The Asian Games 2026 are underway in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, with the continental showpiece entering Day 2. India enjoyed a productive opening day, securing two medals, and will look to build on that momentum with more podium opportunities on Monday.

On Sunday, both of India’s medals arrived in shooting. The first came in the women’s 10m air rifle team event, where Sonam Uttam Maskar, Elavenil Valarivan and Vidarsa K Vinod combined to win silver.

The Indian trio posted a combined score of 1898.0, while China claimed gold with a world-record total of 1904.2.

As for the second shooting medal, it was again a silver, with Valarivan clinching it in the Women’s 10m Air Rifle Individual event. She led for much of the competition but was ultimately edged out in the final round, finishing with 252.4 points as Japan’s Hinata Taichi posted 253.0 to claim gold.

Which sports offer medal opportunities on Day 2?
