Gulveer Improves on Asian Games Bronze
The medal marks an improvement for Gulveer from the previous edition, where he won bronze in the men's 10,000m at the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou.
The Indian runner has enjoyed a strong run of form in recent years. He won gold medals in both the 5,000m and 10,000m at the 2025 Asian Athletics Championships in Gumi, South Korea.
At the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Gulveer became the first Indian to win two medals in track events at a single edition of the Games, taking silver in the 10,000m and bronze in the 5,000m.

India thrash South Korea 8-2, Dilpreet Singh scores hat-trick at Asian Games

The Indian men's hockey team defeated South Korea 8-2 at the Asian Games, with Dilpreet Singh scoring a hat-trick. Harmanpreet Singh, Abhishek and Rajinder also found the net as defending champions India continued their winning run.

The Indian men's hockey team continued its dominant run at the ongoing Asian Games, registering an emphatic 8-2 victory over South Korea on Thursday.
Dilpreet Singh starred for India, scoring a hat-trick to continue his impressive form in the tournament. India had earlier defeated Indonesia 13-1 and Sri Lanka 16-1.
The defending champions have matches against Japan on September 26 and Bangladesh on September 28 remaining in the group stage. India will aim to maintain its winning run, retain its Asian Games gold medal and secure a direct qualification spot for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
Shailanand Lakra opened the scoring for India in the fourth minute. Abhishek's pass was initially blocked, but the rebound fell to Lakra, who made no mistake in putting India ahead.
Dilpreet Singh doubled India's advantage in the ninth minute with a powerful hit from the centre. His effort struck the goalkeeper before finding the back of the net, as South Korea's defensive lapse allowed India to take a 2-0 lead.
Indian captain Harmanpreet Singh converted the team's first penalty corner in the 11th minute to extend the lead to 3-0.
Abhishek then scored India's fourth goal with an excellent finish, assisted by Shailanand. India ended the opening quarter with a commanding 4-0 advantage.
India continued to control proceedings in the second quarter, although neither side scored during the initial exchanges. The Indian players attempted several aerial passes before Dilpreet struck again in the 26th minute.
Collecting a pass from Manpreet Singh, Dilpreet deflected the ball past the South Korean goalkeeper to make it 5-0. India maintained its dominance as South Korea struggled to create scoring opportunities before half-time.
Dilpreet completed his hat-trick in the 32nd minute, converting a quick pass from Rajinder with a powerful tomahawk shot.
India continued to create opportunities from penalty corners but could not convert several attempts. Abhishek eventually scored India's seventh goal following an excellent team move involving multiple passes.
Sukhjeet Singh's shot was initially saved, and although South Korea attempted to clear the ball, it fell to Abhishek, who finished quickly to extend India's lead.
South Korea finally got on the scoresheet in the 42nd minute through Kim Jaeho. India ended the third quarter with a commanding 7-1 lead.
South Korea managed to add another goal in the 52nd minute, with Kim Yongbok finding the net to make it 7-2.
However, India had the final say as Rajinder scored in the last minute of the match to seal an emphatic 8-2 victory for the defending champions.
With three consecutive wins in the group stage, India will now turn its attention to the upcoming matches against Japan and Bangladesh as it continues its campaign to defend the Asian Games title and secure direct qualification for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

NSFs Urged to Finalize Asian Games Selection by Aug 29

Asian Games Selections Deadline Set for NSFs

At the Khelo Bharat Conclave, Sports Secretary Hari Ranjan Rao asked NSFs to finalise selection plans for Asian Games 2026 by August 29, emphasizing early preparation, ACTC digitisation, etc.

Sports secretary Hari Ranjan Rao on Thursday urged National Sports Federations (NSFs) to finalise their selection mechanism for next year's Asian Games by August 29 to ensure a greater focus on preparations for the showpiece in Japan.
Rao was addressing NSFs in the one-day 'Khelo Bharat Conclave' in the national capital where an action plan to take Indian sports forward is being discussed by various stakeholders, including sports minister Mansukh Mandaviya, representatives of the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) and corporate houses, and prominent former athletes.
"Let's have a selection plan for the Asian Games by August 29, which is also the National Sports Day (and the birth anniversary of hockey icon Dhyan Chand). If we do that, we will have one entire year to prepare ourselves," Rao, who is also the Director General of the Sports Authority of India (SAI), told the gathering.
The Asian Games is scheduled to be held from September 19 to October 4 next year in Aichi-Nagoya. India would be aiming to better their best performance of 106 medals, including 28 gold, that was achieved in the previous edition in Hangzhou, China.
Rao's suggestion to the NSFs comes months after the Sports Ministry laid down strict guidelines on selection processes for quadrennial showpieces and the world and continental championships.
The ministry has asked NSFs to publicise the selection criteria for showpieces such as the Olympics, Paralympics, Asian Games, Para Asian Games and Commonwealth Games at least two years in advance.
However, as is clear from Rao's statement, the plan is still a work in progress for next year's showpiece.
The directives also make it mandatory for NSFs to upload selection policies on their respective websites and amend them only if there is a three-month window before a competition. It has also been made compulsory to videograph selection trials.
Standardisation of the selection criteria has been a long-standing demand in sports like shooting where renowned pistol coach Jaspal Rana has stated that policies which are not codified in advance negatively impact athletes.

Rao, who was formerly an additional secretary to the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), also called on the NSFs to digitise their Annual Calendar of Training and Competition (ACTC) and upload them on the National Sports Repository System in the next couple of months.
"I request cooperation from everyone, let's go online by October 1. Let's get rid of this offline ACTC documentation," he said.
Rao also revealed that three task forces, as mandated by the recently-released Khelo Bharat Niti, are in the works.
"The three task forces would be entrusted with the responsibility of improving the quality of coaches, create a good pool of administrators and make India a sports manufacturing hub. These task forces would be constituted soon," he said.
Also, the two labs for at the National Forensic Sciences University in Ahmedabad are now operational and testing supplements for possible presence of banned substances to ensure that athletes are saved from ingesting anything that is prohibited.
"Our athletes, a lot of times, take supplements which are contaminated. They are not aware, and these labs will go a long way in saving them," Rao said.
Good Governance With the National Sports Governance Bill, which emphasises on accountability of administrators set to be introduced in the Parliament next week, Rao said it is the right time for the NSFs to act.
"I say on the upcoming National Sports Day, take a vow to announce three good governance measures in your NSF. It will reflect a commitment," he said.

In the Chinese city, the country saw an increase of 47 medals from the previous best achieved in the 2018 edition.

After Asian Games 2023 success IOA chief PT Usha says it's time for India to bid for Olympics

Buoyed by the record medal haul at the Hangzhou Asian Games, Indian Olympic Association (IOA) president P T Usha supported the government's plan to place a proposal to host the 2036 Olympics.

In the Chinese city, the country saw an increase of 37 medals from the previous best achieved in the 2018 edition.

Buoyed by the record medal haul at the Hangzhou Asian Games, Indian Olympic Association (IOA) president P T Usha on Sunday supported the government's plan to place a proposal to host the 2036 Olympics.
India won an unprecedented 107 medals, including 28 gold, in the games that ended on Sunday. In the Chinese city, the country saw an increase of 37 medals from the previous best achieved in the 2018 edition.
"After this record-breaking performance in the Hangzhou Asian Games, if our country's athletes, coaches and national federations work hard, I feel we can win double digit medals in the Paris Olympics," Usha told PTI here.
"The government is doing everything possible for the betterment of Indian sports and for the athletes. Our prime minister takes a lot of interest in the country's sports." She said the time has come for India to bid for the Olympics.
"We should bid for the 2036 Olympics. I am sure India will win more medals in the Paris Olympics than in Tokyo, and then, with the medals to show, we can host the Olympics," said the 59-year-old former track star fondly known as 'Payyoli Express'.
The government could formally express India's interest to host the 2036 Olympics during the International Olympic Committee (IOC) session in Mumbai from October 15 to 17.
After recent reforms, the IOC has moved away from the traditional bidding process. After the interested countries place their proposal of interest, the IOC's Future Host Commission will identify and propose its preferred candidate to the Executive Board.
The Executive Board can then enter targeted dialogue with a bid and then decide whether to recommend that a proposal be brought to a vote at an IOC Session.
Usha, who took charge as IOA chief in December last year, said she was not at all surprised at India winning more than 100 medals in Hangzhou.
"I am an athlete myself and I knew from the beginning that India will win more than 100 medals in Hangzhou. So I was not surprised when we crossed 100 medals," said Usha, who missed an Olympic 400m hurdles medal by one-hundredth of a second in the 1984 Los Angeles Games.
"When it (100 medals) happened, I told my colleagues that I knew India will win around 105 medals, and that happened.
"I am happy that India achieved a record medal haul in the Asian Games during our tenure. Everybody worked hard -- the athletes, coaches, support staff and officials. The government was ready to provide everything." She said the most encouraging aspect about the record haul was that India won medals in several sports, and just a few ones.
"As a track and field athlete myself, I am so happy that we won 29 medals from athletics though the number of gold was less than last time.
"Shooting and archery did very well. And we won medals in so many sports, that is the most encouraging thing." India won at least a medal in 22 sports. India sent 660 athletes to Hangzhou, the largest ever contingent, to compete in 39 sports.
Asked about the overall organisation of Hangzhou Games, she said, "China has the experience of hosting big events. From landing at the airport to the Athletes Village and many other things, it has been very smooth except for a few technical glitches (in athletics) which I feel happen in events of such magnitude.
"Even the technical glitches cannot be intentional. This kind of thing can happen and has happened in the past.
"In the 100m hurdles case also (involving India's Jyothi Yarraji) the correction was done and the medal was upgraded to silver."&nbsp;

Jyothi beat South Korea's So Chae-won in the final of the Women's Compound individual event.The win meant that India did a clean sweep in the Compound events, winning all 5 of their contests.

Bajrang lost his Men's freestyle 65kg bronze medal match to former World Champion (Jr.) Kaiki Yamaguchi of Japan 0-10.

Wrestling: Bajrang Punia makes medal-less exit; Aman Sehrawat, Kiran Bishnoi win bronze at Asian Games

Bajrang Punia, who entered the Asian Games after escaping the selection trials, suffered embarrassing defeats to make a medal-less exit from Hangzhou even as three other Indian wrestlers, including the talented Aman Sehrawat, won bronze medals.

Bajrang lost his Men's freestyle 65kg bronze medal match to former World Champion (Jr.) Kaiki Yamaguchi of Japan 0-10.

Bajrang Punia, who entered the Asian Games after escaping the selection trials, suffered embarrassing defeats to make a medal-less exit from Hangzhou even as three other Indian wrestlers, including the talented Aman Sehrawat, won bronze medals.
An under-prepared Bajrang, who spent a major part of this year protesting against WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, began with two easy wins but appeared clueless against the formidable Iranian Rahman Amouzadkhalili and Japan's Kaiki Yamaguchi.
Vishal Kaliraman had won the Asian Games trials but the IOA ad-hoc panel, led by Bhupender Singh Bajwa, had handed Bajrang a direct entry, a decision which invited criticism from the wrestling fraternity.
Sending defending champion Bajrang, someone who was terribly short of competition time this year, in the tough men's 65kg competition proved to be a mistake by the Bajwa-led panel.
Even Vinesh Phogat, a leading face of the wrestlers' protest, was spared from the trials but, as luck would have it, she suffered an injury and Antim Pangal got to compete and made an impression by winning a bronze medal in Hangzhou.
Bajrang was routed 1-8 by Iran's Amouzadkhalili in the semifinals after he beat weak opponents in the Philippines' Ronil Tubog (8-1) and Bahrain's Alibeg Alibegov (4-0).
Seeing an easy rival in his opening bout would have eased Bajrang's nerves and he began with a four-pointer to go on board. The Philippines wrestler looked too overwhelmed, and could not make a single move while Bajrang raced to an 8-0 lead in the first period.
It was a matter of one take-down move, and defending champion Bajrang found that soon to finish the bout by technical superiority.
Next up for him was Alibegov, who was expected to put up a good fight but Bajrang was hardly troubled by the Bahrain wrestler. The Indian showed good defence to walk out a 4-0 winner.
Taking the mat for his toughest test of the day, Bajrang was thrashed 8-1 by Amouzadkhalili, the 2022 world champion and reigning Asian champion, who stunned the Indian with a four-pointer at the start of the bout.
The Iranian lifted and almost rolled Bajrang over after getting hold of his right leg. The four-pointer rattled Bajrang, while the Iranian stayed solid to defend his lead till the end of the first period.
Amouzadkhalili effected one more four-pointer at the start of the second period to double his lead. A desperate but flummoxed Bajrang tried two leg attacks but the Iranian defended well.
Eventually, Bajrang earned one point but the Iranian just ran away with the bout.
In the bronze play-off, Bajrang could not make a single attacking move and lost his bout by technical superiority.
The Japanese was quick with his single-leg attacks that he kept converting into points. He led 4-0 at the end of the first period and continued in the same fashion in the second, controlling the bout in a splendid manner.
Sonam Malik (65kg) and Kiran (76kg) also lost their respective semifinals in the women's competition to go out of the gold medal race as four of the five Indians in action fell at the last-four stage.
In the men's 57kg competition, Aman moved into the quarterfinals with an easy 6-1 win over Korea's Kim Sunggwon.
Up against Iran's Ebrahim Mahdi Khari, who is the U20 Asian Championships silver medallist, Aman found himself trailing 1-8 in quick time but the Chhatrasal Stadium trainee turned it around in a sensational manner to win by technical superiority.
Aman reeled off 18 straight points, putting to work his immense strength and technical prowess to bamboozle the young Iranian.
Going into the second period 3-8, Aman employed a right-leg attack and tried to roll Khari, attempting a pin. The Iranian survived that move but there was no stopping Aman after that as he pulled away with one move after another.
However, he bumped into Japan's Toshihiro Hasegawa, who raced to a 6-1 lead. It looked like Aman would effect a turnaround yet again as he reduced the deficit by taking four straight points.
It turned into a high-scoring bout with the two wrestlers pulling off attacking moves, but eventually, the Japanese prevailed 12-10.
In the bronze medal bout, Aman did not give his Chinese rival Minghu Liu any chance and closed it with a dominating technical superiority victory.
In the women's competition, Sonam Malik (62kg) and Kiran Bishnoi (76kg) did not have to do much in the initial easy rounds but were exposed terribly when they faced better rivals in the semifinals.
Sonam did not have to break a sweat in her first two rounds in which she outclassed Nepal's Sushila Chand and Cambodia's Noeurn Soeurn, winning both the bouts by technical superiority in less than a minute.
Sonam was pinned by North Korea's Hyongyong Mun, and the Indian could not score a single point against her.
She prevailed 7-5 against China's Jia Long in a tight contest to take the bronze.
In the 11-wrestler women's 76kg category, Kiran got a bye in her opening round and got the better of Japan's young wrestler Nodoka Yamomoto 3-0 in the last-eight clash, to sail into the semifinals.
In the next round, she was pinned by Kazakhstan's Zhamila Bakbergenova.
However, she redeemed herself by winning the bronze play-off 6-3 against Mongolia's Ariunjargal Ganbat.
Radhika (68kg) was the only Indian wrestler in action on Friday who could not reach the medal round.
India have won five bronze medals so far in wrestling in this edition. Four more wrestlers will be in action on Saturday.&nbsp;

Harmanpreet scored a brace through penalty corners to finish the tournament as India's top scorer with 13 goals, one ahead of striker Mandeep Singh.

Asian Games 2023: India thrash defending champions Japan 5-1 to win men's hockey Gold

Skipper Harmanpreet Singh led admirably as the Indian men's hockey team mauled defending champions Japan 5-1 to reclaim the Asian Games gold, their fourth in the continental showpiece, after nine years and qualify for next year's Paris Olympics.

Harmanpreet scored a brace through penalty corners to finish the tournament as India's top scorer with 13 goals, one ahead of striker Mandeep Singh.

Skipper Harmanpreet Singh led admirably as the Indian men's hockey team mauled defending champions Japan 5-1 to reclaim the Asian Games gold, their fourth in the continental showpiece, after nine years and qualify for next year's Paris Olympics.
The Indians, who had to be content with a bronze medal in the last edition in Jakarta, thus won their fourth Asian Games gold and first since the 2014 Incheon edition.
India's other gold medals came in 1966 and 1998, both times in Bangkok.
South Korea won the bronze medal after eking out a close 2-1 win over hosts China.
Harmanpreet (32nd, 59th minutes) scored a brace through penalty corners, Amit Rohidas (36th) also sounded the board from a set-piece, while Manpreet Singh (25th) and Abhishek (48th) found the net from field efforts to register the famous victory for India.
Seren Tanaka converted a penalty corner for Japan in the 51st minutes.
Harmanpreet, thus, finished the tournament as India's top scorer with 13 goals, one ahead of striker Mandeep Singh.
The Indians, who ended the tournament unbeaten, were by far the better side against Japan, whom they had defeated 4-2 in the pool stages.
The Indians mostly used the flanks to great effect to build their attacks and also used down-the-line long balls to perfection.
The Tokyo Olympics bronze medallists were quick to get off the blocks and made quite a few circle penetrations but failed to convert them into goals in the first quarter.
India played high-press hockey and constantly put the Japanese defence under pressure.
They got their first chance in the fifth minute but Lalit Upadhyay's deflection from a pass from the left flank was saved by Japanese goalkeeper Takumi Kitagawa.
The Indians kept on pressing hard and, in the process, secured their first penalty corner of the match but Harmanpreet's flick was brilliantly saved by an agile Kitagawa.
Two minutes into the second quarter, India earned another penalty corner but the variation didn't work as Rohidas's flick went over the post.
India continued their attacking hockey and finally took the lead in the 25th minute when Manpreet scored from a rebound with a powerful reverse hit from top of the circle after Abhishek's initial try, from close range, was saved by the Japanese goalkeeper.
Two minutes from half-time, India goalkeeper PR Sreejesh was alert in front of his goal and was perfectly placed to deny Japan's try, blocking the ball with his legs.
Two minutes into the second half, India secured three consecutive penalty corners and this time Harmanpreet was bang on target with the final attempt, sounding the board with a powerful drag-flick to the left of Kitagawa's extend left leg.
Minutes later, Rohidas tripled India's lead, finding the net with a powerful high flick that beat Japan goalkeeper Kitagawa all ends up.
Shamsher Singh then came close to registering his name in the score sheet only to be denied by Kitagawa.
It was complete domination by the Indians as three minutes into the fourth and final quarter Abhishek made the scoreline 4-0 from a tight angle after receiving a pass from vice-captain Hardik Singh.
With nothing to lose, Japan woke up in the last 10 minutes and secured two back-to-back penalty corners and Tanaka pulled one back.
Harmanpreet added salt to Japan's wounds when he converted his second penalty corner just a minute from the final hooter

Asian Games 2023: Antim Panghal wins bronze in wrestling, Chirag-Satwik also assured of badminton medal

While Antim Panghal beat Tokyo Olympics medallist Bolortuya Bat-Ochir 3-1 to win a bronze medal, Satwik and Chirag confirmed a men's doubles medal for India at the #AsianGames after 41 years

#AntimPanghal #SatwikChirag

<h2>Satwik and Chirag claimed a men's doubles medal after 41 years with an easy 21-7 21-9 win over Singapore's Nge Joo Jie and Johann Prajogo in the quarterfinals</h2>

Teen sensation Antim Panghal humbled Tokyo Olympics medallist Bolortuya Bat-Ochir 3-1 to win a bronze medal but other Indian wrestlers struggled badly at the Asian Games here on Thursday.
The 19-year-old Antim bounced back after losing to two-time Japanese world champion Akari Fujinami in the quarterfinals in a superb manner as she did not let the Mongolian attack much in the women's 53kg bronze play-off.
Antim saved the day for the Indian contingent which badly needed a medal after Narinder Cheema (Greco-Roman 97kg), Naveen (Greco Roman 130kg) and Pooja Gehlot (women's 50kg) were ousted.
Pooja was outplayed 2-9 in the bronze medal bout by Aktenge Keunimjaeva, the Asian championship bronze winner.
A lot was expected from Mansi Ahlawat (women's 57kg) too but she ended up losing her bronze play-off 'by fall' to Uzbekistan's Laylokhon Sobirova, who needed just 70 seconds to win the contest.
Antim had come to Hangzhou after winning a bronze at the world championships and she carried her good form into the prestigious event.
Her bronze is only the second wrestling medal of this edition.
Meanwhile, India confirmed another medal in badminton, with the men's doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty comfortably beating their opponents from Singapore 21-7, 21-9 to qualify for the semifinals.&nbsp;
The duo also became only the second Indian men's doubles pair to secure a medal after Leroy D'sa and Pradeep Gandhe won a bronze in 1982.
Satwik and Chirag confirmed a men's doubles medal after 41 years with an easy 21-7 21-9 win over Singapore's Nge Joo Jie and Johann Prajogo in the quarterfinals to set up a clash with Malaysia's Aaron Chia and Sooh Wooi Yik on Friday.
