After a bunch of medals on 3 October of Asian Games 2023, where Indian athletes bagged and confirmed to add to India’s tally, the focus will now shift to another day where onus will be on athletes and wrestling. India is still miles away from 100 medals but some magical performance can ensure India’s best ever finish at Asiad.
Wrestling events will begin from today and Neeraj Chopra will highlight India’s challenge in the athletics on the day. Team events of archery are also scheduled on the day where they will compete in the quarter finals. Indian men’s hockey team will play their all important semi finals against South Korea and Lovlina Borgohain will take the ring in the boxing finals.
