Asian Games LIVE Updates, Day 14: Sujeet Storms Into Men's 65kg Semifinals; Women's Recurve Team Win Historic Gold Medal

Sujeet has turned the semifinal around. After falling 0-2 behind early on, the Indian wrestler has now scored two more points to move 4-2 ahead of Japan’s Kotaro Kiyooka. Sujeet is finding his rhythm and putting the pressure back on the Japanese wrestler.

Nethra Kumanan has added another sailing medal to India’s tally after securing bronze in the women’s dinghy. A tough first final race put her under pressure, but the Indian responded in style in the second race to bring herself back into the medal picture.

Nethra finished level on points with Hong Kong’s Stephanie Louise Norton after the two final races, but her better head-to-head record against Norton puts her ahead in the final standings. Another bronze is now confirmed for India in sailing.

Sujeet Kalkal has powered into the men’s 65kg freestyle semifinals with a dominant win over Iran’s Abbas Ebrahimzadehsavadkouhi. The Indian came out firing, scoring four points with an early move that sent Abbas onto his shoulder, although a successful challenge from the Iranian corner later reduced Sujeet’s tally to two.

Sujeet stayed sharp from there, adding two more points before another takedown took him to 6-0. He then stretched the advantage to 8-0 before the end of the opening round. Abbas had a huge task ahead of him, but Sujeet wasted no time in the second, securing another single-leg takedown to make it 10-0. That was enough to end the bout by technical superiority, sending Sujeet into the semifinals.

Sujeet Kalkal is through to the quarterfinals of the men’s 65kg freestyle event, where he faces Iran’s Abbas Ebrahimzadehsavadkouhi. The bout gets underway after a brief delay, and Sujeet wastes no time making his attacking intent clear.

The Indian pulls off a four-point move, putting Abbas onto his shoulder to make a strong start. The reason for the stoppage is not immediately clear, but Sujeet have made an early statement in this quarterfinal.

It ends in silver for Kumkum Mohod and Dhiraj Bommadevara after China edged them 5-3 in a closely fought final. India struggled for consistency early on, with a few 7s and 8s proving costly, but fought back in the final set as Kumkum hit a 10 and Dhiraj added a 9.

China matched India’s 37, with Li catching the line for a 10 to tie the set 37-37 and seal the gold. China also secured the Olympic quota for Los Angeles 2028, while Kumkum and Dhiraj earned India a silver, their first Asian Games medal beyond bronze in recurve archery.

India have pulled one back in dramatic fashion, winning the third set 37-36 after China’s Li could only manage a 7 with the set hanging in the balance. Kumkum produced a crucial 10 under pressure, while Dhiraj added a 9 to keep India in the fight. China still lead 4-2, but India remain alive in the final.

A medal that was still pending yesterday has now officially come India’s way!

Harshita Tomar and Shital Verma have been awarded the bronze medal in the women's skiff after China were disqualified from a couple of races. The penalty has reshuffled the standings and moved the Indian pair up by one place.

India had originally finished fourth when all the races wrapped up, but the post-event action against the Chinese team has changed the final classification. And that means the wait is over - Harshita and Shital are now bronze medallists!

India's Dhiraj and Kumkum punched their ticket to the recurve mixed team final by edging past the Japanese pair 5-3 in a thrilling semifinal showdown.

Japan claimed the opening set 38-37 to take a 2-0 lead, before both sides tied the second set 36-36, leaving Japan ahead 3-1.

Kashish Malik's campaign came to a close in the quarterfinals of the mixed individual virtual taekwondo event following a narrow 1-2 defeat against Kazakhstan's Rita Bakisheva.

Priya faced a tough opening test in the women's 76kg category, bowing out 1-6 against reigning champion Kyzy Medet.

Rajat Ruhal faced a tough opening match in the men's freestyle 125kg category, dropping a 3-8 decision to U20 world champion Yedige Kassimbek.

Dipanshi faced a tough start in the women's 50kg opening round, bowing out 0-11 against four-time world champion and wrestling legend Yui Susaki. Drawing a legend like Yui Susaki early on does come with one silver lining: a near-certain ticket to the repechage rounds and a shot at the bronze medal.

A thrilling final set saw India tie Korea's score of 54 with a last minute correction and they split points. India finish with the lead of 5-3 and India win their first gold medal in Women's Team Recurve Archery event at the Asian Games 2026. Sensational performance from Kumkum Mohod, Ankita Bhakat, and Kirti.

India seized the momentum in the third set with a strong 55-51 win, pulling ahead to a 4-2 lead.

Following another hard-fought exchange that ended level at 56-56, the score is now tied at 2-2.

Following a tightly contested opening exchange between India and Korea that ended level at 54-54, the scores are deadlocked at 1-1.

India is set to lock horns with powerhouse South Korea in a blockbuster gold medal match, with live coverage available on Sony Sports.

The Indian recurve women's team trio of Kumkum Mohod, Ankita Bhakat, and Kirti delivered a stellar performance, defeating China 5-1 to storm into the final of the event. Making history in style, they punched their ticket to the Asian Games final for the very first time ever.
