India have made its mark at the Asian Games 2023, excelling in specific sports that brought a total of 10 medals for the country. Interestingly, the medal distribution is evenly split between shooting and rowing, each contributing five medals to India’s tally.

In shooting, India’s performance was striking, bringing home one gold, one silver, and three bronze medals. The gold was secured by the men’s 10m air rifle team, consisting of Rudrankksh Patil, Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar and Divyansh Singh Panwar, elevating India’s status in the highly-competitive event. A silver medal was claimed by the women’s 10m air rifle team while individual athletes contributed the three bronze medals.

Equally impressive was India’s rowing team, although they didn’t claim the top podium. With two silver and three bronze medals, the rowers showed consistency and teamwork. The men’s lightweight double sculls and men’s eight categories added silver medals to the count. Meanwhile, bronze medals came from the men’s pair, men’s four, and men’s quadruple sculls events.
