Indian Athletes Chase More Medals on Day 13 of Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya

Indian athletes compete across multiple events on Thursday in Aichi-Nagoya, aiming to add to a medal tally that stands at 10 gold, 21 silver and 29 bronze medals following a strong previous day.

Archery Action

Archers are back in action with Chikitha Taniparthi competing in the women's individual quarterfinal against Indonesia's Nurisa Dian Ashrifah. Ganesh Mani Ratnam Thirumuru also takes part in the compound men's individual quarterfinal.

Team Clashes

Two major matches pit India against Pakistan, featuring the men's hockey team in a semifinal and the men's volleyball team in a quarterfinal. Meanwhile, the men's cricket team faces Sri Lanka in their semifinal. If rain washes out the cricket match, India advances to the final by virtue of a higher ICC ranking.

Context

Major multi-sport events like the Asian Games bring together athletes from across the continent to compete in dozens of disciplines over roughly two weeks. Medal tallies and team rankings often fluctuate daily based on results from simultaneous events in archery, shooting, wrestling, and team sports.
