Asian Games 2026: Nitesh Siwach wins Greco-Roman silver after 64 years; Squash men's team wins bronze - Highlights

Tune in tomorrow, as recurve archers will fight for the team medals.

Three boxers will fight for gold medals, Indian wrestlers will continue their campaign, and the women's hockey team will fight for the title.

Deepu Gowda finished third in the quarterfinal heat 4, clocking 5.32s, behind Chinese and Japanese climbers.

Only the top two were to advance to the next round; this meant he would exit the competition.

Earlier, he had clocked the national record of 5.091s in the qualifying round to book his place in the last 16, but now he will be ending his campaign in Aichi-Nagoya.

Mansi misses out on a bronze medal after losing 2-5 to Altjin Togtokh of Mongolia in the bronze medal bout

Mongolian wrestler starts the bout aggressively, winning two quick points via step-out.

Mansi tried to find an attack of her own, surviving an early attack from Togtokh, but the Mongolian showed good defence and headed into half-time with a 2-0 lead.

Mansi bounced back late in the second half, levelling the score at 2-2 with 40 seconds on the clock, but after that she lost her composure, conceded a takedown and lost the bout.

Velavan Senthilkumar loses 1-3 (12-10, 6-11, 8-11, 9-11) to Ameeshanraj Chandaran in the final match of the tie.

Malaysia started the tie with Eain Yow Ng defeating Abhay Singh in straight games, but then Veer Chotrani took the tie to level with a 3-0 win over Sanjay Jeeva.

But in the end, Ameeshanraj took down Velavan Senthilkumar and booked his team's place in the final, and India had to settle for a bronze medal.

This also ends India's squash programme with five medals in Aichi Nagoya: 2 Silver, 3 Bronze.

Ameeshanraj continues his good stroke play and rushed to a 7-1 lead in the third game but then Velavan made a good comeback to level the score at 7-7

However, he couldn't finish the game and lost three points in the end, conceding an 8-11 defeat and trailing 1-2 in the match.

Velavan now needs to win the next game anyhow; otherwise, the Indian team will have to settle for bronze and will not be able to defend its title.

Nitesh Siwach won India's first Greco-Roman silver medal in 64 years after losing the final bout 0-4 to Japan's Yuri Nakazato.

The bout had a very slow start, but the Japanese wrestler won the first point, pushing Nitesh out of bounds and then added another point by passivity alongside the par terre.

Nitesh showed good defence in the par terre position but couldn't find any points and, in fact, gave a takedown in the second half, conceding the match and settling for silver.

Ameeshanraj made a strong comeback in the second game, winning it 11-6 after showcasing strong stroke play to trouble Velavan on retrievals.

The tie is tightly poised and is set for a thrilling next few games, as both players will be trying to make it all in this tight affair.

The first two games have already taken 33 minutes, and with at least two more games still left, fatigue can also be a factor.

After a very long 22-minute marathon first game, Velavan took the first game 12-10, following two consecutive points on stroke due to interference.

Both players played multiple long rallies and showed some great retrieving skills, but in the end the indian player took the game after two unforced errors from Ameeshanraj.

Veer claimed a straight-game, 11-4, 11-8, 11-5 win over Sanjay, who was nowhere near close to Veer's tricky gameplay.

Sanjay also made a lot of unforced errors on the tin wall made it much easier for Veer to take the match and level the tie at 1-1.

The tie's fate now depends on the final singles match between Velavan Senthilkumar and Ameeshanraj Chandran.

Inunganbi loses out on a waza-ari to Mongolia's Anujin Uran-Ulzii and misses out on a medal.

The Indian judoka tried everything but was not able to find any scoring move, while the Mongolian found two Yukos on the counter early in the bout.

And then, in the final minute, she also found a waza-ari and made it even tougher for Inunganbi, who eventually finished 5th after losing the bout.

She was India's last remaining judoka, and hence, with the defeat, their campaign ended medal-less once again.
