The medal rush continued for the Indian contingent on Day 9 of the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou with as many as seven medals getting added to the tally on Monday, October 22. Gold medal eluded the Indian contingent on Gandhi Jayanti but still the athletes impressed as the medal tally reached 60. It started with the men’s rollerskating team winning a bronze and the women’s team replicating the feat in the same discipline before the Mukherjees (Sutirtha and Ayhika) lost their women’s doubles semi-final in table tennis and settled for bronze. 

Then the athletes took over. Parul Chaudhary and Priti Lamba made a double podium finish for India in the women’s 3000m steeplechase before Ancy Sojan registered her personal best in women’s long jump to win the Silver medal. Another Silver was won in the mixed team 4x400m relay but the decision came very late as the Indian team finished third but Sri Lanka were disqualified due to lane infringement and hence India were handed a second place. Tejaswin Shankar’s performance in men’s decathlon in five events so far was another highlight for India as he is currently at the top position in 10-event sport with 4260 points.
