India Aims for Medal Surge on Day 3 of Asian Para Games

India's medal haul continued to grow on the second day of competition at the Asian Para Games 2026, with the contingent adding 24 medals to strengthen its overall tally in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan. The strong showing has positioned the Indian team favourably as it heads into the third day of competition.

Sheetal and other Indian para-athletes are expected to be instrumental in India's push for additional medals on Wednesday. The performance on Day 2 demonstrates the depth of talent within India's paralympic squad and suggests sustained competitive strength across multiple disciplines.

With momentum building, Indian athletes will seek to maintain consistency and capitalise on their current form. The team's efforts contribute to India's broader representation at the quadrennial Asian Para Games, one of the continent's premier paralympic competitions.

As competition continues in Aichi-Nagoya, India's para-athletes remain focused on delivering performances that add to the nation's medal tally and underscore the capabilities of the country's paralympic movement.
