Japan, September 27 - India's young squash talent Anahat Singh clinched a silver medal in the women's singles competition at the ongoing Asian Games 2026 in Japan, falling short in the final against Malaysia's Sivasangari Subramaniam.

This marks India's 32nd medal at the Asian Games, contributing to the nation's 4 gold, 13 silver, and 14 bronze medals tally. Meanwhile, Abhay Singh, ranked 26th globally, secured the silver medal in the men's singles event, despite losing the final to Ng Eain Yow of Malaysia. Abhay, who was ranked 17th globally, struggled to match Yow's consistency, ultimately succumbing to a straight-game victory, 9-11, 5-11, 5-11.
This result denied Abhay the chance to secure the Olympic qualification spot reserved for the men's singles gold medallist, as squash makes its Olympic debut at the Los Angeles 2028 Games.
