Neeru Dhanda wins two Asian Games golds in Aichi-Nagoya after hospital stay

Neeru Dhanda, a 25-year-old shooter, won two gold medals and a silver at the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, the Times of India reported on September 30, 2026.

Her Asian Games campaign came after a difficult few weeks that included a hospital stay for viral fever.

Her haul in Aichi-Nagoya added to a World Cup gold in July, and coach Mansher Singh told TimesofIndia.com in an exclusive interview that he had seen the "fire in her belly" driving Neeru’s rapid rise and her growing Olympic ambitions.
