It is a rare quirk of fate—and perhaps a touch of prophetic parenting—that two of India’s most explosive track cycling stars share their names with legendary football icons. Named after Brazilian phenomenon Ronaldo and English midfield maestro David Beckham, Ronaldo Singh Laitonjam and David Beckham Elkatohchoongo have traded cleats and pitches for carbon-fiber frames and velodrome tracks. Far from being mere namesakes, both athletes have carved out stellar paths of their own, bringing elite power, grit, and international acclaim to Indian cycling as they headline high-stakes sprinting events on the global stage.

India have seized the initiative in a high-stakes archery showdown, charging to a 118-115 lead over powerhouse South Korea at the halfway mark. Displaying nerves of steel and razor-sharp precision on the shooting line, the trio of Jyothi Surekha Vennam, Chikitha Taniparthi, and Prithika Pradeep have put themselves in the driver's seat as they look to maintain their composure and close out a statement victory in the latter half of the match.

India are through to the gold medal match of the compound women's team event in archery after a breathtaking semifinal thriller against powerhouse South Korea. In a contest that went down to the absolute wire, the formidable trio of Jyothi Surekha Vennam, Prithika Pradeep, and Chikitha Taniparthi held their nerve under intense pressure to edge past their opponents with a slender 234-233 victory, securing a hard-fought and memorable spot in the final.

India are set to clash with powerhouse China in the high-stakes gold medal match of the compound archery event, with action scheduled to get underway at 7:20 AM IST. Having already displayed incredible grit and composure to battle through fierce semifinal competition, the Indian squad will look to carry that winning momentum onto the final stage and secure the ultimate prize.

India have firmly stamped their authority on the gold medal clash, pulling ahead to a commanding 119-116 lead over China at the halfway stage. Displaying immaculate precision and unwavering composure on the shooting line, the Indian archers have seized control of the final, putting themselves in prime position to close out a historic victory in the second half of the match.

History has been scripted at the range as the stellar trio of Jyothi Surekha Vennam, Prithika Pradeep, and Chikitha Taniparthi delivered a golden masterclass, defeating China 238-234 in a thrilling summit clash to clinch the gold medal in the compound women's team event. Along the way, the indomitable Indian squad equalled a world record with South Korea to capture India's 7th gold of the Asian Games, displaying nerves of steel and unmatched precision from start to finish to stand proudly on top of the podium.

India’s judo campaign has made a phenomenal start at the Games, with Asmita Dey storming into the quarterfinals of the women's 48kg category. Displaying absolute dominance on the mat, she sealed her progression in style with a stunning Ippon victory over her Vietnamese opponent in the opening round, setting an inspiring tone for the rest of the day's events.

In what feels like a heartbreaking echo of her Paris 2024 heartbreak, wrestler Nisha Dahiya once again suffered a cruel twist of fate against North Korea's Sol Gum Pak. Having famously led 8-1 in the Olympic quarterfinals before a devastating injury derailed her campaign into an 8-10 defeat, Nisha found herself locked in another fierce battle with the same opponent. Tragically, history repeated itself as the bout ended in a 4-4 deadlock, with Nisha losing out on criteria to once again fall victim to the North Korean in agonizing fashion.

The Indian contingent is back in action and gunning for another spot on the podium, locking horns with Thailand in the high-stakes semifinals of the compound mixed team event. Fans can catch all the live-action drama unfold right now on Sony Sports as our archers look to secure another shot at gold.

India have asserted their class in the semifinals, pulling ahead to a narrow but vital 77-75 lead over Thailand at the halfway stage. Displaying sharp focus and steady hands on the shooting line, the Indian pair are firmly in the driver's seat as they look to maintain their composure and close out a spot in the gold medal match during the second half.

The Indian charge at the archery range continues to gather unstoppable momentum as Sahil Jadhav and Taniparthi Chikitha stormed into the final of the compound mixed team event. In a pulsating and nail-biting semifinal showdown against Thailand, the Indian pair held their nerve under immense pressure to eke out a thrilling 156-155 victory, booking their well-deserved ticket to the gold medal match.

Greco-Roman wrestler Sunil Kumar put up a valiant fight in the men's 87kg semifinals but fell short against reigning World medalist Taizo Yoshoda, suffering a 0-10 defeat. Despite the tough setback on the mat, Sunil’s campaign at the Asian Games is far from over, as he turns his complete focus toward the upcoming playoff to battle for a hard-earned bronze medal.

India's Sunil Kumar went down 0-11 via technical superiority to Japan's Taizo Yoshida in the men's 87kg Greco-Roman semifinal. He will now face the Philippines' Callum Johnston Roberts in the bronze-medal bout at 3:00 p.m.

India have won gold in the compound mixed team event after edging South Korea in a thrilling shoot-off. Chikitha and Sahil held their nerve throughout the final, with the teams locked at 157-157 after the regulation arrows.

In the shoot-off, Chikitha and Sahil both hit 10s, while South Korea's Park also found a 10 before Choi could manage only a 9. That sealed gold for India in a dramatic finish.

India's Asmita Dey has lost her women's 48kg quarterfinal to Kazakhstan's Abiba Abuzhakynova by Ippon. She will now face Hong Kong's Ka Lee Wong in the repechage, with a place in the bronze-medal bout at stake.

India's Nisha has been eliminated from the women's 68 kg event after losing to South Korea's Park Hyeonyeong by fall. Nisha led 1-0 in the first period and added three more points in the second, but Park produced a late fall to seal victory and end Nisha's Asian Games campaign.

India's Priya Ghanghas has won the bronze medal in the women's 60kg category after losing to China's Yang Chengyu by a split 4-1 decision in the semifinal. Priya started aggressively, but Yang's defence held firm as she limited the Indian's clean connections and secured her place in the final.

India have struck gold in the trap mixed team event, with Kynan Chenai and Neeru Dhanda delivering a strong finish to top the podium. The Indian duo scored 34 in the final series, breaking the Asian record set by Qatar in Doha earlier in 2026. Qatar took silver, while China settled for bronze.

India are in control against South Korea in the compound men's semifinal. South Korea open the series with Choi Y hitting a nine, followed by another nine from Kim and a nine from Choi EG. India make them pay as Sahil Jadhav, Ganesh and Kushal Dalal all find the 10-ring to stretch their lead to seven points.

South Korea respond with 10 from Choi Y, 10 from Kim and a nine from Choi EG, but India keep their advantage. Sahil and Ganesh both hit inner 10s, while Kushal adds a nine as India maintain their seven-point cushion at 178-171.

WHAT A FINAL! India have beaten China 238-237 to win the compound men's team gold at the Asian Games. That makes it three gold medals in three archery events for India today, capping off a stunning day on the range.

India have moved up to seventh place after winning four gold medals since this morning. India’s medal tally now stands at 10 gold, 21 silver, and 28 bronze medals.

Asmita Dey have missed out on a bronze medal after going down to Mongolia’s Narantsetseg Ganbaatar in the women’s judo bronze-medal bout. Ganbaatar struck with a waza-ari at 1:47 and managed to protect her lead until the final whistle.

Both judokas picked up a shido during the contest, but Asmita could not find a way back and finish on the podium.

Top seeds Anirudh Chandrasekar and N Sriram Balaji are out of the men’s doubles event after a tight quarterfinal defeat to China’s Jiang Fumin and Zhang Tianhui. The Indian pair lost 7-6(4), 6(7)-7, [8-10] in a contest that went right down to the wire.

Anirudh Chandrasekar and N Sriram Balaji are out of the men’s doubles event after a tight quarterfinal defeat to China’s Jiang Fumin and Zhang Tianhui. The Indian pair lost 7-6(4), 6(7)-7, [8-10] in a contest that went right down to the wire.

Midfielder Raj Kumar Pal has been ruled out of India’s men’s hockey semifinal against Pakistan at the Asian Games 2026 after suffering a thumb injury. Nilakanta Sharma has replaced him in the Indian squad for the last-four clash.

India coach Craig Fulton confirmed the change in a video shared by Hockey India on social media.

• 3:00 p.m. — Wrestling: Sunil Kumar vs Callum Roberts (Philippines) in the Greco-Roman 87kg bronze-medal bout

• 3:30 p.m. onwards — Hockey: India vs South Korea in the women's semifinal

• 4:36 p.m. onwards — Sport Climbing: Joga Purty in the women's Speed 4 quarterfinal, followed by the semifinals and final

• TBD — Tennis: Yuki Bhambri-Rutuja Bhosle vs Su-wei Hsieh-Chun-hsin Tseng (Chinese Taipei) in mixed doubles Round 2

Sunil Kumar has added another Asian Games bronze medal to his collection, beating the Philippines’ Callum Johnston Roberts 9-0 by technical superiority in the Greco-Roman 87kg bronze-medal bout.

The Indian wrestler dominated the contest and sealed the victory with three minutes still remaining on the clock.

A big moment late in the semifinal as India win a penalty corner after Deepika does well to control the ball and appears to win a foot. South Korea immediately review the decision, questioning whether there was a push by the defender.

The TV umpire checks the incident, but the penalty corner is overturned. No PC for India, and South Korea retain possession as the game enters the final stages.

The Indian women’s hockey team have beaten South Korea 2-0 in the semi-final to book their place in the gold medal match! A composed and clinical performance when it mattered most.

Now, one final hurdle remains, China await in the final, with India chasing their first Asian Games women’s hockey gold since 1982.

Deepu Mallesh has booked his place in the men’s speed climbing quarterfinals after finishing 11th in the qualification round. However, there was disappointment in the women’s event as Joga Purti failed to progress from the qualification stage.

Yuki Bhambri and Rutuja Bhosale have dropped the opening set 3-6 against Chinese Taipei’s Chun-hsin Tseng and Su-wei Hsieh. The Indian pair now needs a strong response in the second set to keep their Asian Games campaign alive.

India’s men’s doubles campaign comes to an end. Yuki Bhambri and Dhakshineswar Suresh fought hard in the quarterfinal but went down 0-2 to Chinese Taipei’s Chenjui Ho and Yu-hsiou Hsu.

The Indian duo lost a tight opening set 6-7(5) before falling 3-6 in the second. A valiant effort, but their Asian Games journey ends in the last eight.

Thank you for joining.
