As the Asian Games close, with a last-minute gold rush, India set to finish fourth
India finished the Asian Games in fourth place, with 21 gold medals, 27 silvers and 37 bronzes for a total of 85 medals. The turnaround from just 10 gold medals earlier in the week was remarkable and sudden. The only gold that was not in doubt was India's 5-1 victory in men's field hockey, won with just two players on the field.
Other highlights included Kumkum Mohod's gold in women's recurve archery, Pranavi Urs' gold in women's golf, and Aman Sehrawat's gold in men's freestyle wrestling 57 kg. However, India was 22 medals short of its 2023 performance.
