Harita Bhadra Claims 200m Bronze in Asian Games Photo-Finish
· Sports · Times of India, Sportstar
India's Harita Bhadra edged Japan's Abigeirufuka Ido by a razor-thin 0.01 seconds to win the women's 200m bronze at the Asian Games 2026 in Aichi-Nagoya on September 27. She clocked 23.20 seconds, finishing behind Indonesia's Shanti Pereira (22.78s) and China's Yujie Chen (22.93s). The bronze was India's ninth athletics medal at the Games, with the track and field contingent now holding four silvers and five bronzes. India are still awaiting their first athletics gold at the Aichi-Nagoya venue.
Why it matters
The result strengthens India's overall athletics medal tally at the Asian Games and keeps the contingent in contention for more medals across remaining finals. It adds to a productive campaign for Indian sprinting just as the women's long jump and decathlon finals were also underway.
