· Sports · India Today, Indian Express
India secured five athletics medals — two silver and three bronze — at the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya on Sunday, but failed to win a gold medal. Ancy Sojan and Sarvesh Kushare won silver in women's long jump and men's high jump, respectively. Tejaswin Shankar, Parul Chaudhary, and Harita Bhadra earned bronze in decathlon, 3000m steeplechase, and discus throw. India's athletics tally now stands at 13 medals (six silver, seven bronze) after the day's events. The gold medal remained elusive despite strong performances and near-misses in several events.
