Asian Games: Why India dropped out of top 10 despite winning seven more medals

On the eighth day of the continental multi-sport competition, the Indian contingent collected seven additional podium finishes, featuring two silver medals in squash alongside five podium placements in track and field events. Parul Chaudhary established a fresh national benchmark in the womens three thousand meters steeplechase event to claim a bronze medal.

Despite these achievements, the absence of first-place finishes caused the nation to slip downward in the cumulative medal table. Meanwhile, pugilists Parveen Hooda, Ankush Panghal, and Narender locked up podium finishes by advancing to the semifinal rounds.
