India's medals have come from a wide range of disciplines, including shooting, athletics, archery, cricket, kabaddi, squash, boxing, rowing, weightlifting and several other sports.

With events still being contested, the 60-medal tally is not expected to be India's final number.

WHAT HAPPENED?

India crossed the 60-medal mark during another productive stretch at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games.

The tally currently stands at:

10 GOLD

21 SILVER

29 BRONZE

60 TOTAL MEDALS

Shooting and archery have been particularly important to India's gold-medal campaign, while athletics has provided a large share of the overall medal haul.

The spread of medals across different sports has also given India a stronger presence across the Games rather than relying on one or two disciplines.

SHOOTING LEADS THE MEDAL CHARGE

Shooting has once again proved to be one of India's most reliable medal-winning sports.

India has collected 15 medals in shooting, including three gold, eight silver and four bronze.

Indian shooters have produced strong results in both individual and team events, helping build the country's overall medal count while also adding valuable gold medals.

ARCHERY MAKES A BIG IMPACT

Archery has been another major contributor, particularly in the compound events.

India has won three gold medals in archery, with the country's compound teams producing several impressive performances.

One of the standout results came when Indian archers defeated South Korea in a closely contested compound event, adding another memorable moment to India's campaign.

The results underline India's growing strength in compound archery on the Asian stage.

ATHLETICS PROVIDES MEDAL DEPTH

Athletics has been one of India's biggest sources of medals by volume.

The sport has produced 24 medals — one gold, nine silver and 14 bronze at the latest count.

While gold medals attract the most attention, the number of silver and bronze medals also shows the breadth of India's performances across track and field.

For India, that depth could prove important as the final medal standings take shape.

GOLD MEDALS REACH DOUBLE DIGITS

India reaching 10 gold medals is another significant milestone.

The country's golds have come from several different sports, including:

  • Archery

  • Athletics

  • Cricket

  • Kabaddi

  • Shooting

That spread is worth noting. India's campaign has not depended on a single athlete, team or discipline.

Instead, medals have come from several parts of the Indian contingent.

INDIA'S POSITION ON THE MEDAL TABLE

With 60 medals, India currently sits eighth overall.

China remains well ahead of the field, with Japan and South Korea also among the leading nations.

India's position could still change, however, as the remaining events are completed.

Several Indian athletes and teams remain in contention, leaving room for the country's medal count — and potentially its overall ranking — to move higher.

A WIDER MEDAL BASE

Another notable feature of India's campaign has been the variety of sports contributing to the tally.

India has collected medals in:

Shooting, athletics, archery, squash, boxing, kabaddi, cricket, rowing, weightlifting, wushu, badminton, table tennis and wrestling, among other disciplines.

That wider medal base is encouraging for India's long-term ambitions in international sport.

CRICKET AND KABADDI ADD GOLD

India's team sports have also played their part.

The current medal breakdown includes gold medals from cricket and both men's and women's kabaddi.

These victories have added to India's gold tally while also providing important contributions to the overall medal table.

MORE MEDALS COULD FOLLOW

The Games are still underway, so India's 60-medal haul is a milestone rather than the final result.

Indian athletes remain involved in competitions across sports including boxing, archery, squash, athletics and others.

The final medal tally will depend on how those remaining events unfold.

For now, India has reached 60. The bigger question is where the final number will land.

India has reached a significant milestone with 10 gold, 21 silver and 29 bronze medals.
