Its time for the Opening Ceremony!

The wait is almost over. It's about time for the opening ceremony. The Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games are all set to begin, with India eyeing another big medal haul after its record 106-medal showing at the Hangzhou Asian Games in 2023.

Manu Bhaker and Pawan Sehrawat will lead the Indian contingent at the opening ceremony as the excitement builds across Aichi-Nagoya.

For some athletes these Games are a shot at Olympic qualification, for others, it is a chance to gain big-stage exposure.
