India retains eight of 28 Hangzhou golds at Aichi-Nagoya as 20 titles change hands

At the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, India defended only eight of its 28 Hangzhou golds and saw 20 titles change hands, the Times of India reported on October 4, 2026.

India lost all seven shooting golds and all six athletics titles, though the report said those golds were replaced from a wider pool.

Thirteen of the new gold medals came in events where India had previously won silver or bronze, or had not reached the podium. The coverage cited names ranging from Pranavi Urs to Lovlina Borgohain.
