Roshibina Devi Secures Wushu Silver

Roshibina Devi won silver in the women’s 60 kg sanda competition after losing the final to China’s Zhang Xiaoyu. Sanda is the combat discipline of wushu, requiring athletes to combine striking, defence and tactical movement across successive bouts. Although the gold medal remained out of reach, Roshibina’s place in the final gave India another medal on 24 September. It also extended her remarkable Asian Games record: she has now won a medal at three consecutive editions, having taken bronze in 2018 and silver in 2023. Her latest podium finish underlines the consistency she has maintained across years of international competition.

Rowing Pair Creates Indian History

Satnam Singh and Salman Khan won bronze in the men’s double sculls, securing India’s first Asian Games medal in that event. Double sculls places two rowers in one boat, with each athlete using a pair of oars. Their performance demanded closely matched timing and sustained effort through the race. The medal is significant beyond India’s daily tally because it marks progress in a rowing category where the country had not previously reached the Asian Games podium. The pair’s result also gave Indian supporters a memorable moment early in the day, before further medals arrived from wushu and shooting.

Mixed Skeet Team Earns Bronze

Anantjeet Singh Naruka and Parinaaz Dhaliwal claimed bronze for India in the mixed team skeet event. The Indian pair finished level with South Korea on 44 points, but South Korea took silver on the ranking tiebreak because it had placed higher in qualification. That narrow separation shows how close the contest was at the medal stage. Skeet requires competitors to hit moving clay targets from different positions, making timing and accuracy essential throughout the event. For India, the bronze was another addition from shooting on 24 September and completed a three-medal day across three separate sports.

Hockey Team Defeats South Korea

India’s men’s hockey team beat South Korea 8–2 in a Pool A match, producing one of the day’s most striking team results. Dilpreet Singh and Abhishek scored twice each as India maintained its strong start to the group stage. The victory followed earlier wins against Indonesia and Sri Lanka, but the South Korea match offered another test of India’s attacking form. An eight-goal performance gave the team a substantial result to carry into its remaining fixtures. It was a group-stage win, so India still has further matches to play before the medals in men’s hockey are decided.

India’s Reported Medal Tally Reaches Fifteen

Following the day’s wushu, rowing and shooting results, India’s reported medal tally reached 15: one gold, six silver and eight bronze. The gold came earlier in the Games when the women’s cricket team defeated Sri Lanka in the T20 final on 22 September. A medal count during an ongoing multisport event is only a snapshot; it can change as finals conclude and results are confirmed. The 24 September tally shows how contributions from both team and individual sports are building India’s overall campaign. Readers following the Games later in the day should check the latest official standings for updates.

More Events Remain For India

India’s athletes also had competitions and qualifying rounds across athletics, squash, kabaddi and other sports on 24 September. In squash, Anahat Singh and Tanvi Khanna advanced to the quarterfinals, setting up a match against each other. India’s men defeated Chinese Taipei 37–21 in kabaddi, continuing their unbeaten run at that point in the competition. These results do not add medals immediately, but they shape the next stages of India’s campaign. The Asian Games continue until 4 October, leaving time for more finals, team matches and medal opportunities after an already busy day for the Indian contingent.
