The Indian contingent finished the day with 88 medals, comprising 21 gold, 26 silver and 41 bronze, according to the supplied standings.

One of the biggest highlights was sheetal Devi’s outstanding performance in para archery.

In the individual final, Sheetal defeated Singapore’s Alim Nur Syahidah 142-139 after initially trailing 55-59.

India’s para-athletics team also played a significant role in the country’s medal haul.

The results helped India move into fourth place, although the competition for the leading positions remained intense.

Asian Para Games 2026 Medal Tally After Day 4

The Asian Para Games 2026 medal standings show China with a substantial lead at the top, while Japan and Uzbekistan hold the next two positions. India’s 21 gold medals place it level with South Korea in gold-medal count, but India leads the comparison on silver medals and total medals in the supplied standings.

Note: The supplied medal table lists India with 41 bronze medals and 88 medals overall. The standings are described as periodically updated, so totals and rankings may change as additional results are recorded.

Sheetal Devi Wins Two Gold Medals in Para Archery

Sheetal Devi emerged as one of India’s leading performers on Day 4, winning gold in both the compound mixed team and women’s compound individual events. Her double-gold performance added a significant boost to India’s campaign and demonstrated her ability to deliver in both team and individual competition.

Compound Mixed Team Gold With Toman Kumar

Sheetal Devi and Toman Kumar Taram secured gold in the compound mixed team event. The victory gave India another title in para archery and contributed to the country’s growing medal collection.

Mixed team competition places athletes in a shared competitive setting, requiring them to contribute consistently across the event. The gold medal also provided an important addition to India’s overall standing as the competition progressed.

Individual Final Victory Against Singapore

Sheetal followed her team success by winning the women’s compound individual final against Singapore’s Alim Nur Syahidah. She prevailed 142-139 despite trailing 55-59 earlier in the contest.

The final score reflects a closely contested match in which Sheetal had to overcome an early disadvantage. Winning the individual title after securing the team gold made her one of the standout Indian athletes of the day.

Indian Para Athletics Team Drives the Medal Count

Para athletics continued to contribute substantially to India’s medal tally, with victories across track and field events. The Indian contingent secured gold medals in sprinting, middle-distance competition, jumping and throwing events, while silver and bronze finishes expanded the country’s overall total.

Nishad Kumar Claims Two Gold Medals

Nishad Kumar won gold in the men’s long jump T47 and men’s high jump T47 events. His two victories strengthened India’s position in para athletics and added two titles to the country’s gold-medal count.

Success in both jumping disciplines highlights the range of events represented in India’s para-athletics campaign. Each gold medal also contributed directly to the country’s position in the overall standings.

Simran Secures Sprint Double

Simran won gold in the women’s 200m T12 and women’s 100m T12 events. Her double victory gave India two gold medals in sprint competition and further demonstrated the strength of the country’s track athletes.

The 100m and 200m require athletes to perform across different race distances, with the longer event demanding sustained speed in addition to acceleration. Winning both events made Simran another major contributor to India’s Day 4 success.

Dilip Mahadu Gavit Wins Gold in Two Events

Dilip Mahadu Gavit added two gold medals through victories in the men’s 100m T47 and men’s 400m T47. His results gave India further success across sprint and one-lap track competition.

The two events present different challenges. The 100m focuses heavily on acceleration and top-end speed, while the 400m requires athletes to manage their pace over a longer distance. Gavit’s double gold strengthened India’s performance across both disciplines.

Other Indian Athletics Gold Medallists

Several other Indian athletes won gold medals in field and track events. Their performances helped India maintain a broad medal presence rather than relying on a small group of competitors.

India’s Silver Medal Winners on Day 4

India’s silver-medal performances were spread across para athletics, para shooting, para swimming, para archery, para powerlifting and para judo. These results helped the country maintain a substantial overall medal count, even in events where Indian athletes did not finish first.

Avani Lekhara won silver in the women’s 10m air rifle standing SH1 event, while Manish Narwal secured silver in the men’s 10m air pistol SH1 competition. Their results added to India’s presence in para shooting.

Para Athletics Bronze Medallists

India earned bronze medals in several track and field events. Ravanni Valasanaini secured two bronze medals, in the women’s 1500m T11 and women’s 400m T11. Tejalben Damor won bronze in the women’s 200m T12, while Anubhav Choudhary and Rakeshbhai Bhatt finished third in the men’s 100m T35 and T37, respectively.

Other athletics bronze medallists included Ayush Verma in the men’s javelin throw F53/F54, Praveen Sharma in the men’s shot put F11, Pardeep Kumar in the men’s discus throw F43/F44/F62/F64, Hokato Hotozhe Sema in the men’s shot put F56/F57 and Parveen in the men’s shot put F46.

Rahul added a bronze in the men’s high jump T63.

Para Swimming and Shooting Medals

India’s para swimmers also contributed to the bronze tally. Himanshu Nandal won bronze in the men’s 400m freestyle S11 and men’s 100m breaststroke SB11. Niranjan Mukundan secured third place in the men’s 200m individual medley SM7.

Ravi Karthik Budigina added bronze in the men’s 50m freestyle S13, while Rohit Kumar finished third in the men’s 100m breaststroke SB4. Swatik Patil won bronze in the men’s 100m breaststroke SB9, and Tejas Nandakumar secured a podium finish in the men’s 100m backstroke S7.

In para shooting, Shrishti Arora won bronze in the women’s 10m air pistol SH1 event.

Para Badminton, Table Tennis and Judo

India’s medal-winning campaign extended beyond athletics and swimming. Kapil Parmar won bronze in the men’s J1 -70kg para judo event, while Jehan Madan secured third place in men’s singles Class 1 para table tennis.

Sonalben Patel, Bhavina Patel, Prachi Pandey and Baby Sahana Ravi also won bronze medals in their respective women’s singles para table tennis classes. Shubham Wadhwa and Bhavina Patel earned bronze in mixed doubles Class XD7.

Para badminton produced several podium finishes. Suhas Lalinakere Yathiraj won bronze in men’s singles SL4, while Sanjana Kumari secured bronze in women’s singles SL3. Abhijeet Sakhuja also finished third in men’s singles SL4.

India added further bronze medals through Nithya Sre Sumathy Sivan and Krishna Nagar in mixed doubles SH6, Manisha Ramdass and Pramod Bhagat in mixed doubles WH1-WH2, and Alphia James and Pallavi Kaluvehalli in women’s doubles SL3-SU5. Manisha Ramdass also won bronze in women’s singles SU5, while Surya Kant Yadav and Naveen Sivakumar secured third place in men’s doubles SL3-SU5.

How India Reached Fourth Place in the Medal Standings

India’s rise from fifth to fourth place followed a day of gold-medal success and additional podium finishes. The country ended the day with 21 gold medals, placing it level with South Korea in gold-medal count. India’s 26 silver medals, however, exceeded South Korea’s 23, giving India the higher position in the supplied standings.

The comparison illustrates why medal-table rankings cannot be understood by looking at gold medals alone. When two countries have the same number of gold medals, the number of silver medals becomes the next important comparison in a conventional gold-first ranking system. India’s higher silver count separates it from South Korea in the provided table.

India’s overall medal count of 88 also exceeds Thailand’s 92 only in gold-medal ranking terms? No: Thailand’s supplied total is 92, compared with India’s 88. Thailand nevertheless occupies seventh place because its 16 gold medals are fewer than India’s 21. This distinction shows that medal-table positions generally prioritize gold medals rather than total medals.

Iran’s standings provide another example. Iran has 80 medals, fewer than India’s 88, but its 19 gold medals place it below India despite having more silver medals. Gold-medal totals therefore remain central to the ranking, while silver and bronze medals determine the order when gold counts are equal.

China Leads as Japan and Uzbekistan Hold the Next Two Positions

China remained comfortably ahead of the other countries in the supplied standings, with 150 gold medals and 314 medals overall. Its gold-medal total was greater than the combined gold totals of Japan and Uzbekistan, which had 40 and 38, respectively.

Japan occupied second place with 136 medals, including 40 gold, 46 silver and 50 bronze. Uzbekistan ranked third with 120 medals, consisting of 38 gold, 41 silver and 41 bronze.

The gap between India and the top three remained substantial. India had 21 gold medals, compared with Uzbekistan’s 38. The immediate focus for the Indian contingent was therefore to defend fourth place while continuing to add gold medals across the remaining events.

What India’s Day 4 Performance Means for the Remaining Competition

India’s medal tally demonstrates strength across several sports rather than dependence on a single discipline. Para athletics contributed a large share of the listed gold medals, while para archery provided a major highlight through Sheetal Devi’s double victory. Para swimming, shooting, badminton, table tennis, judo and powerlifting also contributed medals.

This spread matters because different sports offer separate opportunities to increase a country’s medal count. A strong performance in one discipline can help a delegation maintain its position, while additional medals from other sports can provide greater depth across the standings.

India’s next objective, based on the supplied standings, is to protect fourth place and increase its gold-medal total. South Korea is the closest country in the table by gold-medal count, with both nations listed on 21 gold medals. India’s three-medal advantage in silver gives it a stronger position in the supplied ranking, but further results could change the order.

The source material identifies para athletics, swimming, badminton and table tennis among the sports with finals still to come. The outcomes of those events could influence India’s final medal count and its position relative to other participating nations.
