Nagoya, Asian Games 2026 witnessed the end of India's Kurash campaign as Vipin Kumar exited the Men's 66kg pre-quarterfinals.

This marked the conclusion of India's participation in the Kurash event at the Asian Games. Pincky Balhara had earlier secured India's one and only medal in the form of a bronze in the women's -78kg event on Monday.
