Mirabai Chanu Shines as India Secures Multiple Medals at Asian Games 2026
Mirabai Chanu Leads India's Medal Rush
On Wednesday, Mirabai Chanu spearheaded India's medal efforts at the Asian Games 2026 by winning a silver medal in the women's 49kg weightlifting category, marking her first podium finish at the Asiad. Additionally, India celebrated four bronze medals through Jay Meena in soft tennis, the men's badminton team, and both the women's and men's skeet shooting teams. However, the day was bittersweet as the highly anticipated 10m air pistol team, featuring two-time Olympic medalist Manu Bhaker, finished without a medal. In a positive turn, wushu athlete Roshibina Devi advanced to the finals, positioning herself for a potential gold medal tomorrow.
