Asian Games 2026 LIVE Updates, Day 5: As the Asian Games 2026 move into the fifth day of action, India’s medal tally received an early boost with Naorem Roshibina Devi securing silver in the women’s 60kg wushu event — her third consecutive Asian Games podium — following a hard-fought final against China’s Xiaoyu Zhang. Adding to the podium success, Satnam Singh and Salman Khan bagged a bronze medal in the men’s double sculls, while the mixed team pair of Anantjeet Singh Naruka and Parinaaz Dhaliwal added another bronze to the tally in skeet shooting. There was disappointment elsewhere on the range, however, as the men’s 10m air pistol team of Kamaljeet, Kedarling Balakrishna, and Aakash Bhardwaj missed out on a medal by finishing fourth with a total score of 1727, with none of the trio advancing to the individual final. Meanwhile, junior world champion Anahat Singh got her Asian Games 2026 campaign underway in squash with a dominant win. (Medal Tally)
