even before the gunshot was taken.
The judges reviewed the start of the race at the on-field screen and then disqualified Yanni. But to the surprise of the Indian camp, Yarraji was also told that she would be out due to false start.
Yarraji stood her ground for a while and protested and the race was held up for a few minutes.
In sprint races, under 100 millisecond rule, any athlete who reacts within 100 milliseconds (0.100 second) of the gun going off is considered to have false started. Later, the judges allowed both of them to compete and Yanni finished second behind her Chinese compatriot Lin Yuwei (12.74) while Yarraji (13.04) was third.
The Athletics Federation of India (AFI) immediately filed a protest and within minutes, Yanni was disqualified under Technical Rule 16.8 and Yarraji's bronze was upgraded to silver.
According to Technical Rule 16.8, any athlete responsible for a false start shall be disqualified by the starter.
But, a note to the rule says "when one or more athletes make a false start, others are inclined to follow and ... any athlete who does so has also made a false start. The starter should warn or disqualify only such athletes or athletes who, in their opinion, were responsible for the false start." AFI president and World Athletics Vice President and Executive Board member Adille Sumariwalla made it clear that allowing Wu Yanni to run under protest was a wrong decision as "it was she who broke the gun".
He also said that the matter would be taken up at the highest level to ensure that this kind of thing does not happen again. "They (judges) committed a mistake, they have accepted it and medal (silver) has been given (Yarraji)," he said.
"Breaking the Gun" in athletics terminology means getting off the blocks before the shot is fired.
"Rule says you cannot break the gun, it comes on the screen (if false started). What they did not realise was, the Chinese runner (Wu Yanni) has clearly done it (false started), naturally when the first girl goes out before the gun, others will also get out.
"Yarraji went second, and they were after her (Yarraji) to try and get her out. I said from above (the stands) that let her (Yarraji) run under protest. But to make the Chinese woman (Wu Yanni) run under protest is wrong. You can't do that because she has broken the gun." Asked about the quick decision, Sumariwalla said, "We lodged a protest. It was black and white and the decision (to upgrade Yarraji's bronze to silver) was to be there.
"But rest assured that this will be taken up at the highest level to ensure that this does not happen again." AFI senior vice president and legendary long jumper Anju Bobby George termed it as an "unusual drama" rarely seen in a major competition.
"The runner who leaves the ground first is disqualified. The Chinese girl was one and a half steps ahead and Jyothi was still on the ground, she did not leave the ground. But they (judges) came to Jyothi and said you are out. Jyothi was on her block. It was a surprise to everybody, what a drama they did. It was very unusual.
"This is the first time I am seeing in such a competition that somebody is out and then in. We protested by submitting USD 100. It was to be done within 30 minutes and we did that immediately."

All eyes early on will be on athletics where India has already begun their exploit. For India Shankar Tejaswin, Sandesh Jesse, Ravi Sinchal, and Shaili Singh will be vying for a medal finish in different categories.
