Asian Games 2022 : India creates new record with all time highest number of medal wins

 



India set a record in the Asian Games.  With the gold win in archery on Wednesday morning, India's medal tally stood at 71.  This is India's most medals in the Asian Games.  Earlier, India had won 70 medals in Jakarta in 2018.  That number has been exceeded.  India is aiming for 100 medals in this year's Asian Games.  29 more medals to reach that target.



 Not only the total number of medals, but also in terms of winning gold, India has set a precedent.  The country won 16 golds in Jakarta.  This time 16 golds have already been won.  In other words, if India wins another gold, it will also hold the record of winning the most golds in a single year in the Asian Games.  Two competitors from India will compete in the final of an event in archery.  Gold and silver are guaranteed there.  In other words, it can be said that India has set a precedent in winning gold.


 India has so far won 16 gold, 26 silver and 29 bronze medals in this year's competition.  Out of 16 golds, 7 came from shooting alone.  4 came from athletics.  One gold each came from cricket, squash, equestrian, tennis and archery.  Most of India's 26 silver medals came from athletics.  India got 10 silver in this event.  9 silver came from shooting.  2 silver came from rowing.  The remaining 5 silvers came from badminton, golf, sailing, tennis and wushu.  9 out of 29 bronzes came from athletics.  6 medals came from shooting.  India won 3 bronzes each in boxing and rowing, 2 each in roller skating and sailing and 1 each in canoe sprint, equestrian, squash and table tennis.


 Out of 71 medals in this year's Asian Games, 23 medals came in athletics.  Shooting is not far behind.  Indian shooters bagged 22 medals.  That is, out of 71 medals, India won 45 medals in these two events  alone.  India's medal tally in athletics is likely to increase.  There are still several wrestling events left.  India has a chance to win several medals there as well.  They are moving step by step towards the goal of 100 medals set by India.  29 left.



In Archery Jyothi Vennam & Ojas Deotale beat Korean pair 159-158 in FINAL in Compound Mixed Team event to get the record equalling 16th gold for India
