Sports Ministry, Federations to review Asian Games performance on October 13: Sources

Government officials and representatives from various sports organizations are scheduled to convene on October 13 to evaluate India's recent performance at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games. The meeting follows a campaign where the nation secured 85 medals, marking a decline of 21 podium finishes compared to the previous iteration of the event.

Ministry representatives have expressed frustration regarding the return on a 700 crore rupee investment, specifically citing concerns over the lack of success from veteran competitors and the late reporting of athlete injuries. The upcoming review will also scrutinize the allocation of financial support provided through the Target Olympics Podium Scheme, with particular attention directed toward the results in badminton and shooting.
