India Target Multiple Medals on Day 11 at Asian Games

A dense Day 11 schedule gives India near-certain boxing bronzes and several track, trap and archery finals that could change its standing on the medal table.

Overview

  • India secured three guaranteed bronzes when Parveen Hooda, Ankush Panghal and Narender Berwal reached boxing semifinals on Tuesday, Sept 29.
  • Archery progressed for India with Dhiraj Bommadevara advancing comfortably and Neeraj Chauhan surviving a comeback to reach the next elimination round.
  • Kishore Kumar Anbarasu was eliminated in the surfing shortboard quarterfinals while India’s men’s and women’s trap teams contested qualification and team finals with individual finals to follow if shooters qualify.
  • Athletics supplies the day’s biggest medal programme with finals in pole vault, high jump, hammer throw, the 800m races and the men’s 5000m featuring Gulveer Singh and Avinash Sable.
  • Rain continued to disrupt the cricket tournament with another quarterfinal washout advancing higher-seeded teams and the overall situation could alter scheduling and India’s chances in that event while broadcast coverage remains on Sony Sports Network and Sony LIV.
